Do I have a decent computer? - Off-topic

Hello, I know this is kind of a dumb question but I had just recently bought this computer off eBay for around $290.00 USD. Everything should be in the picture? If not let me know if there is anything else I can provide you so I can get just a general idea. Thank You SO MUCH!

its nothing special.
mines way better!!!!!
btw: the game!!!

Assuming thats a laptop based off of the T series chip, what brand and model is it... also, what size HDD and what graphics card does it have (onboard or dedicated, model, and memory size)?

1. Laptop? Yes.
2. Brand? HP Compaq.
3. Model? 6910p.
And hopefully the picture should answer the rest of the questions I did not answer, if not tell me what I missed and how can I let you know? Thanks!

for $290 thats not bad at all, seeing as when they came out they retailed for around $1200. you could potentially upgrade the memory to 4gb and then youd have quite a descent machine on your hands for the price you paid.

its a good machine, my rating is around 4, so your around there. Unless you below 2, its all good

How do I know how many slots I have available for RAM, and what RAM I exactly need? I am kinda new to computers but I know there are different types, like there is not just 1 type of 2gb DDR2 RAM..

What you have there is a business laptop. It has an Intel integrated GM965 chipset with integrated video (it sucks but does the job. Don't expect to play Blops at full visuals). Each memory slot can hold DDR2 PC2-6400 or DDR2 PC2-5300, max 2Gb/slot. It has 2 slots for a maximum of 4Gb
The 6910b is a stalwart laptop, able to take a good bit of abuse. Just don't expect it to be a high-end (or even mid-range) graphics lappy
Yours truly,
[HP engineer]

For $290 its not garbage... its a descent rugged machine. Its not going to play games well, but its more than sufficient for web browsing and listening to music. Why dont you take your negative comments somewhere else.

The measly 4GB on the diamond with NO means of expansion is not enough.
The iphone offers 8 and 16.. even the freaking Samsung Tocco is being given away with 8GB card.
What were HTC thinking?!

No.. I absolutely detest the iPhone.
I already have my diamond, but tonight (as I put loads of music on my device) ive been thinking about it more and more... why didnt HTC put at least 8GB in it or add a Micro SD slot.
Other than that, I absolutely adore my diamond. Its a fantastic device and a great upgrade to my HTC Touch.
The whole 'mine is bigger than yours' thing doesn't bother me.
It's a phone, not an entertainment system for me.
I always carry a usb drive and am rarely far from a real pc.
When I ordered it I hadn't noticed the lack of card slot and I've only ever had a 2gig card in my previous smartphones. Maybe I just don't understand the concern to have so much on a media player but then again I did used to buy C120 tapes for my walkman

I cant remember the exact figure but it would add several mm to the device to put in a MicroSD slot so that's the main reason they didnt. There may also be power savings and speed improvements but i beleive the size issue was the most important.

Second the notion! One of the best things the Diamond has is its size!
Perfect size,you boys are forgetting the SIZE.

Turns into one too you try and do anything clever on it ;-)
I'm syncing my diamond to my iMac(itunes) using missing sync, so I'm not really sure whether this is possible using media player on windows, haven't been using windows for years so I have no idea as to it's playlist capabilities...
I've got two playlists that I'm syncing (everytime my diamond connects, basically every night) the first one I add music to as I please (songs I have to actually add to the playlist)... The second however consists of songs played less than three times... I have a pretty large library and my diamond pretty much always have music on it that I'm not tired of, hence I find the 4Gb quite sufficient. This is also available for videos, or video podcasts (if you use your diamond as a video player)
They'll comeout with one with more memory, until then, go to www.modmyifone.com:)

I absolutely agree. Everyone knows that the Diamond has 4Gb and is not expandable. Pretty pathetic really if they buy it and then realise they want more space.
I have stored 100+ pics, 15 hours of music and installed all programs in the internal storage - and I still have 2,4 GB free.

Not really. Its like anything else, you buy it thinking it'll be fine - its only when the space runs out that you realise you want more.
And no - dont go suggesting the iphone as an alternative, to me its a compromise. I want a kick ass Windows Mobile device. The diamond is damn near perfect apart from the storage issue. Curious HTC went this route as
1) Flash memory is very cheap. Hardly any cost difference between 4GB and 8GB
2)A Micro SD slot will not impact size that much
Do any of you think there will be any third party solutions (adaptors of some sort?)

The forum is for trying to solve a problem and sharing information.
Moaning - perhaps understandable to a certain limit.
Now, you know there is nothing you (or anyone else can do) about the 4 GB internal sotrage that you got with your phone.
If there is a new version of the diamond, with more memory or an external card slot.. someone will definitely share that info.
Unless that's what you were doing, I don't think that moaning is going to get you anywhere or achieve anything.
An exercise in futility.
If you just want to share your opinion, there are plenty of places where you can do so.
Doing it on a forum where people are looking for solutions, not exactly the best approach.
Just my view

Not really - there are workable solutions, for example someone mentioned ORB.. plus I'd like to get into dialogue about the possibility of adaptors..
I wont be dictated to about what I can or cannot talk about.
I mean a thread dedicated to wallpaper on the diamond (Which is near 5 pages long) is more redundant than this one, yet I hear no complaints about that.

Can anyone help me build a computer?

I do not know much when it comes to hardware of computers but im looking at this one
http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=200543755584&ssPageName=STRK:MEWAX:IT
Just go to the bottom of the page and change around the hardware then click built my configuration.
Thanks
Also i will not be doing much gaming but i would like atleast a quadcore 3.0ghz processor and i already have a decent graphics card so i will not need that. Im trying to spend around 500-550$ if possible
You do realize you need an OS, right?
And please, if you want to put everything together yourself then just go to a computer shop, tell them what you want and they'll do it. I've seen many people come with fried boards come to the shop I work at because they tried to do it themselves.

i added a video card for ya if u wanna play games ...
cheaper housing [same power supply tho]
smaller hdd [if u cant fit on 500 , u wont fit on 1000 , trust me on that , its all matter of cleaning up after urself]
newer/better mobo [direct performance boost]
stripped from dvd writer [my comp hasn't seen a dvd drive for 5 years , nor did i ever need one]
not a bad deal i got ya there if u consider i added a $140 video card , a better mobo and came out only $96 more

Some opinions?

What are your opinions on a laptop/computer? It won't be long before I'm looking into getting one. I definitely want something pretty powerful that can handle things like extensive video editing and HD capability. I will be using it for school as well so probably a laptop. I think a MacBook pro would be nice but I'm really REALLY anti-apple. I think its a nice computer but I don't like the cliche thing. I always just see people walking around with iPhones and I know how much better my android device is and just laugh in my head at how ignorant these people are but how about a MacBook pro? Or any other suggestions? I don't know a whole lot about computers so anything is appreciated, thanks.

Don't go for Alienware unless it is the 11" one. The others are REALLY huge and heavy. They are meant for desktop replacements instead. Settle on a budget first, because laptops are highly commoditized.

I think he has more than that (he was thinking about buying a mac )
Haha well I don't have that much at the moment, but I really am just in a state of confusion. I'm really leaning to the MacBook and am looking to probably just make a partition for windows 7 ultimate in case, so that way I have the best of both worlds. I mean the hardware is really nice on the Mac and I hear apple customer service is great. I am torn between the dual core and the quad core though and I'd like to hear what you all think. The dual core is clicked at a higher speed but the quad core has a designated video/graphics card what should I go for?

Just recently finished building my rig. I went with the new Sandy Bridge CPUs. Got a decent GFX, PSU, etc. Love it.

VMWare?

Basically I want to try MacOSX and I know about VMWare so I just wanna ask what do I need to be able to 'emulate' MacOSX on my XP SP3 PC? The specs of the PC are horrific (2ghz single core, 1gb of RAM) I don't know any of the other specs or what processor etc. it is lol. So can somebody give me some links on how to get VMWare set up and where to get a copy of MacOSX ('legally' for free )
I tried searching the web but I just got confused.
I'm thinking of getting a new iMac but I'm not too sure so I want to try MacOSX before I spend mucho moniez. Thanks.
Someone correct me if I'm wrong, You won't be able to use a VM on 1 core?
Also... I doubt there is a working kernel for yourCPU, Just a lucky guess though

Lol I was thinking that with my ****ty hardware it mightn't be possible. Lets just hope.
wmware should be able to run on single core i know virtualbox can so maybe try that
if you have an intel core 2 then most macs have that in so it would be compatible cpu wise although i think vmware emulates a different type of cpu so it may not work the ram may be problematic

Which? The AMD Athlon? I hope I can atleast run MacOSX just to give me an idea of what it's like. There aren't many Apple stores in Ireland either for whatever reason so I can't go in to an Apple store and check them out.
AFAIK the new iMac uses Intel's new Sandybridge CPU btw.
