Re: [Audyssey] gaming computers
Well I have used laptops and desktops with internal cards with nvda and had no issue. I do have the confidence of the extra use of high quality synths with supernova or nvda when I run say winamp, eudora and a couple other things. However I have noticed even with the extra resources, that say with sound cards external or otherwise that from time to time even when running normmally the system may still stutter and crash but then in some cases it will run quite fast.

Re: [Audyssey] gaming computers
graphic recognition? Oh you mean doing OCR with your screen reader? if so I didn't think of that. then maybe I do want one of those nice powerful machines. as it stands I have an hp elitebook 6930p with a 260gig hard drive windows8.1 and 6gigs of ram. it originally had windows7 on it but I put windows8.1 on it and updated the bios as well.

Re: [Audyssey] gaming computers
Not only that but just the graphic recognition it has to do with programs. The accessibility is built into the op, but most screen readers hardly use it. that is what makes other programs work out of the box without the use of scripts.

Re: [Audyssey] gaming computers
Try looking around at Walmart you can get I3 or 5 for under 700. they are pretty affordable now with custom boxes being the high end dollar taker. but if you was real serious about gaming you can't touch one of them boxes for less then 5 to 10 grand. That is also why Apples are high because they don't punk junk parts in like most. At 10:37 AM 10/7/2014, you wrote: 3 ghz? Is that a p4?

Re: [Audyssey] gaming computers
newegg sells them for around $500. since I can't get to a walmart very easily I'll go with newegg when it comes time for a new computer. On 10/7/2014 2:47 PM, tim wrote: Try looking around at Walmart you can get I3 or 5 for under 700. they are pretty affordable now with custom boxes being the high end dollar taker. but if you was real serious about gaming you can't touch one of them boxes for less then 5 to 10 grand.

Re: [Audyssey] gaming computers
You might want to take a really close look at that before you buy it, and make absolutely certain you make a backup of it as soon as you get it.

Re: [Audyssey] gaming computers
if you go to newegg.com and type in windows7 desktop hit enter then go and hit enter on the all desktops link. then on the next page check the entertainment computers checkbox and then go down the resulting list you'll see pretty many good machines on there. they're used but recertified.

Re: [Audyssey] gaming computers
everyone out at lions world in my desktop support class recommended newegg for computers and parts and things. and since I don't have a job I have to buy used or refurbished. this laptop here that I'm writing on is refurbished from blaire technology group. and it works great. well for my needs it does. I don't have to buy a new computer right away though because one of my friends is sending me one he no longer uses. its about two years old. barely even used. its a dell desktop quad core 8gigs ram 1tb hard drive. I've used laptops for the past 6 years and they work fine I can't see to play graphically intense games and do video editing and things. but I did put 4 more gigs of ram in this laptop and I only go above 2 gigs when running the occasional virtual machine.

Re: [Audyssey] gaming computers
I did a lot of research before buying my refurbished laptop. I bought a few kept one or two and sold others to various people after customising them. they all work very good. and this refurbished hp has been through 3 or 4 operating systems since I got it and shows no signs of quitting.

Re: [Audyssey] gaming computers
I like my refurbished hp better than the macbook pro that the office of vocational rehabilitation bought for me 4 or 5 years ago. its faster I think. of course that could be because I put 4 more gigs of ram into it. its over a year old and shows no signs of quitting.

I don't have to buy a new computer right away though because one of my friends is sending me one he no longer uses. its about two years old. barely even used. its a dell desktop quad core 8gigs ram 1tb hard drive. I've used laptops for the past 6 years and they work fine I can't see to play graphically intense games and do video editing and things. but I did put 4 more gigs of ram in this laptop and I only go above 2 gigs when running the occasional virtual machine.
