Did you buy a new computer and now the games run slowly!? How is that possible; the vendor said it was the fastest model available! Does this sound familiar to you? Read on!How to Boost Your Computer! (part 1)
Most people are unaware of this but when you buy a new computer the video card drivers are not installed! Simply put: the program that communicates between the computer and the screen is not present on the hard drive, and your computer is using the default manufacturer settings to display pictures, and that is usually very slow.
Luckily you can update this driver program for free and boost the overall speed of your computer!
First find the manufacturer of your video card, this can be found in the display properties, or in the manual of your computer. Then find the manufacturer web site and go to the drivers area:
On the PC it's most likely to be one of the following manufacturers :
ATI: http://www.atitech.com/support/driver.html
NVIDIA: http://www.nvidia.com/content/drivers/drivers.asp
Intel: http://www.intel.com/products/browse/chipsets.htm?iid=Homepage+Find_chipsets
Dell Computer: http://support.ap.dell.com/ap/en/filelib/
HP or Compaq computers: http://welcome.hp.com/country/us/en/support.html
(once you have entered your computer reference, select the 'Software & Driver downloads section and locate the video drivers)
Can't find your driver? contact us and we'll try to help you.
Don't let the driver drive you nuts!

How to Boost Your Computer! (part 2)
A common perceived notion is that the computer processor's Mhz or Ghz is directly related to computer speed.
| In games, it is not the main factor. In fact, the video card of your computer is what makes a game run fast and smooth. In other words, a game can run faster on a 300 Mhz machine with a good video card, than a 3 Ghz machine with a non-accelerated video card. Luckily, nowadays video cards are becoming very affordable, which means you can boost the overall speed of your computer without having to replace the entire machine. Your computer just needs to have its video card replaced to get a new life! |
"Ok but what do I need to ask my computer dealer?"
You need to ask him/her for an upgrade of your video card with a video card that is openGL and Direct3D accelerated. The more memory on board the better. 16 MB is usually very good. The most popular cards are NVIDIA (TNT2, GForce 2 and higher) and ATI (Radeon and higher).
"How much does it cost?"
Depending on the model, prices may vary between $30 US (for a Radeon7x00 or Gforce2) and several hundred dollars for the high-end video card. A $30-$50 video card is more than enough for an excellent gaming experience. Expensive video cards are usually reserved for hardcore gamers who like to play first person shooter games or flight simulators.

Through the use of new development environments, combined with Web services and an emerging set of collaboration technologies, Web applications are matching and threatening to exceed the capabilities of their shrink-wrapped antecedents. It's safe to say that the days of classical offline desktop applications and simple informational Web sites are rapidly drawing to a close. It's also safe to say that while the next generation of Web applications will combine both the richness of the desktop and the networking of the Internet, there are still a number of concerns that need to be addressed around security, transition costs, and other factors.
For this report, InformationWeek Analytics polled both technical decision makers (TDMs) and business decision makers (BDMs) for their interest in, and concerns about, next-generation Web applications in three areas: advancements in user interface; the integration of business intelligence and event processing with collaboration tools; and their interest in hosting some application functions in the cloud. One result of the survey that shouldn't surprise anyone is the popularity of "eye candy" rich Internet applications (RIAs) with both TDMs and BDMs.The consensus of our survey of 415 business technology professionals indicates that RIAs are widely accepted and are now the technology of choice for many new Web development projects.
Although not as far along as most corporate RIA initiatives, there is similar interest in the use of combined business intelligence, event processing, and collaboration tools to kick off complex tasks, such as bringing appropriate teams together to make critical decisions and alerting stake holders of key developments.While there is some interest among smaller companies and startups for hosting applications in the cloud—as a way to add robust IT infrastructure at minimal cost, for example—enterprise decision makers by and large are much more skeptical about cloud computing, citing issues such as security, governance, privacy, and control.That skepticism is reflected in the 50% negative response from both TDMs and BDMs who said they do not expect to host any application functions in the cloud over the next 24 months.
This point was made more vociferously by Scott Wentzka, a senior architect with Paisley Consulting, a Minnesota provider of governance, risk, and compliance software. "Cloud computing is an over-priced fraud," says Wentzka. "If you actually figure out the real TCO, it's about four times as expensive as internally hosted applications. On the other hand, RIA technology is the real deal—faster, more interactive, and less painful to develop than the ancient kludge that is HTML and JavaScript."
