nsane Posted August 20, 2005 Share Posted August 20, 2005 look for something called "apature size" under video settings (doubt it'll be in a OEM BIOS tho) :rolleyes: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Administrator Lite Posted July 30, 2009 Administrator Share Posted July 30, 2009 Its easy to upgrade the drive. It should be possible, but it is often cheaper to buy an external portable hard drive. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Toshiro Posted July 30, 2009 Share Posted July 30, 2009 Its easy to upgrade the drive. It should be possible, but it is often cheaper to buy an external portable hard drive.+ If i'm right and you're talking about a notebook, it's better to get a external one. A bigger HDD could make more heat + takes sometimes more space.. This would make the airflow in your Notebook worse then before.. >>Overheating >> melting>> Global warming :P Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Administrator Lite Posted July 30, 2009 Administrator Share Posted July 30, 2009 A bigger HDD could make more heat + takes sometimes more spaceThis is pretty inaccurate information. A 2.5" laptop hard drive (no matter the storage capacity) is always 2.5"! Heat between different storage capacities in the same series of drive is usually negligible. The heat is generated (on the whole) by the amount of power consumed by the drive and its usually pretty similar.I do recommend the external drive non the less. For the simple reason of "not keeping all your eggs in one basket". For example for backup purposes or in case of disk failure. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
porkchopsandwich Posted July 31, 2009 Share Posted July 31, 2009 That why i bought a new comp. dropped my external one time (it was a good one too) and now its a paper weight. i could of just bought a new external but i was so pissed off that i had to one-up it. most likely gonna buy a new external cause the new lap only has 160. Do bigger HD make computers run faster or is it just storage space? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Administrator Lite Posted July 31, 2009 Administrator Share Posted July 31, 2009 Extra storage space on the whole. But the fact you are using two separate storage mediums should increase the speed negligibly when you are accessing files from both drives. Additionally if you get a faster drive for your laptop (internal) this normally will increase the speed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

porkchopsandwich Posted July 31, 2009 Share Posted July 31, 2009 i know what a Necromancer is but i dont see how it ties in to my laptop? or how it will make my computer run faster. perhaps could you elaborate...... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A external HDD is perfect for that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
