  • Slow internet speeds when not plugging directly into modem?

    Hi,

    I recently switched my ISP and got an Internet package for 120 Mbps download speed and 10 Mbps upload. The package did not include wireless so I had to buy my own router. When I plug in via ethernet directly to the modem, I get 120/10, but if I plug in via one of the ethernet ports on my router, power line, or connect using wifi, my speeds drop down to about 40-50 Mbps, or 70 when using powerline. The router is an AC1900 router so it should not be bottle necking the wireless speeds. How do I fix this problem?

    Router is the Linksys EA6900.

    Thanks!

    These aren't the greatest specs ever, but would it be able to run Watchdogs? If so, at what setting?

  • How long does it take to get used to a Mechanical Keyboard?

    Hi,

    I'm 14 years old, and recently bought a mechanical keyboard (Das Keyboard Professional Model S Clicky and tactile). It has Cherry MX Blue switches, that I really enjoy. It just that this is my first mechanical keyboard, and for all my life I have been using cheap, membrane keyboards.

    When I first bought the mechanical keyboard, I was frequently making mistakes and typing at a slower 50-60 WPM (I can type about 70-90 on a membrane keyboard). But after a month of using it, I have achieved about 80WPM on average. I am still making some mistakes though.

    Is this normal? Will I get faster on this keyboard compared to a membrane? Or am I just not suited for a mechanical keyboard?

    Thanks,

  • Is 32MB of VRAM realistic?

    Hi,

    I recently got a Lenovo yoga 11s for schoolwork. At school I often use Microsoft office programs, Adobe Photoshop, illustrator, and after effects.

    I read somewhere that the yoga 11s only has 32mb of VRAM, which concerns me because that seems like a puny amount. Is that true and if it is, will it be able to support what I am doing?

    http://shop.lenovo.com/ca/en/laptops/ideapad/yoga/...

    There are two models on the page. They have the same specs, just different colours, if it makes a difference, I got the grey one.

    I have a custom build more powerful rig at home, I just want something convenient and lightweight. Therefore I am not taking suggestions for other laptops instead.

    Thanks

  • Is this laptop okay for my use?

    I recently just purchased a Lenovo yoga 11s. I read somewhere that it has 32mb of VRAM. I'm really concerned about this since I have never dealt with such a small amount. It had HD graphics 4000 running on an i7 3689Y.

    Should I be concerned? Is there really only 32mb or VRAM or was that just a typo?

    Here is the link for the laptop.

    http://shop.lenovo.com/ca/en/laptops/ideapad/yoga/...

    The two laptops listed on the page have the same specs, just different colours.

    I know this laptop might seem underpowered or something and not worth the money, but i am not open to suggestions. This laptop is strictly for school use and I needed something light and portable.

    Ps I use photoshop at school, do some rendering on after effects, word, excel, and PowerPoint. It doesn't matter how long it takes to render or anything, but can I run after effects or photoshop?

  • Which computer will perform better?

    I am not trying to build a computer. The desktop has already been built and has been around for about 2 years. My friend got a laptop in the summer of 2013 and I want to know who's is better in terms of raw performance in games and everything.

    I know I am comparing these two like apples and oranges, but I am just curious of which one is better.

    DESKTOP:

    FX-6300 OC @ 4.75GHz

    GTX 550 Ti OC 20% more

    8GB 1600MHz RAM

    WD Caviar Black 1TB 7200RPM

    Crucial M4 128GB SSD (Boot drive)

    3x 2.5" 5400RPM 250GB laptop drives in RAID 0.

    LAPTOP:

    Intel i7 3630QM 2.4GHz

    GT 650m SLI

    1TB Generic Seagate 5400RPM HDD

    8GB 1600MHz RAM

    Those were all the specs of the Laptop that were listed.

    I might build a new desktop soon, might post a question on that.

    Thanks
