My graphics card is slow to start, but gets better as the computer runs?
I have an NVIDIA 260GTX in my laptop and for some reason it has gotten to be much slower than it used to be. I used to be able to run Crysis on high settings at 30-40 fps right after start up, but that is no longer possible. I'm not really sure what I could have done...I don't have a virus and reinstalling the latest graphics driver did not solve the issue.
The curious thing is that if I allow the game to "build up" maybe play a less graphically intense game first, then my PC will warm up to Crysis, and it will look a lot better.
Specs: Alienware m15x
i7 quad core
4GB 1333mhz ram
260GTX
7200RPM hdd
1 AnswerLaptops & Notebooks1 decade agoHow do I get my laptop from Auburn's presidential scholarship?
I am thinking about attending Auburn for college, and I was awarded they're presidential scholarship that covers tuition, study abroad, and a 1500$ "technology allowance."
My question is how will I go about getting my laptop from them? will I be able to just use the 1500 stipend anywhere I want, or will I have to buy/ lease one of the ones at Auburn?
3 AnswersFinancial Aid1 decade agoI need a wireless adapter for my PC.?
I have tried a linksys USB wireless adapter, and it just wasnt running fast enough. I would sit right next to my desktop and get 4.8 mb/s speeds on my laptop, and not even be able to load the speakeasy page on my desktop.
Any suggestions? It does not have to be usb, in fact im leaning toward a PCI card.
Also, my router is a good distance away from my pc, and i am running wireless G from a secured linksys router.

1 AnswerHomework Help1 decade agoProbably a dumb question but...?
Before I ask, let me say that I'm not an idiot or a redneck or any of that crap. I was wondering if it was legal to have a firearm on a college campus. It would only be a rifle and a shotgun and the only reason I would keep it on campus is because i will go to college out of state, and when I go hunting it would piss me off if I had to drive home just to pick up my guns.
If you do not believe in gun rights, please don't bother answering. I respectfully disagree with you.
