Laptop Clubhouse!

[DanishDevil]

I just want to be able to listen to music without waking my girl up and without having to break out my Zune. Every other laptop I've had and used and seen doesn't have this problem, and they have all been built after the year 2000 LOL.

Here's Prototype

 

[kurosagi01]

wow nice mods panther

 

[HalfAHertz]

By the way does anyone know how to softmod the professional ati drivers to work on a HD3650 mobility?

 

[kurosagi01]

what you mean by soft mod halfahertz??

 

[HalfAHertz]

what you mean by soft mod halfahertz??

You mod the professional drivers for the fireGL/firePRO series to work on the desktop/mobile cards, to gain some software optimizations. I did that before on my old Radeon 9500, but can't seem to find a way to do it for my lappy card.

*Update: Lol that was surprisingly easy. I downloaded the latest professional drivers from the ati website for the firegl v3600(hd3650 equivalent) and used the mobility modder from driver heaven, installed the drivers without CCC(use ati tray tools) and it worked. Now when I select hardware acceleration under Autocad, I can choose all the graphic tweaks and Revit families don't dissapear when rotating big projects

 

[kurosagi01]

lol thats pretty nice dude can someone tell me why my ping on css is like 60+ on wireless lan ¬¬ do i need update my wireless drivers or something

 

[crazy pyro]

What's it over LAN? I've pretty much been stuck with Wireless for the last 2 years as my dad wants no cables going out of the office (will be producing the staple gun soon I think). 60 ping isn't any issue if we're being honest anyway.

 

[HalfAHertz]

Ping your rooter and tell us what's your ping. If it's more than 10-15, then you could try playing with the router firmware/settings or your wLAN drivers

 

[kurosagi01]

we was playing by adhoc,one of my friend creates a adhoc for us to join their connection then somebody host..but still we was sitting right next to each others and my ping is still 60+ wouldn't it be same ping as them which is 5

[DanishDevil]

Looks like somebody got a piece of plexiglass, cut a few holes in it, threw on fans, some case feet, and called it a day. I wouldn't bother.

those 3 80mm fans are gonna make a hell of a lotta noise when you plug them in. but if your good with a soldering iron you can add a little switch to control them.

Im not too bad with a soldering iron myself. I took most of the practical classes while back at school, Design Tech & later on Electronics when i was in college while doing my I.T Tech studies.
