Further computer stuff

[andrewducker]

I've lodged an incident with HP, using slight-legalese to get across the fact that I know of the existence of the Sale of Goods Act (1979). I'll see what they come back with. I was pretty impressed that I got a phone call from an engineer within 5 minutes of submitting the form.

In the meantime I'm using a login on Julie's desktop, which is a quad-core box, and absolutely gorgeous. I want one, badly. But not this week, if it can be helped. I've been looking to see if I can get a dead version of my laptop, to use for spares, but nothing on eBay today.

Thanks for the advice from the various people yesterday - much appreciated.

that's probably the difference between the gfx cards. Onboard with shared mem really do suck with games, even if the processor's got the clout to cope.

This is a 3200HD, which does exactly that. If I go for a new laptop rather than a desktop it'll be with something like the 4570, which has its own graphics capability.
