Points and software

Guys,


Summer is almost here and its time to add some cool stuff to those computers. Time to trade in your points for something. 200 points is the magic number.


For 10 more points, give me some options on what you want. Do some research on the kinds of things you want to add to your computer and what the requirements are for that particular software. Before we order it, we need to be sure that it will work.


Tyler, the thing you are asking about is the LINE6 GUITAR PORT. The link to the website is here. http://line6.com/guitarport/


Go there, find the requirements and post them. Then tell me if your computer is compatible with all of those requirements.


Noah and Isaiah, there are a lot of cool things available - video game creators, surround sound systems, lightup video game keyboards, movie making software, . Try to keep the price to around $100 and then figure out how to get more points...

Is my computer slow?

Good Question... Let's figure it out.

First, let's run 3 more experimental speed tests.

1 - Make sure nothing else is connected to the internet - Neflix, Xbox, other computers and run the speed test again on your computer.

2 - Disconnect your computer from the internet. Connect your mom's computer to the internet and run the speed test on her computer.

3 - Turn everything back on. Connect Netflix, Connect xbox, Connect Isaiah's computer if he's home and have him run Warcraft or something. Now run the speed test on your computer.


It's probably not your computer. It's probably your internet connection, but this will tell us for sure.

Test 1 will give us a good read on your computer and a baseline for internet speed.
Test 2 will tell us if the performance of your computer and your mom's computer are different. Hers has a different type of processor, different memory, etc. and there might be some noticeable differences.
Test 3 is to see how much bandwidth your computer can get to when everything else is running.


This is exactly the kind of test that internet troubleshooters do for big companies when people complain that the network is slow. They use more complex (and more expensive) programs to do it, but the methods are the same.

Post your results and we'll analyze them. Extra points when we figure it out.

My Computer Speed Tests. Is computer SLOW?

Speed Test Time

Great work on the temperature monitors!

Now, let's see how fast these things are running.

Go to a speedtest on the internet somewhere. There are a lot of them.

I used these ones

and

10 points if you post a picture from both of these running on your computer.
