:eek:

I cant belive it in our tech we have the exact same computers round the ICT dep ( Which i am in ) but a floor up has a few. Now the ones in our class rooms are **** n normally break or are slow, slow to render etc.

I signed on to one upstairs and holy **** did it fly but how come ? exact same model / spec etc. everything loads in like 1 secs like a click of your finger no pictures still rendering on site's nothing.

Any one know ?
 
The ones downstairs could be running through a busier internet connection? The tech ones are probably better maintained and less cluttered with other people's work?
 
They are all connected the system the same. Each computer set up exactly the same and connected to the server. I don't get it.

What do you mean a corrupt windows install what would enforce that ?
 
Dunno, we get this too, same room, same model pc, same logon, one took about 3 mins to get itself going one closer 15! So I just defragged the very slow one :D There's also a bit of placebo effect on them too, try just telling someone you've done some stuff to speed their pc up and for them to let you know how it goes.
 
Moving into the new one at Easter so i could nick it ;)

What would i not look like walking out with it.

I think the specs is :-

Q6600
3GB Ram
and then networked so like a virtual drive on each.
 
Im going to guess at network traffic, The room you're in thats slow may be sharing a connection with other systems on its way back to the main server. An awesome technician like myself would have done some load balancing ;):p

Also it could be down to software installed, Is there any specialist software on the slower machines that isnt on the machines upstairs.

Another reason could be content filters. Generally content filters are set by user profile, but you can apply them by computers too.

All software is same on each, even tudors are the same.

Yeah, it may be on the same server, but it doesnt mean both classrooms take the same route to the server. Which means anything along the way could be causing trouble. A slow switch somewhere along the way, or just bad route choices causing too much traffic to the router along a certain path.
 
Im not sure as i don't know to much about servers, but ive seen the admins linking up, would i be right in saying ip address = local domain ?
 
I love the placebo effect; I regularly just delete the crap on the desktop (/put it in a folder in the documents if it might actually be important), tidy up the start menu and change the background.

You'd be suprised how many people think it's faster.
