=NukeBlaze= Posted June 27, 2006 Share Posted June 27, 2006 Umm...Win XP I assume? Right click on my computer, click hardware tab, and click the device manager button. Look for what is in yellow. The best way to find out what driver you need is to find your serial/model number for your laptop, and jump onto the manufature homepage. If that does not work, I recccomend looking at the in-deph specs manufature provide and going on a download spree. For example, some ahtlon 64 laptops use an NFORCE3 chipset, and maufuture don't usually link to it in thier download section....especially HP and Compaq. Post your model number if you need help hunting for them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

=NukeBlaze= Posted June 28, 2006 Share Posted June 28, 2006 A Level? You guys are going to have to explain this to me, as I always have been curious. In the US the school system consisits of k-12 Grades. Elementry School : kindergarden, 1, 2 , 3, 4 Middle School: 5, 6 ,7, 8 High School : 9 , 10 , 11, 12 There is a profecientcy exam for each school level that is given by the goverment, and a few intermitten ones...But as far as tests go it is mostly up to the teachers to give thier own final/tests per class. For the highschool to colledge/university transition, you take a general college exam in high school...either the general SAT or ACT and recive a score. Thier are a few specialized exams you can also take, but are less common. Some universities have thier own exams which they administrate for placement and other factors, but that is pretty much it.

Twozzok Posted June 28, 2006 Share Posted June 28, 2006 We have Primary School: Reception, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6. High School:7, 8, 9, 10, 11 College/6th Form: 12, 13. You have SATS in years, 3, 6, 9. Then GCSE's which will basically determine if you get into the course you want for college in year 11. Though you study specifically for them in year 10 aswell.

Shorty Posted June 29, 2006 Share Posted June 29, 2006 We have Primary School: Reception, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6. Ur, I had a year 1 after reception, which would make sense as primary school was ages 4-11 Back on the subject you can find out your video card by going to device manager start control panel system hardware device manager display adapters Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
