(<span style="font-weight: bold;">Windows XP</span>)<br /><br />Since defragging the disk won't do much to improve Windows XP performance, here are 23 suggestions that will. Each can enhance the performance and reliability of your customers' PCs. Best of all, most of them will cost you nothing.<br /><br /><span style="font-weight: bold;">1.) To decrease a system's boot time and increase system performance, </span>use the money you save by not buying defragmentation software -- the built-in Windows defragmenter works just fine -- and instead equip the computer with an Ultra-133 or Serial ATA <a href="http://computer-infocentre.blogspot.com/2008/05/hard-disk-guide.html"><span style="color: rgb(0, 102, 0);">hard drive</span></a> with 8-MB cache buffer.<br /><br /><span style="font-weight: bold;">2.) If a PC has less than 512 MB of RAM, add more </span><a style="font-weight: bold;" href="http://computer-infocentre.blogspot.com/2008/10/ddr-memory.html"><span style="color: rgb(0, 102, 0);">memory</span></a><span style="font-weight: bold;">.</span> This is a relatively inexpensive and easy upgrade that can dramatically improve system performance.<br /><br /><span style="font-weight: bold;">3.) Ensure that Windows XP is utilizing the NTFS file system.</span> If you're not sure, here's how to check: First, double-click the My Computer icon, right-click on the C: Drive, then select Properties. Next, .. examine the File System type; if it says FAT32, then back-up any important data. Next, click Start, click Run, type CMD, and then click OK. At the prompt, type CONVERT C: /FS:NTFS and press the Enter key. This process may take a while; it's important that the computer be uninterrupted and <a href="http://info-antivirus.blogspot.com/"target=_"blank"><span style="color: rgb(0, 102, 0);">virus-free</span></a>. The file system used by the bootable drive will be either FAT32 or NTFS. I highly recommend NTFS for its superior security, reliability, and efficiency with larger disk drives.<br /></div><span class="fullpost"><br /><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-weight: bold;">4.) Disable file indexing.</span> The indexing service extracts information from documents and other files on the hard drive and creates a "searchable keyword index." As you can imagine, this process can be quite taxing on any system.<br /><br />The idea is that the user can search for a word, phrase, or property inside a document, should they have hundreds or thousands of documents and not know the file name of the document they want. Windows XP's built-in search functionality can still perform these kinds of searches without the Indexing service. It just takes longer. The OS has to open each file at the time of the request to help find what the user is looking for.<br /><br />Most people never need this feature of search. Those who do are typically in a large corporate environment where thousands of documents are located on at least one server. But if you're a typical system builder, most of your clients are small and medium businesses. And if your clients have no need for this search feature, I recommend disabling it.<br /><br />Here's how: First, double-click the My Computer icon. Next, right-click on the C: Drive, then select Properties. Uncheck "Allow Indexing Service to index this disk for fast file searching." Next, apply changes to "C: subfolders and files," and click OK. If a warning or error message appears (such as "Access is denied"), click the Ignore All button.<br /><br /><span style="font-weight: bold;">5.) Update the PC's video and motherboard chipset drivers.</span> Also, update and configure the BIOS. For more information on how to configure your BIOS properly, see this article on my site.<br /><br /><span style="font-weight: bold;">6.) Empty the Windows Prefetch folder every three months or so. </span>Windows XP can "prefetch" portions of data and applications that are used frequently. This makes processes appear to load faster when called upon by the user. That's fine. But over time, the prefetch folder may become overloaded with references to files and applications no longer in use. When that happens, Windows XP is wasting time, and slowing system performance, by pre-loading them. Nothing critical is in this folder, and the entire contents are safe to delete.<br /><br /><span style="font-weight: bold;">7.) Once a month, run a disk cleanup. </span>Here's how: Double-click the My Computer icon. Then right-click on the C: drive and select Properties. Click the Disk Cleanup button -- it's just to the right of the Capacity pie graph -- and delete all temporary files.<br /><br /><span style="font-weight: bold;">8.) In your Device Manager</span>, double-click on the IDE ATA/ATAPI Controllers device, and ensure that DMA is enabled for each drive you have connected to the Primary and Secondary controller. Do this by double-clicking on Primary IDE Channel. Then click the Advanced Settings tab. Ensure the Transfer Mode is set to "DMA if available" for both Device 0 and Device 1. Then repeat this process with the Secondary IDE Channel.<br /><br /><span style="font-weight: bold;">9.) Upgrade the cabling.</span> As hard-drive technology improves, the cabling requirements to achieve these performance boosts have become more stringent. Be sure to use 80-wire Ultra-133 cables on all of your IDE devices with the connectors properly assigned to the matching Master/Slave/Motherboard sockets. A single device must be at the end of the cable; connecting a single drive to the middle connector on a ribbon cable will cause signaling problems. With Ultra DMA hard drives, these signaling problems will prevent the drive from performing at its maximum potential. Also, because these cables inherently support "cable select," the location of each drive on the cable is important. For these reasons, the cable is designed so drive positioning is explicitly clear.<br /><br /><span style="font-weight: bold;">10.) Remove all spyware from the computer.</span> Use free programs such as AdAware by Lavasoft or SpyBot Search & Destroy. Once these programs are installed, be sure to check for and download any updates before starting your search. Anything either program finds can be safely removed. Any free software that requires spyware to run will no longer function once the spyware portion has been removed; if your customer really wants the program even though it contains spyware, simply reinstall it. For more information on removing Spyware visit this Web Pro News page.<br /><br /><span style="font-weight: bold;">11.) Remove any unnecessary programs and/or items from Windows Startup routine using the MSCONFIG utility.</span> Here's how: First, click Start, click Run, type MSCONFIG, and click OK. Click the StartUp tab, then uncheck any items you don't want to start when Windows starts. Unsure what some items are? Visit the WinTasks Process Library. It contains known system processes, applications, as well as spyware references and explanations. Or quickly identify them by searching for the filenames using Google or another Web search engine.<br /><br /><span style="font-weight: bold;">12.) Remove any unnecessary or unused programs,</span> from the Add/Remove Programs section of the Control Panel.<br /><br /><span style="font-weight: bold;">13.) Turn off any and all unnecessary animations, and disable active desktop. </span>In fact, for optimal performance, turn off all animations. Windows XP offers many different settings in this area. Here's how to do it: First click on the System icon in the Control Panel. Next, click on the Advanced tab. Select the Settings button located under Performance. Feel free to play around with the options offered here, as nothing you can change will alter the reliability of the computer -- only its responsiveness.<br /><br /><span style="font-weight: bold;">14.) If your customer is an advanced user who is comfortable editing their registry,</span> try some of the performance registry tweaks offered at Tweak XP.<br /><br /><span style="font-weight: bold;">15.) Visit Microsoft's Windows update site regularly,</span> and download all updates labeled Critical. Download any optional updates at your discretion.<br /><br /><span style="font-weight: bold;">16.) Update the customer's anti-virus software on a weekly, even daily, basis. </span>Make sure they have only one anti-virus software package installed. Mixing anti-virus software is a sure way to spell disaster for performance and reliability.<br /><br /><span style="font-weight: bold;">17.) Make sure the customer has fewer than 500 type fonts installed on their computer. </span>The more fonts they have, the slower the system will become. While Windows XP handles fonts much more efficiently than did the previous versions of Windows, too many fonts -- that is, anything over 500 -- will noticeably tax the system.<br /><br /><span style="font-weight: bold;">18.) Do not partition the hard drive.</span> Windows XP's NTFS file system runs more efficiently on one large partition. The data is no safer on a separate partition, and a reformat is never necessary to reinstall an operating system. The same excuses people offer for using partitions apply to using a folder instead. For example, instead of putting all your data on the D: drive, put it in a folder called "D drive." You'll achieve the same organizational benefits that a separate partition offers, but without the degradation in system performance. Also, your free space won't be limited by the size of the partition; instead, it will be limited by the size of the entire hard drive. This means you won't need to resize any partitions, ever. That task can be time-consuming and also can result in lost data.<br /><br /><span style="font-weight: bold;">19.) Check the system's RAM to ensure it is operating properly.</span> I recommend using a free program called MemTest86. The download will make a bootable CD or diskette (your choice), which will run 10 extensive tests on the PC's memory automatically after you boot to the disk you created. Allow all tests to run until at least three passes of the 10 tests are completed. If the program encounters any errors, turn off and unplug the computer, remove a stick of memory (assuming you have more than one), and run the test again. Remember, bad memory cannot be repaired, but only replaced.<br /><br /><span style="font-weight: bold;">20.) If the PC has a </span><a style="font-weight: bold;" href="http://computer-infocentre.blogspot.com/2008/06/dvd-repair-scratched-dvds-and.html"><span style="color: rgb(0, 102, 0);">CD or DVD</span></a><span style="font-weight: bold;"> recorder,</span> check the drive manufacturer's Web site for updated firmware. In some cases you'll be able to upgrade the recorder to a faster speed. Best of all, it's free.<br /><br /><span style="font-weight: bold;">21.) Disable unnecessary services.</span> Windows XP loads a lot of services that your customer most likely does not need. To determine which services you can disable for your client, visit the Black Viper site for Windows XP configurations.<br /><br /><span style="font-weight: bold;">22.) If you're sick of a single Windows Explorer window crashing and then taking the rest of your OS down with it,</span> then follow this tip: open My Computer, click on Tools, then Folder Options. Now click on the View tab. Scroll down to "Launch folder windows in a separate process," and enable this option. You'll have to reboot your machine for this option to take effect.<br /><br /><span style="font-weight: bold;">23.) At least once a year, open the computer's cases and blow out all the dust and debris. </span>While you're in there, check that all the fans are turning properly. Also inspect the motherboard capacitors for bulging or leaks.

If you still want to defrag a disk, remember that the main benefit will be to make your data more retrievable in the event of a crashed drive.<br /><br /><div style="text-align: right;"><span style="font-size:85%;"><span style="font-style: italic;">Author: Rathish kumar</span></span><br /><br /></div><span style="font-style: italic; font-weight: bold;">The next article, let's talk about Tips and Tricks on Windows Vista..<br /><br /></span></div></span>Johnmansdahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/05655100802290521660noreply@blogger.com8tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7291437990568860363.post-31784210523995426332009-05-21T23:24:00.000-07:002009-05-21T23:53:54.849-07:00Troubleshooting and Maintaining Your Laptop Battery<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgEGlyar8wNntC5od-kju7jN9wgEp43XWJEFDoYuvivhUDWZHk-I0P3G7RPGrUoAVagptiakZp8IhL7XUvLbLy_2izkcs_orM3JNoYqQgHOtYGWME2I6y9VUrNSIqCAjk0RSteadmck941F/s1600-h/Laptop+Battery.jpg"><img style="margin: 0pt 10px 10px 0pt; float: left; cursor: pointer; width: 216px; height: 161px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgEGlyar8wNntC5od-kju7jN9wgEp43XWJEFDoYuvivhUDWZHk-I0P3G7RPGrUoAVagptiakZp8IhL7XUvLbLy_2izkcs_orM3JNoYqQgHOtYGWME2I6y9VUrNSIqCAjk0RSteadmck941F/s320/Laptop+Battery.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5338535492708783698" border="0" /></a><span style="font-weight: bold;">Troubleshooting and Maintaining Your Laptop Battery</span><br /><div style="text-align: justify;"><br />The actual life of a laptop battery will vary with <a style="font-weight: bold; color: rgb(0, 102, 0);" href="http://computer-infocentre.blogspot.com/">computer</a> usage habits. For most users, it is not uncommon to experience differences in battery life, of anywhere from just under one hour to over two hours in each sitting. If you are experiencing shorter battery life cycles, say 10 to 15 minutes, it may not yet be time to order that new battery.<br /><br />There are several factors to take into consideration when determining if the time has come to replace your battery. <a style="font-weight: bold; color: rgb(0, 102, 0);" href="http://computer-infocentre.blogspot.com/2008/04/computer-informations.html">This information</a> may also apply to that new battery that you have recently purchased, that has been giving you fits. The two primary things to consider when troubleshooting battery problems is Usage Habits and Battery Memory. We will cover both in their complexities in just a moment, but first, let us take a look at what you should expect from your battery's life cycle.<br /><br />NiMH batteries usually last 1.5 to 2.5 hours.<br />LiION batteries usually last 2.0 to 3.0 hours.<br /></div><span class="fullpost"><br /><div style="text-align: justify;"><span class="fullpost">These are average results and the results will vary greatly depending on your system's conservation settings, the temperature of the room and the climate that you are operating your computer</span> <span class="fullpost">in. As a general rule, your Lithium Ion battery will last much longer than your standard Nickel Metal Hydride battery.</span><br /><br /><span class="fullpost">Now let's take a look at the various usage habits to consider when troubleshooting your laptop's battery. These processes are very similar to the way that your portable stereo uses batteries ... just think how much faster your stereo dell Inspiron 9400 battery eats batteries when you are playing the CD or the tape deck, as opposed to when you are just playing the radio.</span><br /><br /><span class="fullpost">The more you use physical devices --- which require more electricity to operate --- the more of the battery's power you can expect to consume. The devices that create a larger power drain are the hard drive, the floppy drive and the CD-ROM.</span><br /><br /><span class="fullpost">When the computer dell 310-6321 battery is able to use its physical memory resources to store information, the computer will use less of the battery's power, since the process is mostly electrical in nature. However, when the processes you are using exhaust the physical memory resources available to your system, the system will turn to virtual memory to continue the process at hand. Virtual <a style="font-weight: bold; color: rgb(0, 102, 0);" href="http://computer-infocentre.blogspot.com/2008/10/ddr-memory.html">Memory</a> is designed to extend system memory resources by building a memory swap file on the hard drive, and then transfer needed information between the hard drive and the physical memory as required. Since the hard drive is a electricity hog, the use of virtual memory becomes an electricity hog by proxy.</span><br /><br /><span class="fullpost">Two other processes that engage virtual dell 310-6322 battery memory on your computer are computational programs and the calculation processes used by spreadsheet applications and database programs. Both of these items engage the processor to a greater degree as well, which in itself is a consumer of electricity. Because they both compute and calculate large quantities of information, they will also increase the amount of electricity that your laptop will consume.</span><br /></div><div style="text-align: right;"><span class="fullpost">by: </span><span style="font-size:85%;"><a style="font-style: italic;" title="johnsunvalley" href="http://www.articlesbase.com/authors/johnsunvalley/94714.htm">johnsunvalley</a></span><br /></div><span class="fullpost">More information about laptop visit the website:<br /></span><a rel="nofollow" onclick="javascript:pageTracker._trackPageview('/outgoing/article_exit_link');" href="http://www.ulookstore.com/">Laptop Accessories - Discount Laptop Batteries, Laptop Keyboards, Laptop AC Adapter, LCD </a><a rel="nofollow" onclick="javascript:pageTracker._trackPageview('/outgoing/article_exit_link');" href="http://www.ulookstore.com/" target="_"blank"">Screen Panel </a><br /><br /><a rel="nofollow" onclick="javascript:pageTracker._trackPageview('/outgoing/article_exit_link');" href="http://www.babatek.com/" target="_"blank"">Laptop parts- Laptop Battery, Laptop Keyboards, Laptop AC Adapter, LCD Screen Panel</a><br /><br /></span>Johnmansdahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/05655100802290521660noreply@blogger.com8tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7291437990568860363.post-71906691111178555362009-04-14T16:51:00.000-07:002009-04-14T17:19:25.946-07:00Download 5 Plug-ins in Firefox Browser<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgRC6WACmdaE_pNIAAgbBakwFDISDYMIC1JXSmsez5hyQCWD7KqkOoySFDr3rQKsDVaxfCN-wX3UdChrj7E17eFAVS4MmOP0GVN4GgTwLOk_K7M1F2_1p3EzhtchRoAFQ8FEQx_J-pvJGQ/s320/firefox.jpg"><img style="margin: 0pt 10px 10px 0pt; float: left; cursor: pointer; width: 117px; height: 113px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgRC6WACmdaE_pNIAAgbBakwFDISDYMIC1JXSmsez5hyQCWD7KqkOoySFDr3rQKsDVaxfCN-wX3UdChrj7E17eFAVS4MmOP0GVN4GgTwLOk_K7M1F2_1p3EzhtchRoAFQ8FEQx_J-pvJGQ/s320/firefox.jpg" alt="" border="0" /></a><br /><div style="text-align: justify;"><img src="file:///C:/DOCUME%7E1/LABKOM%7E1/LOCALS%7E1/Temp/moz-screenshot.jpg" alt="" />Firefox browser is one of the most growth in users.

Just go to the windows task manager and then press Ctrl+Alt+Del to go to the performance tab. The vista users should just click start task manager. If the figure indication is zero next to Available in the case of windows and Free in the case of Vista, then it is a must that the RAM has to be upgraded.</span><br /><br /><span class="fullpost">In general, 1 GB RAM is quite sufficient for the users of average Windows XP. The computer that is utilized for running programs like functioning with images and burning of CD’s with Nero Express programme will have a better speed with 1 GB RAM than the 512 MB RAM. But a minimum of 2 GB RAM is required for those users who utilize the computer with the programmers to work with the huge graphic files or digital video. Here again, it is recommended to have 2 GB RAM for a better performance for those computers which are to be upgraded to windows vista.</span><br /><br /><span class="fullpost">There are various types of RAM available in the market. Some of them are DDR, DDR2 and DDR3. Those RAM which are produced with the new technology will definitely have a fast performance. But, in general almost many mother boards do accept only one kind of RAM. Hence, it is a must for the user to check up the manual of the computer regarding the type of the RAM that can be installed and its procedure before finalizing the capacity of the RAM and its type. There are also various online equipment available to get the information handy regarding the usage of the type of the RAM in the computer.</span><br /><br /><span class="fullpost">Many of the computers that are upgraded now use mostly the dual channel memory. This is mainly due to its extreme good performance. Thus the preference now goes to install two numbers of 512 MB RAM than one number of 1 GB RAM. Here again, the documentation has to be checked before taking up the installation work of RAM. It is also safe to buy quality product without minding paying of a little higher cost rather than going for an inferior quality.</span><br /><div style="text-align: right;"><span style=";font-family:arial;font-size:85%;" class="fullpost" ><br />Author: Lesley Lyon</span><br /></div></div></span>Johnmansdahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/05655100802290521660noreply@blogger.com3tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7291437990568860363.post-64085444535278456142009-02-04T02:18:00.000-08:002009-02-20T21:07:28.431-08:00The Most Computer Drivers - Free Download<div style="text-align: justify;">Your <a href="http://computer-infocentre.blogspot.com/"><span style="color: rgb(0, 102, 0);">computer</span></a> is made up of many components.

It is unlike computer software or data that can be frequently changed, modified or erased on a computer. Computer hardware is not frequently changed and so is stored in hardware devices such as read only memory (ROM) where it is not readily changed.</span><br /><br /><span style="font-family: arial;">Most computer hardware is embedded and so is not visible to normal users. Below are the different types of hardware's found in a computer:</span><br /></div><span class="fullpost"><br /><div style="text-align: justify;"><ul><li><span style="font-family: arial;" class="fullpost">Motherboard: It is the central or primary circuit board making up a complex electronic system such as a computer.

No software or program can do anything without proper hardware. Moreover the success or performance of a software program depends completely on the computer hardware being used. So it becomes absolutely important that we buy quality computer hardware.<br /></div><span class="fullpost"><br /><br /><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: arial;" class="fullpost">Now that you have decided to buy computer parts, the next big step is where to buy them from. One tends to always buy from a friendly neighborhood computer hardware dealer. But, with the advent of Internet, one has the convenience of going through literally hundreds of product catalogs and arriving at a purchasing decision.</span><br /><br /><span style="font-family: arial;" class="fullpost">The Internet is a popular place to check out computer hardware sales, but you must be sure that when you buy hardware (or any purchase) over the Internet, the site offers some kind of security to prevent information about you from being stolen.</span><br /><br /><span style="font-family: arial;" class="fullpost">Buying a computer part online is often cheaper than buying it from a dealer, as the overhead costs are reduced. This means that you pay less and get more. This is one advantage that has led people in increasing numbers to shop for parts online, especially from a wholesaler. Since the entire sales channel is literally cut in half, you do not pay for the extra margin, which you would have had you purchased the same from a retailer. There is also the convenience factor of shopping online.</span><br /><br /><span style="font-family: arial;" class="fullpost">In fact, cheap and discount computer hardware is very easy to find online. Whether it is notebook parts, input devices, printer, printer supplies you can find them extensively advertised and sold online.</span><br /><br /><span style="font-family: arial;" class="fullpost">One should always take care to ensure that the parts that one is buying are genuine. What this means is that one should always buy these computer hardware from a reputed online dealer.</span><br /><br /><span style="font-family: arial;" class="fullpost">Author: <span style="font-weight: bold; color: rgb(0, 102, 0);">Mike Nicholson</span></span><br /><span style="font-family: arial;" class="fullpost">Computer hardware UK offers quality computer hardware online:</span><br /><br /></div></span>Johnmansdahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/05655100802290521660noreply@blogger.com2tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7291437990568860363.post-52491471355984589052009-01-21T01:37:00.000-08:002009-01-21T01:48:16.119-08:00Overclock Your Computer<div style="text-align: justify; font-family: arial;">There are two schools of thought as to why you can, or would even want to overclock most CPUs and GPUs. One of them takes the peace, love and understanding route, namely that the manufacturing process is never 100 per cent reliable, so not every chip that rolls off the same production line is born equal. Those with the most lustrous coats and shiniest eyes (bred on Pedigree, presumably) are ready to be high-end components, but those with a bit of a squint and a runny nose may have a funny turn if they exert themselves too much.<br /></div><span class="fullpost"><br /><br /><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: arial;" class="fullpost">Hence, some chips are slapped with a lower official clock-speed and sold for less groats than their beefier brethren. The potential for their intended glory remains, however. Overclocking techniques can unlock at least some of that potential, albeit at the risk of frying the chip completely.</span><br /><br /><span style="font-family: arial;" class="fullpost">The tinfoil hat/Angry Internet Men theory is based on the same concept but chucks in a bit of paranoia. In this scenario, every same-series processor is born equal, but The Man artificially neuters most of them and slaps different badges on what are fundamentally the same chips. Overclocking, then, is simply a way of taking back what's rightfully yours.</span><br /><br /><span style="font-family: arial;" class="fullpost">The truth likely lies somewhere between the two. Mass production certainly makes more financial sense than dozens of separate lines, and it's true that a low-end CPU or GPU can be made to punch far above its weight, but their stability isn't as guaranteed as a chip that's officially able to run at a higher speed. No manufacturer wants to deal with a steady trickle of returned parts, after all. But it does mean home overclocking is almost always productive - and seemingly more so with every new hardware generation.</span><br /><br /><span style="font-family: arial;" class="fullpost">It's also increasingly easy. The earliest overclocking on the 4 to 10MHz 8088-based CPUs of 1983, involved desoldering a clock crystal from the motherboard and replacing it with a third-party one, with only partially successful results. Ouch. Still, the precedent was set: a dedicated guy-at-home could exceed his chip's official spec. IBM, then very much the top dog of PC land, wasn't entirely happy about this, so follow-up hardware included hard-wired overclock blocks.</span><br /><br /><span style="font-family: arial;" class="fullpost">More soldering this time of a BIOS chip, managed to get around this. By 1986 IBM's stranglehold had been broken, resulting in a raft of 'clone' systems - and a wealth of choice. Intel's 286 and 386 processors became the de facto standard chips, and bus speed and voltage controls began to shift from physical switches and jumpers to BIOS options and settings.</span><br /><br /><span style="font-family: arial;" class="fullpost">It was the 486 that really changed everything however. It's telling that this was the chip most prevalent during the era that birthed the first-person shooter as we know it: 1993's Doom very much popularized performance PCs for gaming driving system upgrades in the same way a Half-Life 2 or Crysis does these days. At the same time, the 486 introduced two concepts absolutely crucial to overclocking both then and now. Firstly, it popularized split product lines; no longer was it a matter of buying simply a processor, but rather which processor. The 486SX and DX offered some serious performance differential, and notably the SXs were hobbled/failed DXs, giving rise to the ongoing practice of assigning different speeds and names to what were the same chip.</span><br /><span style="font-family: arial;" class="fullpost"> </span><br /><span style="font-family: arial;" class="fullpost">For a while too, the 25MHz SXes could be overclocked to 33MHz by adjusting a jumper on the motherboard; something less salubrious retailers took full advantage of. Secondly, it introduced the multiplier: performing more clocks per every one mustered by the system's front side bus. The 486's 2x multiplier thus effectively doubled the bus frequency. This was something overclockers would make the best of for successive processor generations - bumping up the multiplier was the simplest and often most effective way of increasing CPU speed. Nowadays (since the Pentium II, in fact), the multiplier is locked to prevent this, save for high-end chips, such as Intel's Extreme Edition series. For a while, there were complicated ways of defeating the multiplier lock: soldering on a PCB for earlier chips, third-party add-ons and the infamous practice of drawing a line onto certain AMD CPUs with a pencil. No CPU manufacturer's likely to make that mistake again.</span><br /><br /><span style="font-family: arial;" class="fullpost">Around this time, RAM overclocking became more common place, as memory speeds were ratified, and with that came more tweaking of the front-side bus to compensate for the locked multipliers. Overclocking shifted further towards the BIOS and away from jumpers, which in turn led to overclocking software.</span><br /><br /><span style="font-family: arial;" class="fullpost">The first was 1998's SoftFSB, which enabled bus-tweaking from within Windows for the first time. With the Pentium III era came aftermarket coolers, as processors now chucked out so much heat that a standard cooling block and fan wasn't enough to cope with an overclocked chip. And so it continued, overclocking largely becoming easier and more common place with each processor generation. This leads us to the Core 2 chips of today, and Intel's current terrifyingly unassailable dominance of the CPU market. Generally drawing as little as half the power of the Pentium 4s that preceded them, most of the range offers a vast amount of overclocking headroom, to the point that a low-end Core 2 Duo can almost go toe-to-toe with the top of the line.</span><br /><br /><span style="font-family: arial;" class="fullpost">So how's it done? Key to processor overclocking is the front side bus (FSB). In the very simplest terms, this is the connection between the CPU and the rest of the PC, and its speed defines the processor's speed to a significant extent. Intel CPUs final speed is the FSB times the multiplier - so if you've got an FSB of 266MHz and a multiplier of 9, your chip will run at approximately 2.4GHz. While the multiplier is usually locked - though some chips let you at least lower it, to conserve power and reduce heat - the FSB isn't. Bump up the FSB and you bump up the chip. In our example taking the bus to 290MHz gives us a 2.6GHz processor. This is no random example, incidentally, it's what we run the Intel Core 2 Quad Q6600 in one of our office test systems at, giving it a healthy 200MHz boost that makes a noticeable difference in CPU-intesive games and hi-def video re-encodes.</span><br /><br /><span style="font-family: arial;" class="fullpost">What stops us from going higher? Not a lot in the case of this particular chip. We're playing it safe for desktop work, cos we're in a particularly sweaty office. When we're playing around with high-end tasks, we can have it running stably at over 33GHz (with an FSB of 370 or so) on a decentish, third-party air cooler. That's more or less trading blows with the best Intel has to offer on a $200 chip. But while going to 280MHz on the FSB took a BIOS tweak, a reboot and Microsoft BOB's your uncle, going much higher does involve more fuss.</span><br /><br /><span style="font-family: arial;" class="fullpost">First up, when our Q6600 is at 33GHz, it's also running at nearly 70°C when under maximum load (and around 50°C when idling). It's perfectly stable, but it could damage it in the long run, and on top of that the fan is making enough noise to wake the deaf pensioner in the next street over. Watercooling, a fancier air-cooler or even just a spot of dust-cleaning will bring the heat down, but there can come a point where that stuff becomes more expensive and hassle than simply buying a better processor.</span><br /><br /><span style="font-family: arial;" class="fullpost">Hurdle the second is the motherboard. Pushing up the FSB doesn't</span> <span style="font-family: arial;" class="fullpost">affect only the CPU, but also the motherboard and, in many cases, the RAM</span> <span style="font-family: arial;" class="fullpost">and PCI-e slot to boot. In our case, we're using a motherboard that supports a monstrously high FSB. When shopping for a motherboard, its max FSB will usually be referred to as four times the actual speed, due to the way the processor actually fetches data. So when we've got the FSB set to 266MHz, in effect that's 1,066MHz. When it's up to 372MHz, we need a motherboard that's happy at nearly 1,500MHz. That simply isn't a given, especially on cheaper boards, so shop carefully.<br /><br />As well as that, if you've got a board with a stingy BIOS, you may not be able to alter RAM and PCI timings independently of the FSB, which can lead to those falling over. Ours does, and for our mighty near-Gigahertz Q6600 overclock, we have to lower the RAM's clock speed a little to compensate for the strain put on it by the raised FSB - we have it sitting pretty at 893MHz. It could comfortably go higher, but the real-world benefits (as opposed to the willy-waving benefits, which are a different matter entirely) would be so miniscule that it's simply not worth placing the extra pressure on the RAM.</span><br /><br /><span style="font-family: arial;" class="fullpost">Similarly, while faster and, most likely, more expensive RAM will cope better at their stock speeds with a massive FSB, the pay-off is often so minor that value RAM, running at a lower clock-speed may well be enough to make your overclocking masterplan hugely successful. Even the best memory will net you something in the region of just a five per cent performance boost - worth having if every little helps, but it's the FSB that makes the big difference. And for that, the motherboard is critical.</span><br /><br /><span style="font-family: arial;" class="fullpost">Thirdly, there's the matter of voltage. The faster your chip runs, the more power it needs to feed it. As the FSB goes up, you'll find your motherboard's North Bridge and your RAM also get hungrier.</span><br /><br /><span style="font-family: arial;" class="fullpost">Unfortunately, your hardware will automatically report its revised power requirements, so trial and miserable error are required to find the sweet spot. Volt tweaking is a fiddly and danger-fraught business.</span><br /><br /><span style="font-family: arial;" class="fullpost">Some overclocking-friendly motherboards can automatically adjust voltages for you, but are understandably conservative about it, so for the really big overclocks you'll need to set them yourself. This needs to be done by the tiniest increments possible, establishing reboot-by-reboot how many volts your embiggened CPU needs; as low as possible, essentially, as firing too many into it can fry it.<br /><br />Establish in advance what your chip's out-of-the-box volts are and, through a mix of common sense and googling, decide on a number you're not going to risk going higher than. We pushed our Q6600 from 13 to 1.4V, which is a fairly big increase as volt modding goes. It's not just a matter of the so-called vCore either - as you go for the big overclocks, you'll find you're having to play with the arcane likes of CPU PLL and FSB termination voltage. Again, so long as you raise stuff in tiny increments the risk of killing your chip, RAM or motherboard is fairly minimal.</span><br /><br /><span style="font-family: arial;" class="fullpost">It's a different matter with AMD processors, which for a while now have had an onboard memory controller, which allows the chip to communicate more directly with the RAM, which in turn means there isn't an FSB as such. Instead, you're overclocking something known as the HyperTransport bus, which is achieved in more or less the same way, but can require lowering the NT's own multiplier to retain stability when you bump the speed. If you've gone for one of the recent AMD Phenom Black Editions, you'll find it comes with the multiplier unlocked, which makes overclocking an easier affair.</span><br /><br /><span style="font-family: arial;" class="fullpost">By contrast, overclocking a graphics card is dead simple. As a more self-contained piece of hardware, there's none of this confusing multiplier or FSB business; just overclocking the card itself, finding the right speeds for both the GPU and the card's onboard memory. Free software - some of it official NVIDIA/ATI driver plug-ins - will do the trick from within Windows, and built-in safety cut-offs and stability tests make it incredibly hard to damage the card, though of course you are going beyond the warranty.<br /><br />It's also grown a little more complicated of late in that you may need to overclock the shader clock as well as the GPU and RAM for the best boosts. In the case of NVIDIA cards, it used to be that this was twinned to the GPU speed, meaning a raise in one had a synchronous effect on the other, but for a little while now they've been able to be altered independently. So if you hit the speed ceiling on the GPU, it may yet be possible to eke more performance out of the card by pushing the shader clock a little further.</span><br /><br /><span style="font-family: arial;" class="fullpost">While the present situation is that you can overclock everything and be pretty confident it'll work, the future of the form is harder to call. One thing seems sure: it's not a dirty little nerdy secret anymore, but an increasingly common practice, most especially with Core 2 chips. There's a vast aftermarket cooler industry to support it, and even cheap motherboards can handle a bit of a free boost. If anything overclocking will become easier, with more and better applications to achieve it within Windows, rather than from the BIOS, and possibly more in the way of automatic volt-modding. But much depends on the future of desktop processing. There's a big war brewing between Intel and NVIDIA as to whether the CPU or the GPU will be the major element in the PC of the near-future.</span><br /><br /><span style="font-family: arial;" class="fullpost">Intel are pushing ray-tracing using a multi-core CPU to render game graphics, while NVIDIA's CUDA enables its recent GeForce cards to perform parallel processing, such as video encoding and in-game physics, far faster than a CPU could manage. If either of these bed in, overclocking will need to take them into account. At the same time, the slow move to ever-more cores potentially reduces the need for conventional overclocking, as raw clock speed continues to be a lesser concern to multi-threading and, in the case of 3D cards, the number of stream processors and texture units. That's hardly going to stop anyone from trying it, of course. Even when its effects are minimal, overclocking's always going to be a sure-fire way of making a system feel like its yours rather than simply a collection of mass-produced parts.</span><br /><br /><span style="font-family: arial;" class="fullpost">Modding the case is one thing, but what makes a PC is its performance. When you've painstakingly tweaked that performance into something that suits your own purposes, and it's become something that feels like you've gone far beyond what you paid for it, the system will feel more unique than all the green neon tubing in the world could ever hope to achieve.</span><br /><br /><span style="font-family: arial;" class="fullpost">Author:</span><br /><span style="font-family: arial;" class="fullpost">Sandra Prior’s </span><br /><br /><span style="font-family: arial;" class="fullpost">website:</span><br /><span style="font-family: arial; color: rgb(0, 102, 0);" class="fullpost">http://usacomputers.rr.nu </span><br /><span style="font-family: arial; color: rgb(0, 102, 0);" class="fullpost">http://sacomputers.rr.nu.</span><br /><br /><a href="http://computer-infocentre.blogspot.com/2008/04/computer-tips-and-tricks.html"><span style="font-family: arial; font-weight: bold; color: rgb(0, 102, 0);" class="fullpost">Other Tips and Tricks</span></a><br /></div><span class="fullpost"><br /></span></span>Johnmansdahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/05655100802290521660noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7291437990568860363.post-56693753615633402682009-01-12T03:03:00.000-08:002009-01-12T03:07:11.951-08:00Driver for Windows Vista<div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: arial;">Windows Vista is Microsoft’s new generation of graphical operating systems used on personal computers. It is designed to host both managed and native applications on a productive and secure platform. Compared to its predecessor Windows XP, Vista has numerous new and reworked features which make it more reliable, secure, and powerful.</span><br /></div><span class="fullpost"><br /><br /><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: arial;" class="fullpost">Windows Vista does not use drivers that the user specifies during installation for the storage device. Since Windows Vista does not support a number of older hardware and software, it generally requires an update or new driver to operate smoothly and efficiently.</span><br /><br /><span style="font-family: arial;" class="fullpost">As far as Window Vista installation is concerned, it can be done with the help of a Windows Vista installation disc. While installing this operating system, the user requires using advanced settings in the Window Vista Setup to specify the storage device driver.</span><br /><br /><span style="font-family: arial;" class="fullpost">The storage driver which the user specifies during Windows Vista installation is loaded during the overall scenario. It only supports the drivers present in its installation disc.</span><br /><br /><span style="font-family: arial;" class="fullpost">Storage device features for the driver that the user specifies while installing the operating system are not available in Windows Vista. It will not show them even though Vista appears to use the .inf file which matches to the storage device driver the user specifies during installation.</span><br /><br /><span style="font-family: arial;" class="fullpost">To resolve the problem, the user requires loading the specific driver again. Outlined below are the required steps to complete the task:</span><br /><br /><br /><span style="font-family: arial;" class="fullpost"> * Insert the Windows Vista Installation Disc into the CD/DVD drive.</span><br /><br /><br /><span style="font-family: arial;" class="fullpost"> * Reboot the computer from the installation disc.</span><br /><br /><br /><span style="font-family: arial;" class="fullpost"> * Insert the media which has the new storage device driver.</span><br /><br /><br /><span style="font-family: arial;" class="fullpost"> * Configure the Windows Vista Setup program using the advanced settings.</span><br /><br /><br /><span style="font-family: arial;" class="fullpost">Note: The user needs to click Load Driver to load the particular driver from the media. This will configure the Windows Vista Setup Program to use the specific driver.</span><br /><br /><span style="font-family: arial;" class="fullpost">Indeed, the drivers implemented for Microsoft Windows XP and Microsoft Windows Server 2003 may lead to technical default in Microsoft Windows Vista operating system. This is why when it comes to reliability of the Windows Operating System, the Microsoft is always the brunt of much criticism.</span><br /></div><div style="text-align: right;"><span class="fullpost" style="font-size:85%;">Author : </span><span style="font-size:85%;">K.P.Pandey</span></div></span>Johnmansdahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/05655100802290521660noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7291437990568860363.post-61330422448391459502008-12-20T02:51:00.000-08:002008-12-20T02:57:31.020-08:00How to Restore Registry from Backup File?<div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: arial;">After we backup registry by creating a file, it is no use doing this without knowing how to restore registry from the backup file.

Antivirus software are everywhere in the internet. Article about them are also common. The problem with having too much of one thing is that you will have a hard time selecting the good from the bad. To come up with a list of possible choices one has to compare antivirus software.</span><br /></div><span class="fullpost"><br /><br /><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: arial;" class="fullpost">Comparing is not easy, considering the number of antivirus to compare. Many website are there to help with comparison but they only compare a few. They focus their comparison to selected antivirus that are already there for many years. How about those antivirus software that have just recently started but may also have the ability to perform well? They don't have the chance to be tested and be proven competitive with the popular ones.<br /><br /></span><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: arial;"> Popularity </span><br /> <br /><span style="font-family: arial;"> There should be a means to compare antivirus software not based on popularity but with their ability to thwart virus attacks. I have read articles that compare antivirus software and they are impressive. They test antivirus software based on how they detect known </span><a id="KonaLink0" target="undefined" class="kLink" style="text-decoration: underline ! important; position: static; font-family: arial;" href="http://www.articlesbase.com/computers-articles/how-to-compare-antivirus-software-654187.html#"><span style="color: rgb(0, 153, 0) ! important; font-family: Verdana,Arial,sans-serif; font-weight: 400; font-size: 13.3333px; position: static;color:#009900;" ><span class="kLink" style="color: rgb(0, 153, 0) ! important; font-weight: 400; font-size: 13.3333px; position: static;">virus</span></span></a><span style="font-family: arial;">. Many antivirus software fared very well. Others did not do well because they were not able to detect new virus. The problem is that they limit their comparison to a chosen few. What about those that are left out? How will they be given a chance?</span><br /> <br /><span style="font-family: arial;"> Who says So?</span><br /> <br /><span style="font-family: arial;"> There are also those who compare antivirus software based on what the company that made them has to say about their product. I don't know if this is reliable enough. There are people who claim to have done something but if you ask them to do it they can't. There are just too many people who tell lies this days. I don't say that all of them are liars but who would know the difference between an honest company from a lying one. They all write pretty good things about their products. Who would say bad things about something they themselves made?</span><br /> <br /><span style="font-family: arial;"> Who's Initiative?</span><br /> <br /><span style="font-family: arial;"> The initiative to compare antivirus software should come from people other that those who made it or have any vested interest about it. The objective of the comparison should be to help people in choosing the right antivirus and not to promote one. People would love to know the truth about antivirus. There are already so much antivirus out there. It's already difficult to know all of them. Another product profile may turn buyers off. What people need is honest, comprehensive, fair and accurate comparison of antivirus software based on performance and ability to protect computers</span><a id="KonaLink1" target="undefined" class="kLink" style="text-decoration: underline ! important; position: static; font-family: arial;" href="http://www.articlesbase.com/computers-articles/how-to-compare-antivirus-software-654187.html#"><span style="color: rgb(0, 153, 0) ! important; font-family: Verdana,Arial,sans-serif; font-weight: 400; font-size: 13.3333px; position: static;color:#009900;" ><span class="kLink" style="color: rgb(0, 153, 0) ! important; font-weight: 400; font-size: 13.3333px; position: static;"></span></span></a><span style="font-family: arial;"> from virus attacks.</span><br /> <br /><span style="font-family: arial;"> It may take a long time before anyone can compare antivirus software comprehensively. That would be very difficult to do considering that there are so much of these products in the market today. There are also many things to consider. A definite plan should be established first before the factual, realistic and unbiased way to compare antivirus software is realized.</span><br /> <br /><div style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-family: arial;"> For now to determine which antivirus software is right for you should visit : </span><a style="font-family: arial;" href="www.info-antivirus.blogspot.com" target="_blank" onclick="javascript:urchinTracker('/outgoing/article_exit_link');">www.info-antivirus.blogspot.com</a><span style="font-family: arial;"> for honest Antivirus Software Reviews<br /></span><div style="text-align: right;"><span style="font-size:85%;"><strong style="font-family: arial;">Author:</strong><span style="font-family: arial;"> Anu</span></span><br /></div></div></div></div></span>Johnmansdahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/05655100802290521660noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7291437990568860363.post-1858965740464219162008-11-13T22:40:00.001-08:002008-11-13T22:51:45.197-08:00Linux Versus BSD<div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family:arial;">If you compare Linux and OpenBSD in their desktop environment features, Linux offers more applications than OpenBSD; but in a server solution BSD systems are known to be robust, more stable and secure, and without so many patches distributors release soon after their new version of Linux slithered to light.</span><br /></div><br /><span class="fullpost"><br /><br /><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-weight: bold;font-family:arial;" class="fullpost" >What is a BSD Unix?</span><br /><br /><span class="fullpost" style="font-family:arial;">BSD family of Unix systems is based upon the source code of real Unix developed in Bell Labs, which was later purchased by the University of California - "Berkeley Software Distribution". The contemporary BSD systems stand on the source code that was released in the beginning of 1990's (Net/2 Lite and 386/BSD release).</span><br /><br /><span class="fullpost" style="font-family:arial;">BSD is behind the philosophy of TCP/IP networking and the Internet thereof; it is a developed Unix system with advanced features. Except for proprietary BSD/OS, the development of which was discontinued, there are currently four BSD systems available: FreeBSD, NetBSD, OpenBSD and Mac OS X, which is derived from FreeBSD. There are also various forks of these, like PC-BSD - a FreeBSD clone, or MirOS, an OpenBSD clone. The intention of such forks is to include various characteristics missing in the above BSD systems, on which these (forks), no matter how well they are designed, only strongly depend. PC-BSD, for example, has more graphical features than FreeBSD, but there are no substantial differences between these two. PC-BSD cannot breathe without FreeBSD; FreeBSD or OpenBSD are independent of one another.</span><br /><br /><span style="font-weight: bold;font-family:arial;" class="fullpost" >What is Linux?</span><br /><br /><span class="fullpost" style="font-family:arial;">Albeit users like to use the term "Linux" for any Linux distro including its packages (Red Hat Linux, Mandrake Linux, etc.), for IT professionals Linux is only the kernel. Linux started in 1991, when its author, Linus Torvals, began his work on a free replacement of Minix. Developers of quite a few Linux system utilities used the source code from BSD, as both these systems started parallelly in about the same time (1992-1993) as Open Source.</span><br /><br /><span class="fullpost" style="font-family:arial;">Today, there are a few, if not many developers of their own kernels/operating systems (FreeDOS, Agnix, ReactOS, Inferno, etc.), but these guys simply missed the right train in the right hour. They did not lose anything except for the fact that they may be even better programmers, but without the public opinion acknowledging this at large. Linus built his fame also from work of many developers and he went on board in the right time. Linus deserves a credit as a software idea policy maker and he helped very much in this respect.</span><br /><br /><span style="font-weight: bold;font-family:arial;" class="fullpost" >(Open)BSD vs Linux</span><br /><br /><span class="fullpost" style="font-family:arial;">It is often difficult to say what is better if you compare two things without regarding the purpose of their use. Mobile Internet may appear better for someone who travels often, but for people working at home such mobility is not necessary. In this view, it is a stupid question when someone asks: "What is better, a mobile or static Internet?" It all depends...</span><br /><br /><span class="fullpost" style="font-family:arial;">BSD systems are based upon real Unix source code contrary to Linux, which was developed from scratch (kernel).</span><br /></div><div style="text-align: right;"><span style="font-size:85%;"><strong>Author:</strong> Juraj Sipos</span></div></span>Johnmansdahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/05655100802290521660noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7291437990568860363.post-66925438104799379572008-11-04T23:56:00.000-08:002008-11-12T02:13:11.623-08:00The Right Way to Use the Powerpoint Templates<div style="text-align: justify; font-family: arial;">There are a lot of Powerpoint templates that you can make use of. The question now is how you are going to use them to the fullest or to your advantage. Today, you will learn how to use Powerpoint templates more effectively.<br /><span class="fullpost"><br /><br /><ol><li> Know the theme of your Powerpoint presentation.
