Good idea to upgrade to 8.1 with this material?

OK, so I'm planning on upgrading to windows 64 bit 8.1 Windows 7 and I was wondering if my hardware is compatible.

Intel core 2 duo e8400 3.00 ghz
RAM ddr2 4 GB
NVIDIA nforce 650i chipset
X 2 GeForce 8800 gt SLI
120 GB SSD with win7 pro 64-bit
Two other (storage) HARD drives
All the latest drivers for everything.
The model of the computer is a dell XPS 630i
Thanks in advance!

Yes, your system has more than the system requirements to run Windows 8.

Note:

You can't do updates direct from Windows 7 to Windows 8.1, you should back up your personal files and settings before and prepare to reinstall programs and drivers.

Disconnect all non-essential devices.

Disconnect all devices of storage internally except the disk target hard where 8.1 Windows will be installed.

    Provided the specifications of the computer meets Windows XP you can switch from 2000 to XP. If it does not meet the specifications, you may upgrade the computer first or get a new one which is more cheaper today.

    In addition, please note that you can only switch to Windows XP Professional. If it is a home edition you have then it will not work. You can refer to the link below on how to update your copy of Windows 2000 to Windows XP Pro.

    "Broadband PLC" was the provision of access to internet via incoming food, not something that was very common or successful.

    Your proposal is entirely internal is so different, for example, they refer to it "are on the same range" as ADSL. HomePlug PowerLAN solutions do not have something like this beach as it is designed to work with a main inner ring.

    Yes, the technology is much improved and the standards are now closely identified. Most units also offer an encrypted mode that allows only of these units in a group sure talking to each other.

    Hi all

    I have a ThinkPad E420 with the recovery partition in the HARD drive. I intend to sell the excessive 750 GB 5400 RPM HARD drive and replace it with a 120 GB SSD, because I need responsiveness instead of ability. Is this a good idea?

    Fortunately, NVIDIA keeps supporting the legacy cards. If most of the distributions out there should work fine.

    If you're new to Linux, I would try Linux Mint on a CD or USB drive. Lubuntu is also a good idea because he goes easy on older hardware. You can continue to try different distros until you are comfortable with one or find one that you like best.

  • Upgrade to modem cable with router?

    I plan to upgrade my modem cable to take advantage of the increased speed that Comcast now offers in our region. I think my Airport Extreme of 2007 could be a brake on the increase in the speed of a new modem. I would like to know if it is better to buy a new modem cable with built-in wifi router.

    My current Airport Extreme supports two iMacs (24 "in 2007 and a 27 '' 2010), two iPhones and iPad two minis. My current cable modem offers 34 mb/s download speeds and download about 6 MB/s.

    I will be grateful for any advice... Thank you

    I think my Airport Extreme of 2007 could be a brake on the increase in the speed of a new modem.

    There are 2 different versions of AirPort Extreme offered in 2007... a 1st generation version and the 2nd generation.

    The 1st generation version will manage an Internet connection speed of up to about 100 Mbps. The 2nd generation version will manage up to 350-400 Mbps.

    If your new service provider will be 100 Mbit/s or lower, it is not really important what version you have. Either the version of AirPort Extreme will take care of this service.

    If your new service will be 100 + Mbps, then you will have the Gen version 2nd of the airport to take advantage of the higher speeds.

    IF you have the 1st generation AirPort Extreme... And... your new service will be well above 100 Mbps... THEN... it might be a good idea to take a look at a new modem/router.

    HOWEVER... If your new service will be less than 100 Mbps... so you probably won't receive any improvement with a new modem/router and it would be wise to simply continue to use the airport until it fails.

    So an important question here might be... what version of AirPort Extreme do you have?

    Another important issue could be... your current modem will support the service high speed?

    Open the AirPort on your Mac utility and you should be able to know which version of airport you have.  If you can provide the serial number and model of your modem, we will see if we can find out what he can do.

    If you wondering if Comcast, you should know that the person you speak to will probably receive a bonus if you order a new modem or new modem/router...so you may not receive an unbiased opinion on their part.

    Finally, there are a number of users who believe that, as a general rule that you need to replace a modem or a router in about 5 years... even if it doesn't work OK. So, you might get some interesting opinions together.

  • I think switching from Windows XP to Windows 7, but it seems complicated. Is this a good idea?

    I want to get rid of my security Computer Associates software. It overload my system.

    I believe that a combination of Windows 7 and Microsoft Security Essentials and Web of Trust would do a good job.

    Switching from XP to Windows 7 seems complicated. Is this a good idea?

    I would appreciate any advice. I am a former novice

    Thank you

    Get rid of CA security software and do general maintenance on your system would probably go a long way to improve your computing experience.  See help! My computer is slow!

    Unless you plan to buy a new computer with Windows 7 pre-installed, make sure that your hardware is compatible with Windows 7 (for the most part, this means that Windows 7 drivers are available; problems are more likely to occur with older laptops).  Download and run the Windows 7 Upgrade Advisor.

  • I do not understand this statement "It is a good idea to keep track that uses a bunch of Audio channels selected in the arrange window, unless you actively play or record on a software Instrument."

    It's a good idea to keep track that uses a bunch of Audio channels selected in the arrange window, unless you actively play or record on a software Instrument.

    Which no longer applies in Logic Pro X 10.2.3. In old versions of logic, selecting a range with a software instrument automatically would make this instrument in "Live" mode, which means that the instrument has begun to transform any MIDI in sound with a minimum of delay. This direct mode becomes an instrument need CPU power (on a single processor) and peut overload the audio engine. It is a waste of CPU if there is no direct game. Then select an audio track would ensure that No instrument is in direct mode. Now (LPX 10.2.2 or more) in direct mode can be turned on or off on a track, chosen or not - it is the R button on the track header.

  • How to upgrade the graphics card with t500 20896kg

    Hello

    I've been misled by some tests to the conclusion, that all the t500 would have this incredible "switchable graphics" and Announces. Ruse, simply create a good product and then 70 different versions with a lot less stuff inside - everyone will buy it, which is not a complete hardware nerd and knows all the numbers and things. In any case, I'm the fool who bought the T500 WITHOUT any graphics at all because Intel x4500HD is obviously not the use of a graphics card, he just pretended a. Not Fallout 3, no 'empty' (graph sucks pretty well, even if no laptop with an older map should have problems with it), no nothing.

    It doesn't mean ANY modern game at all, 771,2 Mo 'RAM' Intel X4500HD or not - you know before or pay huge sums for games that do not work have Forum-Nerds laugh their bootys away on a silent client who fell the tricks of Lenovo (and Intel).

    Yes, rantings side: is it possible to upgrade the T500 20896 kg - that goes without graphics card - with a real graphics card, would be the choice to choose and how do I insert it?

    Thank you

    PS: by the way, someone had some effort with this lenovo-windows-update action? has attracted money, never had no reminder or shipping.

  • Good graphics card upgrade for HP Pavilion p7-1534?

    Hello

    I just got a new HP Pavilion p7-1534 for my birthday. I want to update my graphics card because I'm a big gamer, but I don't know where to start. What are some cards compatible with this system? It would be nice to be able to get one that will run the new generation games (ex: 4 Battlefield http://bf4central.com/battlefield-4-system-requirements/) heating maximum without having to upgrade my power supply, but if not, that's okay, I'd like to see some cards at both ends of the spectrum (those who will AND will not require an upgrade to the PSU).

    Thank you for your time,

    -J

    Jay, welcome to the forum and the happy birthday late.  Congratulations on your new computer.

    The power supply unit (PSU) in your computer is 300W.  Most new mid-level video cards require at least 400W to work properly.  Any card that will work with the 300W PSU will be much better than the integrated video.  The games that you want to read will not perform just the way you expect.

    I like the OCZ and Corsair PSU.  They will provide clean and stable power for your system.  I recommend at least 500W; 550W at 600W is even better.  You can buy one of these brands for less than $100.  Both in the links I provided would do a very good job.  If you decide to buy one of them, please read all of the reviews.

    Here's a map that would work very well for what you want it to do.  Read the reviews to see what users have to say about it.  Of course, we should upgrade the power supply.

  • Restore my HP Pavilion laptop to factory settings it is a good idea?

    I recently accidentally changed my default settings of the police, I did everything I could, except for the restoration of my hard drive to its default settings. However, since I bought this computer a year ago, I noticed faster internet and less connection issues, as well as some other problems fixed. I'd be willing to sacrifice my default settings for performance, so I was wondering if it would be a good idea to restore my computer to its default settings. Also, I currently do not have records to back up my data, so I'll need to do the same. Another thing, my HP Advisor advised me not to restore my laptop unless I really need to.
    Yet one thing, lightning struck our House a few months ago. Unfortunately, I accidentally turned off my father the day before surge protector. Anyway, he destroyed all of our equipment to wireless internet, as well as the fan of my father. We then contacted AT & T and they sent us a few tricks, with phone, download order software online to make our internet work. I do not have these registered Web sites and I don't know how in the world I would like to reinstall that software. So, I was wondering if I drop everything this software if I did a factory restore.
    Thank you for your time and support, rlnachtigal

    I'm with your HP consultant. Restoring default values should be a last
    Resort. If you need assistance resetting your fonts, start another thread for
    which. I'm sure you will find the repair of fonts one relatively simple
    task, compared to the restoration of your PC.

  • Good idea to save to shared dir *.db files / sdCard?

    Hello
    I was wondering, is it a good idea to save files *.db APP to one of the directories in the file system to backup purposes or Let's save it in the directory without extension ".db"?

    Any other way to back up the data if sqlite is used?

    I'm not totally "want to share my table with any organization!

    Thank you

    S.

    Bad word really like the hash usually means change the bytes to something unreversible in this case, I meant just dressing up the bytes on the eye if you load a file into a byte editor it will be immediately obvious, it is a database file.

    So reverse the order of the bytes in the file or write as hex codes (will double the size of file), something along these lines that will prevent a casual viewer.
