Have I not an Aurora R1?

Hi, first time poster and only a little tech savvy Aurora owner here.

I have an Aurora I bought in March 2010 and has an I7 960 CPU.  I still have the original packing slip, but it just says it's a "Alienware Aurora Desktop".  I found a Wikipedia article that suggests is an R1 or R1 ALX.  I tried to check with Dell, but even if I have the service tag, the person I spoke with could not help me.

So the first question is how can we be sure what model I have?  I don't know how important this is, but I would like to know it.

In the 5 years I've owned the Aurora, it became gradually slower and slower. I was led to believe that reinstalling the operating system can help with that.  I found this post from TESLA1856 on the subject.  http://en.community.Dell.com/Owners-Club/Alienware/f/3746/t/19376654 I also found this Dell Knowledge Base article: www.dell.com/.../en. s = dhs & cs = 19 & l = en

I thought I could try firstly make a recovery instead of a clean install, but I found that my Aurora apparently has no Alien ReSpawn loaded, so I'm back to consider a clean install.

I have not tried ID Council MIO communication cable yet.

I'm a little intimidated by all the warnings of disastrous consequences that may befall me if I do the wrong thing or do something in the right order, but I think I can get through.

I had not heard of Acronis and I will consider it.

Thanks in advance for any help.

He must then Aurora R1 (with Intel x 58 chipset). Model alx improved if there mobile louvers on top and additional lights.

AlienRespawn called Dell DataSafeLocal at the time, but it is not reliable and won't bring back if the hardware is changed. Clean-install is preferable. This is in itself will be speed it up a bit (if you ever did in 3-4 years).

Last update for this machine is probably an SSD. You want speed, you take a little longer and you are probably looking to a new installation of Windows anyway. Make the existing mill to drive a "data disc" after that you get everything out of him.

Good SSD will machine more quickly than ever.

  • Have I not Win XP 32-bit or 64-bit

    I have Win XP 32-bit or 64-bit - NOT to say to check the properties of Sys because... I already did and I do not know...

    (1) I don't understand if I have Windows XP 32-bit or 64-bit, and should I choose for downloads. I have a Lenovo AMD Athlon 64 x 2 with Microsoft Windows XP Home Edition, Version 2002, Service Pack 3, by the Sys properties.

    So, I I had 64 - bit.

    But, when I run Uniblue programs (RegistryBooster, DriverScanner) it says I have 32-bit.

    (2) in addition, I need to know if MicroSoft approved indeed Uniblue programs. Uniblue says they are a Microsoft Gold Certified Partner. What does that mean. I am uncomfortable because the Registry Booster found 687 problems! Don't you think it is really safe to click 'fix automatically? It seems to me that it could cause a major problem. I don't know what to do.

    (3) in addition, why doesn't Microsoft Fix It works for me.  I get this message:

    Your operating system is not supported by Microsoft FixIt now

    (4) I am a 67 - year woman and worked with the computer more than 45 years, but I'm not upward on topical issues or programs.

    Please ask someone who can cope with older people to give me understandable information. I can not foklow long uncertain or detailed messages.

    1. If the properties of the system does not have 64-bit, you have the 32-bit version. In addition almost * everyone * the 32-bit version runs under XP.

    2. I can't tell you what Microsoft approved of, but I can say that I agree. Stay * a lot * of registry cleaners. Do not run it and if you have, do not click on "fix automatocally." The risk of creating problems in this way is very large.

    Registry cleaning programs are * all * snake oil. The registry cleaning is not necessary and dangerous. Let alone register and do not use any registry cleaner. Despite what many people think, and what software record cleaning providers are trying to you convince to have used the registry entries is not really make you hurt.

    The risk of a serious problem caused by a registry cleaner by mistake delete an entry you need is much greater than any potential benefit it may have.

    and also http://blogs.technet.com/markrussinovich/archive/2005/10/02/registry-junk-a-windows-fact-of-life.aspx

    Let me stress that neither me nor anyone else who warns against the use of registry cleaners has never said that they always cause problems. If they have always caused problems, they would disappear from the market almost immediately. Many people have used a registry cleaner and never had a problem with it.

    The problem with a registry cleaner is that it carries with it the essential * risk * to have a problem. And since there is no advantage to using a registry cleaner, running the risk is a very bad deal.
