Massive hardware review

I want to build a computer games in the future, but don't want to pay for a new operating system and I want to use the license of Windows XP on my old Dell computer (Yes, I know, old and obsolete). I would like to know if I can just do a massive hardware revision (new motherboard, CPU, RAM, card video, hard drive, power supply, etc.) in my Dell computer and still have the work of XP license. If it does not, what updates I'd be limited to to keep my XP license?

Hello Deegrin,

You can change everything except the motherboard. Good advice on all XP themes, visit the http://www.annoyances.org/exec/forum/winxp

    Hello

    I have the Belkin F5D7230-4 wireless router and Tecra Mr. I have a problem and the configuration is very easy. The only thing that made me problems using the Belkin configuration software. After half an hour, I decided to set it up using router setting directly and I ended up in a few minutes. In my opinion you don't need updates. Just check all the connection parameters.

  • How to find out really currently used physical memory and swap space of hard disk to the virtual computer running?

    Suppose that I'm leaving WinXP hostOS a guestOS. Then a part of this guestOS remain in physical memory and another part is deployed on hard drive in the swap file resp swap partition.

    First question: the complete *.vmdk loaded into memory/swap space or only the part that is currently required?

    Perhaps only a *.vmdk 800 MB / 3GB is really responsible. But these 800 MB could be extended to 2 GB, because the content of these 800 MB is not compressed during load or guestOS drivers allocate additional memory.

    *. VMDK size seems so NO indicator for the actual amount of used memory / swap.

    How will I know how much physical (a) memory and (b) the hard disk swap space EXACTLY is currently occupied by a certain virtual machine running?

    The vmdk is not loaded into memory, because it is the drive of the virtual machine.

    *. VMDK size seems so NO indicator for the actual amount of used memory / swap.

    Yes, of course not. The memory used by the client is not related to the size of hard but the RAM assigned in the options of hardware reviews.

    How will I know how much physical (a) memory and (b) the hard disk swap space EXACTLY is currently occupied by a certain virtual machine running?

    Open the Task Manager and find a task vmware - vmx.exe or vmware-vmx - debug.exe.

    The swap file should be used if you have chosen to allow that VMware Workstation is authorized to Exchange. The file where swaps to door expansion .vmem Workstation. Search folder of comments.

  • ESX 3.5 to 4.0 update

    Hi there,

    I intend to upgrade our ESX 4.0 host from3.5. We are running 4 x ESX 3.5 shared host with SANstorage Ent and the VC running on a virtual machine. These host takes care of 35 virtual machines. I plan toupgrade the client and VC to 4.0 and then use the mangr update to upgrade to the home.

    Question: how long can I keep the current VM on the new host before you have to upgradethem. I want to improve those VMS in addition to 2 weeks of small groups. Y at - it anyproblems with it.

    Thank you

    I had a similar project.  There is no problem with this approach that I know.

    It is to take a few restarts to get all the vm up to version 7 of the hardware reviews.  Once you have upgraded you server VC upgrade then VM tools, then stop. Hardware level, reboot.  Also, it is worth to note the IP address of the host to the case where.  I read that some people lost there static IP addresses, but I have not personally experienced this.  I hope all is well!

  • advice on the follow-up to the elderly with third party hardware/software?

    Ok. advance apologies if this isn't the right forum for this but apple seems to come with great new tools very frequently and app users tend to be quite sophisticated. Anyway, here goes:

    is it good hardware or software to track an elderly parent that needs to be followed for their safety? I mean, assuming that they give permission or assuming that they are beyond the point where they can give the permission is there such thing as a small bracelet that let me do this using my iphone and a kind of software?

    find my iphone seems like it does something similar, but that's assuming that the phone battery is not dead, and assuming that they take on the phone with them which are the two major assumptions.

    I just saw there was a framework for friends and family on icloud.com but nobody knows how it works? can I turn on his phone and have access to the place where it is if her phone is with him, and when its battery is turned on?

    LG made a device called a Gadget of Gizmo (adult version of their Pal Gizmo). It looks like a smart watch. But it is basically a stripped down the phone (so you would need a cell plan). There is an application to track the user. Not an Apple product, but it gets good reviews.

  • Re: Cannot retrieve Satellite L300-1AS - hardware problem?

    Dear Sir

    My laptop had been hanged for last week while he was working, whether caused by a blurry screen or a power failure. The adapter has been replaced I thought it might come from the power outlet. But the socket finer, when the laptop was opened.

    Due to no such problems have been has spent in safe mode, I tried to re install the OS from the original recovery disk. However, the system couldn t reach nothing more the OS 3/6 file decompression.
    But he was able to browse the web page to ubundu from the trial (no installation), but again got stuck within minutes.
    A technician told me it s with card memory; I replaced it, but didn t work.

    Now, another person after that one day the review concluded that, being the screen GET blurred it's a fault with graphics cards and buy only comes around 150 euros.

    So it would be grateful if any of you can find the correct solution, where I think if repairs cost more than more than 200 euros better off buying a new.

    > So it would be grateful if any of you can find the correct solution, where I think if the repair will cost more than more than 200 euros better off buying a new.

  • Satellite A500-ST6644 reviews

    I filled out a list of characteristics of mobile at http://forum.notebookreview.com/what-notebook-should-i-buy/484100-selecting-asus-notebook.html#4

    I don't do any game or scientific computing, CPU performance requirements are modest. I'll especially make surfing and document review/creation (M$ office, Word, Powerpoint, Visio, etc.), the movie streaming occasional (maybe YouTube). A friend type IT was suggested to go for an i3 prolong the life of a battery charge. Presumably, he didn't suggest architectures earlier because I'm hoping to keep this laptop for many years. I don't know, maybe some compatibility issues on the road, or perhaps the new architecture is more energy efficient.

    My last laptop has a 14 "screen and wasn't as flat and wider than the elongation of today. It's the perfect balance between the desktop replacement and portability (this will be my only computer). However, my friend also suggested Blu Ray, who for the most part does not exist for screens smaller than 15.6 ". Although I don't really like Blu ray right now, I think it is very plausible that in five years, he could dominate DVD. I'm going to target Blu Ray for 15.6 ".

    The friend suggested at least 4 GB of RAM. For my simple uses, I was wondering if there was any point in going still higher.

    To avoid the limitations of looking to the future, I'll go for 64-bit Windows 7 Professional. I'm also going to install Windows XP Mode (available for free for Windows 7 Professional) in order to run legacy as Palm Desktop 4.1.4 32-bit applications. Focus groups indicate that it allows synchronization with a PDA Palm connected through the USB port.

    Of course, I'll replace this PDA in the near future, but do not know when, or what. I need the XP Mode as insurance (and in the case of other legacy applications need
    It). on the USB port, I would look for USB 2.0, which is pretty much standard. My friend mentioned a SDHC port for one I can own devices, but this seems rare for laptops (unlike the SD). I'll take an external drive if necessary.

    Initially, I decided on ASUS K52F/K52JR but I met information on persistent and widespread noise due to the interaction between a coil inductance on the motherboard with the processor in mode:

    Now, I've explored Toshibas 15-16 "to http://www.toshibadirect.com/td/b2c/laptops.to
    I have found only one model that can be configured to meet any desired characteristics: Satellite A500-ST6644
    http://www.toshibadirect.com/TD/B2C/cdetland.to?poid=467918.

    If you have comments on this election for the fixed criteria, I salute them. They could be personal or experience that you hear on the vine.

    In addition, comments are welcome on if bluetooh will take off. It's a pain to try to get this feature later.

    Finally, a local issue: is there a retailer in Ottawa, the Canada, who can get this model?

    You posted a lot and all these links are therefore useless to me. Who should read some Asus forums?

    My opinion on all of this:
    I think that Satellite A series sold more portable Toshiba worldwide. This model is definitely designed for each day's work as well as for some multimedia features.
    As I see you want to buy new notebook and use it more often at home, right?
    Also, you want to have for a long period of time, right?

    I think Satellite is good choice, but if the money is not that important to you I recommend getting some info on the new Qosmio F60. It is also very beautiful mobile multimedia. You can use it for every day of work, but the hardware is more powerful and you're ready for the future. We can expect that You Tube and many new video channels online will offer better quality and best video, which means that we must have more powerful graphics performance on our laptops. Because of this, I think Qosmio F60 is much better choice.

    I know it costs more money but if you want to have the laptop great for the next 5 years I do not think that a few hundred dollars in prizes make a big difference.

    Please note:
    New laptops are designed for Windows7 and all laptops with good material are delivered with the 64-bit only operating system, so there is no support for 32-bit or old operating systems like Windows XP Home edition.
    Check this before ordering new notebook.

    You can also talk to your local dealer, check online offers to the Canada and buy an A500 and test it for a few days to see whether or not you will be satisfied. In the worst case you can send it back and check the other model.

  • ThinkPad T450s Review

    Introduction

    The ThinkPad T450s is one of the best new ultrabooks. If it is not as slim as some, it is still quite compact and easier to service than the thinner machines and screen Full HD IPS is a standout feature.

    This review is based on a ThinkPad T450s, 20BX Type of Machine production, product ID 20BXCTO1WW.

    • Intel Core i7-5600U processor
    • 8.1 Windows Pro 64
    • 14.0 "FHD (1920 x 1080)
    • Camera HD 720 p
    • Intel HD 5500 graphics card
    • 4 GB DDR3L - Base of 1600 MHz SDRAM
    • Fingerprint reader
    • Hard drive 500 GB, 7200 RPM, 2.5 "
    • ThinkPad battery 3 cells Li-Polymer (23.2Whr) before
    • ThinkPad battery 3 cells Li-Polymer (23.2Whr) rear
    • Country Pack 45W in the United States (2-pin) adapter
    • Intel 7265 AC/B/G/N Dual Band Wireless + Bluetooth Version 4.0

    From the receipt:

    • 4 GB Samsung SO - DIMM has been installed
    • Hard drive has been replaced with 1 TB Samsung 850 EVO SSD.

    Construction

    T450s build quality isn't old ThinkPad level, with a clear devaluation, but is still very good. Problems include the difficulty of dislodging the lower lid (after removing the 8 screws) for joining plastic textured inside and fingerprinting, revealing instead of the old finish rubber. But it is quite solid, no bending and quite compact.

    Connectivity

    Port is good enough on both sides with nothing on the back. All USB ports are 3.0 with excellent performance. But Mini DisplayPort means you need to maybe buy and carry a dongle of easy-to-lose. Performance of the Wi - Fi connection (802.11ac Intel 2 x 2) seems better than previous cards Intel generation 802.11n, even those with 3 x 3. Bluetooth connections are fast. The speakers are decent, but nothing to write home about. Quality of the webcam is improved over previous generations, but still struggles in low light. Fingerprint reader is a great improvement. (Thanks, Apple.)

    Performance

    The good news is that the i7 T450s finally turns out to be a bit faster than the i7 Sandy Bridge (T420s) on the tasks of processor such as video encoding, despite a processor intensive ultra low voltage a bit more slowly. The machine is cold and silent most of the time, with only a gentle breath of air under high load.

    Memory

    4 GB of memory is soldered to the main Board and there is only a single SO-DIMM location. While you can add a 8 GB SO - DIMM for 12 GB total, that would mean that half of the memory could run in single channel mode, which can have a very important impact on the performance (as much as 20-30%), especially since the graphics adapter integrated uses part of the main memory (memory available). So if you care about performance, you need to stick with 8 GB, which can be marginal for things like video editing HD Ultra. (The impact on the performance, of course, also applies to machines with only the Basic 4 GB of memory. The promised NVIDIA 940 M graphics option is not yet available.)

    Screen

    The IPS 1920 x 1080 screen can take some getting used to, but is really much better than TN screens and is close enough to a calibration right out of the box. (Remember to burn on the screen for at least 24 hours before making any justice.)

    Keyboard

    The keyboard of the island is pretty good for what it is, but the provision still suffers compared to the classic ThinkPad keyboard. Homepage layout end delete and PrtSc are poor and other keys like Pause/break are missing entirely, now only available as Fn combinations (such as Fn + B for Break) that are not marked on the keys. Also annoying is the lack of status lights of the hardware (your hard drive, Wi - Fi, Bluetooth, load connection). You can count on the Windows taskbar for wireless and in charge, but you will need to install something like DiskLED (which works well) to the disk activity. Keyboard backlight is usable (despite some annoying light crosstalk between the top row), but not as good as the classic ThinkLight.

    Power

    With just the standard 2nd battery, not long battery life with big bulge on the bottom, the T450s still usable on and off by a day without running out of battery power. The power adapter provided is quite small, but only 45W, cannot quickly fresh when the system is under load. If you care about fast charging, you should get the Slim 65W adapter.

    Summary

    A return for most welcome to your ThinkPad, with a very good IPS screen and finally enough power processor ultra low voltage measure to the Sandy Bridge.

    Belkin Mini DisplayPort to HDMI adapter is available at low cost from B & H.
