Vista performance test

all my rankings are 5.9 on the performance test, but my memory is 5.6.i have 4 GB, channel double sli memory 800mz and oc my fsb to 1333mz.how can I improve my memory? I read that vista 32 only supports memory.so total 4g add more ram will not improve this right? any advice would be great.
Thank you

Hello

There are a few things you can do to make the system more fast/more attentive.

Be careful that a lot of these programs and services really needs to run and often remove some
contributes little to the speed of the machine while making the less friendly machine to use.

To see everything that is in charge of startup - wait a few minutes without doing anything - then right click on the task - bar
The task manager - take a look at stored by - Services - process - it is a quick reference (if you have
a small box in the lower-left - show for all users can check only).

How to check and change Vista startup programs

A quick check to see that load method 2 is - using MSCONFIG and then display a list of the people here.

Method 1 using Windows Defender will tell you more specific information about each program.

---------------------------------------------

It's a little more complicated that you might have a few running services that you can do without.
Be careful by disabling a service may impact the ability of other agencies to run and cause problems of
on the road.

Also some programs add services that might not really need to start automatically. You can
often these type services put manual to reduce their impact on performance.

To see these compare these in Start - type in the search box-> find Services at top right click RUN AS ADMIN
to those of the default Vista as indicated here by BlackViper. Ignore and who are on the disabled (which do not run) or
Manual (which work only on request) - for any automatic or automatic delayed start you can post here if
you need help to decide if you should run. Some of these can be assigned to manual and stop so that the calling program can run them as needed.

BlackViper made also some improvements to default windows services but I wouldn't do those unless you
really understand the full meaning of change a default service. Then use it as a tool to compare.

Windows Services - list by default.

Another thing that helps performance is updated drivers - Vista like the updated drivers.

This is my generic how updates of appropriate driver:

For drivers, visit manufacturer of emergency system and of the manufacturer of the device that are the most common.
Control Panel - Device Manager - Display Adapter - note the brand and complete model of your
video card - double - tab of the driver - write version information. Now click on UPdate Driver (this
cannot do anything as MS is far behind the certification of drivers) - then do a right click - Uninstall - REBOOT
This will refresh the driver stack.

Repeat this for network - card (NIC), Wifi network, sound, mouse, and keyboard if 3rd party with their
own the software and drivers and all other main drivers that you have.

Now go to the site of the manufacturer of system (Dell, HP, Toshiba as examples) (restoration) and then of the manufacturer of the device
(Realtek, Intel, Nvidia, ATI, for example) and get their latest versions. (Look for the BIOS, Chipset and software)
updates on the site of the manufacturer of the system here.)

Download - SAVE - go to where you put them - right click - RUN AD ADMIN - REBOOT after each installation.

Always check in the Device Manager - tab drivers version you install actually shows up. This
because some restore drivers before the most recent is installed (particularly that audio drivers) so install a
pilot - reboot - check that it is installed and repeat if necessary.

Repeat to the manufacturers - BTW on device at the DO NOT RUN THEIR SCANNER - manually check by model.

Look at the sites of the manufacturer for drivers - and the manufacturer of the device manually.

If you update the drivers manually, then it's a good idea to disable the facilities of driver in the Windows updates,
This leaves ONE of Windows updates, but it will not install the drivers who are generally older and cause
questions. If updates offers a new driver and then hide it (right click on it) and then go look for new ones
manually if you wish.

ReadyBoost can help, more RAM, and ReadyBoost is even better and RAM is pretty cheap these days.

The max supported in Vista readyboost drive is 4 GB - if you get a larger drive 4 GB you can use the
rest for storage.

You need a very fast car and pay little attention to the demands of the manufacturers that they are ready for ReadyBoost as
even some slow readers claim that.

  • Satellite P200-1FZ: Question about Vista performance index?

    I recently bought a P200D-128 announced as having 256 MB of memory graphic dedicated only to find only has a HD2400 with 128 MB card (the name must have been an idea, I know).

    I was looking for a model with 256 MB I had read that it was recommended for good graphics performance in Vista.
    On the P200-128 model Vista performance index showed:

    Processor: 4.8
    Memory: 5.9
    Graphics: 3.3
    Games graphics: 3.7
    Hard drive: 5.2

    If the overall score of 3.3 seems not be limited by the graphics performance.

    I now plans to upgrade this model to a P200-1FZ (which has a HD2600 with 256 MB memory card), but would like to know if it significantly improves the score of graphics and Vista performance index.

    If anyone has this model (or a relative) and could tell me the VEI score, I would be very grateful.

    Thank you.

    Hello

    Just FYI: I Satellite P200D-111 with ATI Mobility Radeon X 2600 almost 5 months now. I use Vista Home Premium and to be honest, I'm quite satisfied with the performance of Vista. Up to now, I also tested with several games such as Call of Duty 2, Call of Duty 4, El Matador and older games like FarCry and Max Payne 2 WXP. It works perfectly.

    I like Call of Duty 4. He funs all simply fantastic. I do not even use complete running. At the moment I think to upgrade RAM to have better running OS. in the end, I can say one thing: for the reasonable price, I have large notebook.

    Good bye

  • Satellite A100 - low Windows Vista performance index

    Hey there,

    I bought a Toshiba Satellite A100 just for more than a year now with Vista Home Premium. I recently formatted the laptop and installed Vista Business. When I got Home Premium, my 'Windows experience index' (found in Control Panel > system) has been a 3.0 for the graphics. Under Business, is however now that 1.0. I guess that it has not detected the graphics hardware on my laptop.

    How do it detects hardware?

    > I guess that it has not detected the graphics hardware on my laptop.

    I put t know what do you say that it has not detected the graphic material, but you should definitely check out if the graphic and other driver drivers Toshiba have been installed on your laptop properly.

    In addition, the Windows Vista experience index can change and can go down if more programs are installed on the system.
    I noticed that my Windows Vista performance index decreases every time if a 3rd party application has been installed and then removed from the system.

    In my opinion, Windows Vista index experience might be less because you have installed a newer version of the Vista operating system which contains functions of Vista more and so would need of more resources.

    From our point of view, it would be ok if latency increases when you increase the load with multiple virtual machines. But as already out doubled over our cluster becomes broken after increasing the number of virtual machines at some point.

    We are currently testing with a subset of four nodes VSAN with the above config. In this group, we were able to turn on 187 load generation machines before that three of the four hosts entered the State "is not responding.

    We wonder if anyone has also made large performance tests. If so, we would be very interested in comments you make. Maybe this helps us to find the fault of our construction.

    Kind regards

    Daniel

    With the help of VMware we discover that the problems we face are caused by virtual machines gen load... each vm is generating 2048 ios in circulation... so with 187 VM on the cluster, we unreal ios in circulation (382976... when I remember the graphic observation of our cluster it would reduce up to 13000 per host) which we will never see in real world scenarios. With this high traffic vsan 6.1 ios has problems and vmware is working on a solution... maybe with 6.2 and qos that is resolved?

    A few other changes:

    -a newer driver for our network cards intel x 710

    -new driver and firmware (beta version of dell) for our h730 perc controller

    and some advanced settings:

    esxcfg-advcfg - 100000/LSOM/diskIoTimeout s

    esxcfg-advcfg - s 4/LSOM/diskIoRetryFactor

    esxcfg-advcfg - s LSOM/2047/heapSize (with these parameters, we were able to create 3 starts - with 7 metal discs and 1 flash device - for each host)

  • OSB: Performance tests

    Hi all

    I want to test our Service OSB for Performance. I already did the test in SOAPUI. But my test performance requirement is something like below

    Request and the response stream :

    The client sends requests to

    • OSB of level of consumption (this enrichs the message) and for the Orchestration level OSB
    • OSB level orchestration (Orchestration done) by contacting OSB data layer
    • Data layer OSB (it connects to the database of the provider)

    I would like to send a request from a performance tool that could give me the amount of time needed to each layer of OSB.

    Please help me!

    Thank you

    Provide a follow-up on each of the OSB services involved in the flow. You can turn on tracing to the level of service, level of pipeline or action. Then run your SOAP UI or Load Runner or jMeter performance test.

    After that, you can monitor the statistics for each of the services in the health section for the sbconsole of the dash service. Depending on the chosen level you will be able to see the number of applications, the average processing time, min and max processing time for each service/operation/pipeline/action etc.

  • Performance tests: bind variables

    When you write a SQL for the application, I want to do some performance testing of SQL before providing to JAVA developers. I understand that I need to test using bind variables, can someone guide me how do? What are the best tools out there to achieve? Please provide some guidance. Thank you!

    Rinne says:
    I read more about bind variable and I can test the use of bind variables. I understand that testing SQL using bind variables is a closer representation of the real world. Even when queries have large tables, the performance would be similar if I run the query using literals twice (to avoid hard analysis) compared to tests with bind variables? I am trying to understand more thoroughly the need for tests with bind variables. Why we take more time than the other? Thank you!

    The main thing is that the opimizer will / can do if bind variables different optimization techniques are used or not.
    There are two contradictory effects its regarding the binding settings.

    Effect 1: Reuse of cursor
    If the same is done again and again and again. Maybe different sessions. Then using binding settings is essential. Why? Because the same cursor can be reused, which saves a lot of time for analysis. This occurs mainly in OLTP systems. The idea behind this is that to do the same action, just for a different ID (ID in order for example) will result in an identical implementation plan.

    The result: Faster analysis time and less consumption of memory, because the same cursor can be resused between different sessions.

    Effect 2: Correct assumptions

    According to a filter expression, some using the value of the OBC will make an assumption based on statistical data the number of rows is returned because of this expression and the value.
    Speculation between a literal value and a bound value may be different. In many cases exist technical opimization (bind peeking etc.) to the same literal conjecture binded proposal.

    But there are exceptions, for example a condition such as the following will result in different estimates

    column between 10 and 20
    
    column between :P1 and :P2
    

    There are as well other effects.

    Result: The CBO can make assumptions better if literals. But most of the cases the proposal is identical.

    Conclusion: Literal values are useful if you do large queries where the output size depends strongly on the parameters provided, and where you run that very few of these (OLAP) queries.
    Binding settings are usfull when the same execution (OLTP) need a grand plan number of queries.

  • CONSIDERATIONS OF MWA PERFORMANCE TEST

    Hi all

    We want to perform tests on our MSCA Fwk solutions especially manifest picking performance. Majority of orders shipped from our warehouse are orders of line 1.

    We must ensure that the system performs well enough for the company to continue operations post go-live.

    Can you please share your experiences on the data to be entered? How many orders to execute during the test to get a clear picture of performance.

    Are there specific aspects to be taken into account?

    Kind regards
    Arun.

    I think you need to do 2 types of performance tests:

    1. load tests
    Know what kind of charges you expect to see on the system.
    a. number of users
    (b) the number of transactions
    c. parallel transactions in EBS
    Set the system to reproduce that this charge and you should be able to pass with an average number of trnasactions running activity.

    2. stand-alone speed trials
    To do this you must make sure that the system is more fast/fast.
    Find a way to the device a technique to measure the amount of the difference.
    For example in our warehouse, we did a test based on the following points:
    1. check the time taken to enter data into the MSCA vs Legacy system is based on the number of iterations of scan/capture and not a quantity of function fo
    for example 96/6 pack are analysable. If you have a quantity of 1000 > it becomes a palette
    Given the conditions above a quantity of 96 would be a single iteration of data entry in picking manifest (items C.-a-d./quantite/lot)
    If we have a quantity of 15 it would be 3 iterations (6 + 6 + 3)
    2. find the distribution of the data in the warehouse.
    To make this excerpt, order lines all delivered over a given period
    Calculate the number of iterations you do. (handle in excel)
    Build your distribution boards
    Once you do this measure the time in Oracle vs system existing for each range
    Qty per range * delta time would give you more time by range
    Summation of all beaches gives you the total time.

    It is a very concise explanation. Please let me know if you need additional information

  • Question about Vista performance on satellite Pro M70

    I was wondering if anyone knew a lot about the performance of vista. For example, if you run a game under vista it run worse than in Xp because the operating system uses more than the power of the computer?

    Hello

    For two weeks, I use Windows Vista on my Satellite Pro M70. The laptop is not Vista capable, but I am very satisfied. It works very well. I tried to install and play older games like Far Cry and IGI2. It works perfectly without any problems.

    The set comes with 512 MB of RAM. As I said it works well, but I think that it will work much better with more RAM. I think I'll buy another 1 GB module. With 1.5 GB of RAM, I believe that the unit will operate like a rocket. :)

    Which laptop model you have?

  • Portege M400: Vista performance

    I recently updated my M400-146 for Vista Ultimate (32 bit) and Vista works ok, but not quite as expected. If I compare the index experience Vista on some systems, the M400 compares poorly.

    On the M400 (Core 2 Duo 2 GHz + 2 x 1 GB PC-5300) I get a performance index of: -.

    Overall rating = 2.6, CPU = 3.9, memory = 2.6 (other values seem ok)

    On a desktop system (Core 2 Duo E6600 + 2 x 1 Go PC-6400 (DDR2-1066), integrated Intel graphics) I get: -.

    Overall = 3.8, CPU = 5.3, memory = 5.6 (limited by the integrated graphics card)

    On a non-Toshiba laptop (PM - 1.8 GHz, 2 x 1 GB);

    CPU = 3.8, memory = 4.0

    So the laptop with a CPU and RAM much slower, much slower than the M400 better scores for memory and about the same for the processor.

    One thing I've seen, is that Vista described the experience index as "not rated". If I manually run WinSAT still see errors about "RDTSC to QPC is too high."

    Anyone else see the RDTSC to QPC delta error? The index of the experience you get?

    I have to say that I compared the performance of the M400 with SiSoft Sandra running two XP Vista & under Vista Sandra reports a little less than half the performance of XP on all measures.

    Mike

    Hello Mike

    What to say? A lot of people are disappointed by the performance of Vista. I have to be honest and say that this fact surprised not at all.

    I have this phone small and Nice, but you should try to optimize the operating system on your own needs and also to disable all the stuff you n t need for your work. Maybe you shouldn't focus on this score of Vista but try to optimize the system to run stable and quite fast for you.

    BTW: have you updated the BIOS to the latest version 3.20?

    Hi all

    I run a Performance Rating in Windows Vista yesterday.

    It is excellent!
    Base score was 4.7 (overall rating)

    Under Scores as follows:

    I found his performance is very good with Win Vista.

    Thanks again for Toshiba!

    Dear friends... Send comments on this...

    Kind regards

    Updates will not increase this Vista scores!
    I noticed that each new installation of driver or the application decreases the score.

    I found lots of useful information on other computers and websites vista and it seems that is nothing unusual. It seems all the operating systems and the modification of the registry entry has a bad influence on this Vista partition.

  • Vista Performance, memory resources needs, difference between Vista Home Basic family and Vista Premium.

    My computer is an Acer Aspire with an E2140 1.60ghz processor, including a 200 GB hard drive and 1 GB of ram. I am running Windows Vista Premium Edition family. However, my computer seems to work slowly and very inefficient. I did everything I can to restore its performance. My question is, quite simply. If Vista Basic reguires only 512 MB of ram and vista premium Edition requires 1 GB. My pc would have better performance using vista Basic instead of Vista premium edition? Because how basic requires less ram? Or replacement with basic premium would cause my cpu to work hard?

    There is no difference in speed between the edition of Vista. You can try to disable the Aero glass theme if your graphics card is too slow. Now, the CPU is more used to render the UI rather than the GPU. How much is your RAM used?  Look in Taskmanager on the used/cache/RAM values of the free.

    To improve the speed, you should switch to 2 GB of RAM.

  • WebServices API performance test. BB10

    I would like to test the performance of my Application that uses the BB WebServices API for BES10.

    How can I add false devices to perform the test?

    I have not found any BlackBerry tool or third-party applications.

    Thank you

    You cannot add a fake device.  You can create users in the system using the BWS with the API "createUsers.

    You can create administrative users who do not have a device, but order of queries users device information (device with users), they must be registered and then company activate their device against that account which was created (using the email address provided when they were created).

    A number of companies use BWS (BB WebServices) available to their users prior to their receiving device user.  Once they receive their device, the user will add an account using the Enterprise Activation password that was set for them when they were saved/created.

    In the absence of the user to activate their (physical device), you will only have the user objects stored in the database with no realization of activation (No PIN, the device type, model, OS version, etc.).  You can still use BWS for the users from the list, add it policies, add them to groups, etc.

    I hope that clarifies things, even if it is not the result you're looking for.

The endpoint tube "net .pipe://localhost/cntrlservice/service" is not found on your local computer. '

  • multicast performance test?

    I'm curious to know what kind of bandwidth, you get performance multicast vSAN health plugin test. Now our vSAN is on a link of 1 G (will modernize it to 10G thereafter), I get only about 80 M/s compared to the desired bandwidth 125 M/s, I was wondering what could be done to improve it. It is a facility newly vSAN and no other traffic at all the.

    We use Dell N4032 switch, the current configuration of the network's MTU 9000, with active igmp snooping and quierer address configured as the IP of the interface VLAN switch, seems she works as assumed:

    show ip igmp snooping groups

    Group VLAN journalist IIR filter address Source

    I also tried to disable igmp monitoring on this vlan, makes no difference on the performance of multicat test.

    It's true. In fact, we put the limitation/performance target of network multicast as 1000 M/bits during the test, the desired line speed is 1000 * 1024 * 2/8 = 125 M/B. As long as bandwidth real is greater than 50 M/B, we consider the NECK.

    Hello

    I want to Test Load, Performance and Stress testing for server and application also. Is there any tool for that specific test. Please suggest me.

    Thanks in advance.
