  Hello

  In my opinion, you must install the XP operating system on the second partition.
  In this case, you can use the two BONES; Vista and XP.

  Using these two s OS has many advantages. For example, you can always test the Vista and the new Microsoft features that are available in Vista and, in addition, you can use the XP if you need to run some programs and applications that are not fully compatible with Vista.

  Then first ask how o create a second partition in Vista.
  Well, this can be done in disk management. Right-click on the my computer drive management made right click on the disk to manage and modify the size of the partition.
  Then the free space on the HARD drive can be activated, and you can create the new partition.

  Then simply boot from Win XP and install it on the second free partition.
  The Toshiba drivers needed should be downloaded from the Toshiba page.

  Hello

  You simply take a look in the manual of the user that was preinstalled on your laptop.
  On my laptop, the operating manual has been preloaded with too, and I could find all the necessary information concerning the upgrade of RAM.

  The manual says you can use PC2-5300 modules if the A300 would support the RS690M/PM965/GM965 chipsets. But if the laptop is equipped with Intel GL960 chipset, so you can only use the PC2-4200 modules.

  Using the Intel GL960 chipset you can extend the RAM to 2 GB (2 x 1 GB RAM)

  Hello

  eMachines is owned by Acer, Dell No.

  Here is the information IF you ever want to upgrade a computer to a later version.

  But I can advise you that your eMachine is capable of running Windows 2000 and Windows XP.

  http://www.eMachines.com/EC/en/us/content/drivers.html

  Put your model number in the link above > then search under operating system, provided drivers

  @@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@

  Depends on hardware configuration required on later operating systems, and also find out if the manufacturer of the laptop computer is supported and provides drivers for operating systems later as to whether it is possible or feasible to upgrade or not.

  There is no update free from XP to Vista, 7, 8.1, or 10.

  Forget Vista as support extended for Vista SP2 will end April 2017.

  Follow these steps before you buy Windows 7; Windows 7 SP1 to support extended to January 14, 2020.

  Microsoft sells more than 7; Try Amazon.com.

  Go to your computer / computer laptop manufacturer Web site and see if Windows 7 drivers are available for your make and model computer / laptop.

  If this is not available, Windows 7 will not properly work for you.

  Run the "Windows 7 Upgrade Advisor.

• Support for Windows XP. What is the best OS to install, Windows 8, 7, 8.1?

  I have Windows XP Professional and see that Windows XP will support ending April 8, 2014. My question is quite simple: what is the best operating system to install instead of XP? Is - this Windows 8, Windows 7 or Windows 8.1? I don't want a touchscreen application. I'm used to XP. I have a desktop computer with a lot of programs running at the same time, am constantly downloading big files and open the three browsers (MS IE, Google Chrome, Mozilla). I can't afford downtime if things stop grinding and safety is an important issue for me. I want to continue to receive updates. Any help from the community would be greatly appreciated. Has anyone had Windows XP Professional and already past to another OS? If Yes, what kind of problems you are having or, at the other end are things runnig smoothly?

  Thank you!

  I don't have personal experience with Win 8, so take the following with a grain of salt.  It is my understanding that Win 8 is really designed for touch screens, although it works without one.  There was a lot of vocal dissatisfaction with Win 8, but which can decrease as people get more used is a pretty important user interface change.

  I had XP Pro Win 7 Pro change quite easily.  In addition, if you plan to use your hardware even (rather than buying a new computer with Windows pre-installed), your old hardware is support Win 7 to 8 win more.

  My suggestion: go with Windows 7 Professional

  If you plan to install one of these operating systems on your current hardware, run these first:

• HP Z400s under spec for HD in CS4 edition. What is the best way to go?

  Hi all

  I recently bought the three HP Z400 workstations for editing XDCAM EX 1080i (HQ) a timeline in Premiere CS4. It's a very hasty and ill-informed purchase. Unfortunately I only came across the Adobe forum after that I ran into trouble with 1 and 2 workstations. After reading a lot of useful messages, it is quite obvious that new two of my machines have the ability to edit full HD 1080i chronologies stably.

  Before I describe my problems, I'll describe my system specs:

  Z400 1 workstation

  Windows XP 32-bit
  Xeon W3505
  3 GB RAM
  GPU: Quadro FX 1800
  C: 500 GB OS/programs
  D: 2 x 500 GB Raid 0 zero

  Z400 Workstation 2

  Windows XP 32-bit
  Xeon W3520
  3 GB RAM
  GPU: Quadro FX 3800
  C: 500 GB OS/programs
  D: 2 x 500 GB Raid 0 zero

  Z400 Workstation 3 (this machine works well and has not had stability problems)

  Windows Vista 64-bit
  Xeon W3540
  8 GB RAM
  GPU: Quadro FX 3800
  C: 500 GB OS/programs
  D: 2 x 500 GB Raid 0 zero

  While I was able to edit clips XDCAM EX 1080i HQ on all these systems, work stations 1 and 2 are very unstable, crashing regularly, especially when rendered.

  I'm a bit of a luddite when it comes to technology, so after reading through the many excellent posts here, I'm still not entirely sure which is the best way forward for me to put jobs 1 and 2 to the height. It is clear on reading these posts that I more capitalized on GPU cards, underestimated the importance of the RAM and committed a fundamental error of my choice of operating system:

  • In the spirit of the community - are the specs for Workstation 3 enough for stable HD editing?
  • What is the best solution with 1 and 2 workstations? Reader threads I guess I upgraded Vista 64 bit OS and spend at least 6 GB of RAM - it would be enough? If this is not the case, what do you suggest? In addition, the existing processors (w3505 and w3520) are quite fleshy for work?
  • And this could take liberties... all topics widely discussed on this forum; I'm having trouble getting my head around storage. What is the best configuration that I do with my current gear (z400 motherboard) for HD editing (including adding additional disks)?

  Thanks in advance... I'm not much of a techie, so all the words of wisdom are like gold dust.

  See you soon,.

  James

  Your CPU 3505 is only a dual core chip.  Certainly working on upgrading the CPU on a quad core.  I don't know if HP offers capabilities overclocking on this motherboard single processor.  If so, you could try prejudice overclocking guide lines since it is structurally almost identical to the i7-920.

  To the power of the processor which is the most important point for the creation, you can use one of these processors W3520 / W3540 / W3570 (2.66 to 3.20 GHz, 8 MB L2 cache) If you prefer do not overclock or if HP didn't you provided the functionality in the BIOS.

  Certainly wait (I think that it is the date) October 22 to Win 7 64 bit OS it is certainly faster than Vista 64.

  Incidentally, I don't know if you have ordered these units, but it may be useful to call HP and see if you are eligible for a free upgrade to Win 7.

• What is the best way to buy an iPhone Unlocked 7?

  Hi all

  I am currently using T-Mobile and want to get the new iPhone 7. Since there is no option for a sim-free iPhone, what is the best way to buy the new iPhone? Should I get the T-Mobile one full fare? I know that he will be released version but it will come with a T-Mobile sim so what will do with the sim card? Put it away or give it to T-Mobile? Or should I wait for the version without card sim to appear, which I don't think that will come out until November, and I don't want to wait that long.

  Thank you in advance.

  If you do not want to wait to pay full price for the model from T-Mobile.  You can do whatever you want with the SIM card.

  The recommended method for re-index/reconstruction is to open Spotlight preferences panel in system preferences, click on privacy. Now add the drive that you want to re - index to privacy window. Now delete this same player of the Privacy window, and it will now be indexed/rebuilt. No necessary terminal command.
