• Satellite C660 - 28 d - first impressions

  I am happy to say that I just bought a toshi C660 28 d.
  It has the Intel i3 core clocked at 2.4 Ghz. Front side bus to 1066 MHz.
  I chose this model because it display 1080 p without glitching video youtube. Now that I have VLC, OpenOffice, Firefox, Gimp, DosBox, Process Explorer and a few other goodies installed, I'm a happy camper. I like same win7 now that I've discovered how to create a system restore point.

  First impessions are very good with the exception of three questions.
  1 / the touchpad with all its multi touch and the ability to scroll was so bad, I gave up and pulled out an old usb mouse out of the attic. Kept the thing "sulking" all the time and would take up to 5 seconds to move.

  Drive USB 2 speeds / diabolically slow. 1 MB/s when the connection through a hub 4 ports USB 2. An acceptable 20 MB/s when connected solo. But here is the best, according to the self supplied from routine Diagnostics there are two internal USB ports on this system, but only one is connected to the outside world. This connection is done via a hub 8 internal ports. It has only two ports can be used. I think it means that there are 40 MB/s of the port bandwidth go to waste here. If someone comes up with a brazing hack to work around the hub 8 ports I'm strongly tempted to embark.

  3 / this n wireless seems to be a bit of a lame duck. When I plugged in, we talked to 45Mbps. tonight we were able to connect to 58Mbps. My box wireless g connected to 56Mbps as it says on the Tin. It is any activity of 2.4 Ghz. Maybe I should try the 5Gig on my Netgear DGND3700 option.

  Well, the features and additional touchpad options must adjust.
  But this can be controlled and you can check the options of touchpad available in Control Panel-> mouse-> tab advanced-> avancΘs

  Brazing hack? I think that such procedure would undermine the mobo

• CPU upgrade question

  Hello. With me, I have a laptop HP's CTO 2000z-300. It's a great laptop! everything is great and has all the requirements, it needs, except for the fact that is equipped with a processor of amd E-300 series, which has a speed of 1.3 gHz. that's really frustrating and really keeps me from running various software I want. I would switch to 2 GHz, but based on my finndings around the internet. It seems as if the cpu is integrated with the motherboard and cannot be changed. For my part, here personally know if the upgradinng of my cpu is a possibility? This is the first time to help here. soplease give me on reaply via this forum or to send me. [email protected]

  Not a lot of good news for you. 1. the processor is soldered to the motherboard on the AMD HP2000z-300 series versions. Here's the best mother/CPU card, that you can install:

  For use only with the computer models equipped with a 1.65 GHz AMD E450 processor (dual-core, 18 W) and a graphic subsystem with UMA video memory 657323-001

  2. it is not yet 2 ghz.

  Here is the Manual:

  Manual

  See page 76 for a picture of the processor soldered on the AMD cards. HP offers the E450 card stock but it is $463.

  http://h20141.www2.HP.com/hpparts/Search_Results.aspx?mscssid=25A9A1ED163A47D0873EF8657361D899&SearchIn=PartNumber&SearchPN=657323-001

  The laptop is not and will not be worth the update. Besides replacing the motherboard is no a walk in the Park.

  Best advice: take the $463... add 200-$250 you can get for your laptop and buy something with an Intel i3 processor or better. Just be glad that you did not have the C50 AMD processor at 1 ghz. Your smartphone is likely with a more powerful processor. On most laptops, I am Advisor people upgrading to an SSD drive rather than an upgrade of the processor, but the AMD E-series models are the weaknesses of the HP range sister and the processor is a serious bottleneck. These laptops are made for Aunt Tillie publish on Facebook and not much more.

• X 220 CPU speed problems

  I saw my CPU it's maximum speed of 3.4 GHz the first time I had used to hit. After download and update all drivers Lenovo & Windows, etc., the speed seems to be stuck at 797,3 MHz, no matter what I do. I did adjust the settings via the power manager. BIOS is 1.21. Any help on this would be appreciated.

  Edit: This seems to happen only when I'm on a/c without battery and when it's on battery power only. It is fine when I am on a/c with a battery.

  You must run the laptop with the battery, if you want the full speed, you may need to upgrade to the 90 Watt adapter.

• XPS 15 9550 CPU speed is as low as 0.75 ghz after manually installed windows 10 with all the drivers installed and BIOS updated

  I just bought this XPS 15 9550 in January, and I really appreciate it at first.

  However, one day, as pushed microsoft update to 10586 version of windows 10 and the machine will always fail to install the update, so I decided to download the image file and install it myself.

  The installation went smooth, but after a few days use, I found the computer is very slow during playback of videos and games and I came to find the speed of the CPU shows the label of performance in the Task Manager always will be 0.75 ghz and 0.78 ghz. He cannot go above that. I also found that the use of the CPU cannot exceed 30%.

  I've already updated my BIOS to 1.1.19, reinstall the system, a few times, choose the battery mode high performance, etc and this does not help.

  I also downloaded the power of intel and found gadget for my processor power consumers are still weak and the speed of the CPU is always not 0.80 ghz.

  In addition, I encountered the problem that after plugin the AC power, the speed of the CPU will fall to 0.39 ghz...

  Someone at - it an idea of what is happening here and how can I solve the problem? I'll really appreciate it. Thank you.

  I had my problem is solved. Follow these steps:

  1. download gadget power intel, you can search online for it.

  2. check the power of your CPU (package pw...) rate and open the videos and applications that will constantly consume the CPU power. See if the power is still weak.

  3. If the power is still weak, try to update your BIOS (download dell drivers and the new version should currently be 1.1.20) and see if things are getting better.

  4. If the power is still low, you must contact dell technical service to replace your hardware (my computer has replaced the northbridge, southbridge, I forgot, but after replacing, the CPU works fine)

  Note: If you run games using your discreet graphics card, such as starcraft II and you found that it's extremely slow, it is possible that your cpu is capped.

• Upgrading my cpu speed zip files in Windows 7

  I currently have an i3-2100 (Socket 1155).  I compress TIFF files (137 MB each) in records of 15 or more.  It takes forever.  I checked my use of RAM and it runs around 37% while the zip compression and listen to trance music streaming from Youtube at the same time (from 4 MB of RAM installed) to get more RAM doesn't seem to be the solution.

  Would a processor "more powerful" speed things, hopefully much (stay with Socket 1155)?  Or is program of internal compression of W7 (what I want to continue to use it as people who receive my files zipped using Windows Explorer to decompress files) just by nature dog slow and isn't really dependent on cpu?  You know, it is what it is.

  So far no response.  If anyone has a suggestion for another forum post this question please let me know.

  Asked me to come back and "finish my thread.  Well, no answers here, so I asked on a photography forum and it has been suggested, I have try 7 - Zip.  This free program, in fact, compressed files JPEG and TIFF in about 1/20th, time to spend it as a Windows Flash program to accomplish its task.

  I also learned that seamer works better on text files and not so much on image files.  Indeed, a compressed jpeg file is about the same size as the original file.  A compressed tiff file password 137 mb 125 MB so some, but not much.  Why it takes so darn long comes mainly from transfer images JPEG in a different folder Windows is beyond me.  I assume that 7-Zip goes account that it does nothing more than to transfer them on and done it gets about as fast I could rename the original folder.

  Minimally, TIFF, 7-Zip compresses and gets it done almost immediately.  Windows takes 30 minutes or more.

  Discussion was going and came on whether or not would help more RAM.  The consensus is that it is not useful.  What helped was to use 7 - Zip.

  I also tried to pass like a Flash on a different computer on W7, I (an older i5 which has a four true cores) and it was slower in the Windows program as this computer.  This computer has an i3-2100, but has hyperthreading.  Given that 7-Zip can use hyperthreading maybe thats why it is so much faster.  Who knows.

• VMs will be running not because of a poor estimate of CPU speed

  I recently installed the drive on a Windows 7 PC.  I can create virtual machines, but when I try to start them, I get the error:

  ASSERT d:/build/ob/bora-894247/bora/vmcore/vmx/main/timeTracker_user.c:232 bugNr = 148722

  followed by:

  Power error: cannot find a valid peers to connect to.

  During my research, I found 1227 KB which deals with this issue and recommend the insertion of three lines in the config.ini file.  In my config.ini file I've specified these values:

  host.cpukHz = "1900000".
  host.noTSC = 'TRUE '.
  ptsc.noTSC = 'TRUE '.

  I tried with just host.cpukHz setting at first, then added the other after that didn't work.  Also, I turned on sync time with host on all computers three virtual I created.  None of these things helped.

  I also found this post that refers to this problem being attributed to an incorrect estimate of the speed of the CPU.  I checked this on my system, and according to the host.maxKHzestimate.value registry value, my processor is estimated at 40,04 GHz.  (No, this isn't typo.)  Not coincidentally, I'm sure, the system in Windows screen shows the same incorrect reading.  I deleted these registry values several times and restarted the computer (and the player), but the estimate is always re-created to 40,04 GHz.

  The processor in this system is an Intel Core 2 Quad Q9400 @ 2 .66GHz, but I actually have underclocked to 1.9 GHz.  CPU - Z recognizes the speed correctly ~1.9GHz.  I have no idea whence the estimate of 40GHz.

  Just to be sure, this wasn't a problem with the virtual machines created on this system, I tried to copy a machine virtual work known from another system, but I get the same errors.

  It is a Windows 7 freshly installed PC - Player was one of the first pieces of software that I have loaded.

  Does anyone have any ideas on how I could get this thing working?

  It looks like a problem of security policy.  To apply the configuration options that you have added to the config.ini file, the user account must have the right to SeIncreaseWorkingSetPrivilege security.  Normally, this right is granted to all accounts default user.  If you are unable to grant this right to the user account for any reason, you should be able to set the configuration options in C:\Users\USERNAME\AppData\Roaming\VMware\config.ini instead.

• U350 (Intel SU2300) memory speed question

  Hi all

  I was wondering, is there a way to increase the speed of the memory in u350?

  Module of memory in my u350 is Hyundai ddr3 rated at 533 mhz (1066 mhz ddr) but it works

  by default, only 400 mhz (800 mhz ddr).

  Supports the module memory, chipset (Intel GS45 almost certainly supports it) I do not have

  See a reason why ram should run at low speed and then he pointed to work to...

  is cpu maybe limit it?

  TNX for the answer

  To exy s initial question:

  "Supports the module memory, chipset (Intel GS45 supports almost certainly it) I do not have.

  See a reason why ram should run at low speed and then he pointed to work to... »

  Modules are designed to operate at different speeds.

  The processor and chipset are designed for low power usage.

  Memory speed is equal to the lowest energy consumption. (And more strict timings of memory)

  Looks like a good choice for me, FSB/MEM = 1 / 2 = 800/400

  Most of the laptops I've seen opt for low mem speed and better timings.

  (6 6-6-18 vs 7-7-7-20 for example)

  And not a very noticeable difference in performance, IMO.

  But looks like a design for low power usage decision.

  I'd be willing to bet that you get very good battery life.

• Issue of FT on different CPU speed

  Hello

  I'm about to set up a new ESX Cluster with differences only on processors below.

  Server-A has processor X 5550

  Server-b processors E5520

  See below for the exact details.  Processors are of the same family, the only differences are the GHz and QPI speeds.

  Number of processor	Intel® QPI speed	L3 Cache memory	Processor Base frequency	Max Turbo frequency	Power	Number of cores	Number of Threads
  X 5550	6.4 GT/s	8 MB	2.66 GHz	3.06 Ghz	95 W	4	8
  E5520	5.86 GT/s	8 MB	2.26 GHz	2.53 Ghz	80 W	4	8

  My question is if it is possible to configure FT on the virtual machines by using the differences above the CPU?

  If anyone knows, it is supported by VMware.

  Thanks in advance

  Hello.

  Will support you with this config, as two procs are in the Intel Xeon based on the category of micro-architecture Core i7.  See KB 1008027 for details.  There are also some very good information in the "[the design and evaluation of a practical system for VMS outages | ]. [http://www.VMware.com/resources/TechResources/10134] "technical document that explains how the differences in frequency of the processor are managed.

  Good luck!

• Re: Tecra M5 PTM51E - CPU upgrade question

  Hi, I have Tecra M5 PTM51E model with processor Yonah T2600 (2.16 ghz, 667fsb) core duo, a few days ago that I just replaced the processor with core 2 duo - Merom T7400 (2.16 ghz, fsb667) and everything works almost well... the processor is correctly recognized, I was able to install win7 64 bit.

  The only problem I have is the fan speed, it goes full speed laptop to stop, I have the latest BIOS 3.70, Toshiba Power Saver - no matter what I put the fan goes 100% speed, temperatures are ok, HWmonitor presents the 28-30 C idle and 60 in stress and fan was cleaned up during the replacement of the central processing unit.

  I guess I need media diagnosis/service of toshiba to set correct values for the speed of the fan on the processor?

  I appreciate any suggestions, thanks!

  > I upgraded the CPU. It works very well outside the CPU fan runs constantly at 100%

  You have installed a stronger CPU that is faster and produces more heat dissipation.
  It s nothing unusual that your fan runs faster.
  The cooling module must run more quickly to make sure that the CPU would be cooled properly.

  Series: No.: 1a511094k

  The processor I have now is the i3 330

  Is this possible and can you link me where to buy the right one which suitable to my laptop

  > Is it possible?
  Perhaps, in the case of the new processor would be supported by the BIOS and chipset, you ve got a good chance to upgrade the processor.
  But Toshiba but also other laptop manufacturers don t support these updates and so everything you do is at your own risk!

  First I would recommend you to get information about your chipset. Intel ARK page you might check what processors would be supported by the chipset.
  Fact is that this series of mobile were equipped with the Intel Dual Core CPU Intel Arrandale CPU family. In case you really want to try a new processor, I suggest you to choose one of this family.

  But beware: even if chipset would support the new processor, the BIOS can be one of the parties causing disorders. Unfortunately I haven't found any information which processors can be taken in charge by the BIOS

• upgrade cpu XW8600 question

  I have a xw8600 works two Xeon E5420 processors, an EVGA GTX580, 1 SSD, 2 HARD disk, 16 GB of RAM 3 GB and 2 scanners on the power graphics card standard 800 watts.   Currently, all readings of temperature I can access are in the normal range.

  I'm considering upgrading processors X 5460 Xeons.  Is it possible to determine if the 80 extra watts needed running the Xeons X 5460 will be an overload of the power of 800 watts power?

  First of all, load the latest version of the BIOS for the xw8600 if you have not already done this.

  You run two TDP max 80 Watt processors, and X 5460 are each 120 watts.  The amount of material you have xw8600 is not excessive, and your food will manage this total 80 watts extra without problem.

  You'll want to read on the 'performance' radiator/fans for these processors power more high... aka "double-height' we talked about here.  Search for both terms.  Double coconut trees have two fans, a little different wiring and better cooling capacity.  They make more noise, of course.  Speaking of which, on my xw8400 my fan base speed up when I am with 16 GB of RAM, but not with 12 GB.  Here is a link to my previous post on the "large double" thermal performance heat sink / fan xw8600 and use of it in a xw8400.  There is information here that is worth reading:

  /T5/workstations-z-series-XW-series/XW8600-performance-double-tall-fan-modification-for-xw8400/m-p/5846271#M13965

  Lets say you really just want the zip but aren't going to be hammering those hard processors.  You probably could if away with sticking with your original radiator/fan and first watch your time QuadCore with HWMonitor (free) for you ensure that your workload does not heat stress while get you an idea of how things are going.  It is clear from previous work on the wiring for a project xw8400 that adding a shunt sense rpm 3-Socket 5 plug wire would be how to usurp map mother xw8600 thinking that it was a 'performance' heatsink thermal / fan installed.  It would be to see RPM sense data for both fans of radiator/2 double height of Socket 3 and 5 this way, which is what a xw8600 wired in peripheral stock provides.  The motherboard can recognize that a higher power processor has been installed.  Alternatively, just buy two of the double coconut off eBay.

  X 5460 on eBay are about 140.00 for two, used and you want the latest sSpec code which is SLBBA.  Furthermore, you cannot use the processors that do not appear in the BIOS firmware, and you see the list of the latest version of xw8600 QuickSpecs.

  Given that Intel sells about 1250.00 new X 5460 with this code sSpec each sounding like an eBay project.  Search eBay under "SLBBA".

  I have a xw8400 I upgraded to 2 x X 5365 Quad-cores, also 120 watts max TDP, and fans of heatsink of heat/2 high double devices did not exist for the xw8400... so I got a xw8600 double height and a large single and did the mod wiring posted on the forum here to reproduce the wiring diagram of the xw8400 (different from the the xw8600 wiring diagram).  The processor under the single large turn a bit warmer than under the double height, but not by much.  I did run them simultaneously for months, no problem.  There are pictures and much more in this post.  So personally I would like to experiment with the great one more rider RPM wire 3 to 5 first approach and use type xw6600/xw8600 heatsink / fan already appropriated you.

  Hi, Victor:

  According to the specifications, this should not be a problem...

  http://h20564.www2.HP.com/hpsc/doc/public/display?docid=emr_na-c03029649

  According to the parts list, there is only one model of system map, so it shouldn't matter what processor you install, as long as it's one of the reasons mentioned in the first link I posted.

• Satellite Pro L20-PSL25E - CPU upgrade question

  Hello

  I upgraded the ram last year and im running high-performance for my model, 2.0 GB.

  This really helped for awhile, but after a few heavy programs have been installed this year (only one software, one game) ive noticed it running slow as before, its worth noting that my computer has adopted all the necessary specifications for both outside the game where im working on 1.7 ghz and it needs the least 2.0 ghz processor , and I'm short on speed slowest peformance of the game itself.

  The vehicle has currently a centrino pentium, keeping in mind a new portable computer is not in my budget, is it worth getting a new processor and which would be best?

  Thanks again, Rebecca.

  Hello

  My personal opinion is that Satellite L20 is not designed for heavy operations and is certainly not game machine. If you compare the price of Satellite and Satellite L laptops you'll understand why. I'm sure that this laptop is designed for Internet, office and simple every day activities.

  Upgrading RAM is very good and I'm sure it helps a lot but CPU upgrade is not the solution. Update CPU is not supported. You must also understand that each hardware platform is designed for optimal physical activity. Processor, graphics, cooling system and other hardware components must work without overheating and harmonic. Stronger CPU means more heat.

  In my opinion you should optimize operating system preinstalled software hoping you use will work better and more stable.
