USB2 Vs SATA300: How To Fast It

Apr 4, 2008

I would like to have an external drive which is a USB2 but I'm not sure how fast it is. Does anyone know the difference in speed because I don't want to have to upload data to my hard drive then go to bed and the next morning it's still uploading.

SiI3132 - PCI Express (1x) To 2 Port SATA300

Jun 17, 2008

I bought a CFI Enclosure off newegg.com and is of the type: SiI3132 - PCI Express (1x) to 2 Port SATA300. I am able to install the card and seemingly install the drivers okay, but whenever I use the RAID software from silicon image: SiI 3132 32 & 64-bit Windows SATARAID5 Management Utility (1.51.8.10 B)

SATARAID5 Management Utility for 32 & 64-bit Windows supports RAID 0, 1, 5, and 10. Use this tool with the latest SATARAID5 drivers and BIOS. Latest SiI3132 SATARAID5 driver:1.5.18.0; Latest SiI3132 SATARAID5 BIOS:7.4.05_;_ see the associated readme and the latest SiI3132 documents.**

The tool always gives me an error that no sil3132 drivers were found on the system. The kicker is that I can see and use all four drives in the enclosure but the java-based tool doesn't seem to be looking in the right places for the drivers.

Booting Into X64 FAST

Feb 24, 2009

Someone once told me he could boot into vista x64 from cold in just 6 seconds, just cant believe that, he had a velociraptor in raid. I have a regular raptor and have tried every trick under the book to get a faster boot, normally take around a minute, even with a quadcore pc with 8gb ram... my partners laptop takes around 30 seconds off that and is nowhere near as powerful. Does anyone have any mega tips for fast boots apart from the dreaded hibernation? I even tried a OCZ SSD but thought they were a waste of money for the like 2 second difference.

Fast User Switching

Aug 7, 2008

Is there a way to get rid of the screen that comes up when I type Win/L? That's the one with the current user avatar and a Switch User button, it seems to serve no useful purpose, wasn't there on XP. Is there some way of making the User Account avatars more like those on XP? I have week eyesight and I can't discern which avatar has focus when I use arrow keys, so I have to use the mouse. On XP it was much more obvious which UA had focus. Is there some way to show the mail and process counts?

Optimizing Vista:Notresponds FAST

Jan 22, 2008

I have a reasonably fast computer that can run Vista with hardly any issues (Q6600 @ 3Ghz, 4GB RAM @ 1066MHz, GeForce 8800 GTS 640MB); I have a LOT of things running in the background, however. Some of these things are useful, some aren't. My question is: will spending several hours optimizing Vista (disabling Aero, disabling services, tweaking the registry, disabling start up of certain programs, removing Windows components, etc) result in any appreciable performance difference? Vista responds FAST, but not REALLY FAST. I think, however, that in my situation, it may be best to adopt the notion, "If it ain't broke, don't fix it."

Wireless USB Adapters As Fast As PCI Card?

Jun 10, 2009

I have to move my computer so I'll need to go wireless. Are those Wireless USB Adapters as fast as a PCI Card? Seems so easy to install, and if it's just as good, why not? My PC will be 6 feet from the router, but the signal will have to go through a 4-foot wall. (standard residential wall, drywall and wood 2x4's)

Fast Multiple Copies For Non-protected DVD?

Apr 29, 2009

I have created a DVD using Windows Vista DVD Maker. I need to make about a dozen copies to mail out to family and friends. What would be the fastest way to make copies of this DVD? I have only a single DVD burner in my PC. I thought maybe create an image of this DVD then burn from that. It takes over 2 hours to create the DVD from the project file in DVD Maker.

How To Convert DVD To MPEG4 Easy And Fast

Sep 29, 2009

If you have a good DVD video and want to share with others, you may need to convert DVD to MPEG4 in order to reduce its weight.For those who seldom do DVD to MPEG4 conversion, it may be troublesome when it comes to relative settings. With Leawo DVD to MPEG4 Converter,such troubles and worries are taken away. What left to you are only a few clicks within everyone's knowledge. You can also deal with the video through extra editing functions like extracting soundtrack, cropping out the black margin, cutting away head and tail, etc.

When the loading process is complete,a list of DVD video content is shown by titles and chapters. This information is contained in a file by an extension of .inf, so if you don't see the list, it is probably the inf file is missing or corrupted...........

Task Manager Moves Around Too Fast

Oct 31, 2009

My disk light is often constantly locked on solid during internet activity and I never know what is happening. I know I can bring up the Task Manager but it moves around too fast and the running apps are usually mysterious in what they are really doing. There must be a tool out there that takes the top two or three applications/processes that are causing the solid light and not only displays them but explain what their purpose is.

Fast Machine Is Slowed Down By Virtual Memory.

Jun 22, 2009

Running Vista Ultimate 64-bit on M6400 notebook with 16GB RAM.

With 16GB RAM does Vista really need any virtual memory?

My quad core, 16GB RAM notebook would be faster without hard drive access due to virtual memory.

Can I turm off virtual memory or set it to some very low value (possibly 0)?

My preference is to use the 16GB RAM and should that be insufficient then I decide which programs to close. I don't want Vista using 4GB, or 6GB RAM, etc., and continually writing/reading to HD which slows things down and does not make full use of the physical RAM present.

NVIDIA GeForce 8400 GS How Can Fast Loading

Nov 30, 2007

I am going to get a new PC and I'm undecided whether to be be happy with the 8400 that comes with or pay an extra £100 (£200) for 2 x 8500 ones. Obviously, the graphics would look nicer but would anything else be affected like how fast the loading time of the games are and do you get more frames per second?

I'll be attending a 5 day course, 8 hrs per day. I'd like to take my Vista laptop with me and record the voice. I'm worried that I'll run out of disk space pretty fast. Is there any software that would allow me to record in a compressed form straight away?

Video Playback Speed To Fast: With'chipmunk' Sound

Feb 21, 2009

source of video is a Sony DSC-H50 camera set to 'Std' record mode. Ifran reports: width 640 height 471 bitsperpixel 32 frames 378 (25.0 fps) length 15.12 seconds actual playback is too fast at about 9 seconds (Windows Media Player) with 'chipmunk' sound. playback on the camera is 15 seconds camera manual says that in 'Std' mode it should be about 17 frames/sec. Vista Home Premium, SP1, all patches from Automatic updates. Must be something in my setup as I don't see this as common in my Google search.

Computer Running Fast/loud After Vista Reinstall

May 7, 2010

I've had some trouble with my system - Dell XPS 630I - hibernation problems, not being able to set or go back to a Restore Point, etc. So I've had a Microsoft tech help me solve my problems in the last few weeks, and after finally coming to the 'Reinstall Vista' as the only solution, I reinstalled yesterday. I have not yet installed any drivers or Dell software, but, obviously, did get my internet capability back.

I'm not worried about getting my system back to normal working order eventually, but one thing has me concerned: My system is running so loud and fast constantly. Previously, when I turned my computer on, during the startup phase, it ran like this (loud and fast, noisy) until it reached the black screen with the colorful, Vista circle in the middle, at which point it quieted down completely and continued with the Windows startup. Does anyone know what it is that has my computer sound like its running so fast, and sounding so loud constantly. Is it going to be one of the system drivers that I will eventually load that will 'calm' my system down??

Did A Restore Full Backup And Also Used FAST (files And Settings Transfer Wizard)

Feb 11, 2009

Last week I upgraded a HPxw4400X workstation from WinXP Pro w/SP3 to Vista Business. I did a full backup and also used FAST (files and settings transfer wizard). However, I soon found out that the DVD drive was "broke". HP told me it was because of the upgrade. They said to do a fresh install. Did another backup, fresh install, then a restore. Had lots of problems with BSOD, but a selective restore got it working again. But he can't see MS Office, nor navigate to it. I can see it when logged in as an admin. I thought of copying files and folders between profiles (he has 3 of 'em - , ., and ..000). The former is the oldest so I thought I could copy the App Data and User Data over it'd work (in both Documents and Settings, and Users), but it didn't work. I've been here working on various issues for 28 hours, so I'm not thinking as clearly as I'd like.

X64 New Install: Slow Internet Connection In Normal Mode; Fast In Safe Mode

Oct 12, 2009

Using my ISP (Roadrunner Carolinas) speed test site; I get around 200 to 400 kbps download speeds using IE in normal mode. If I boot to Safe Mode, I get around 3500 to 4500 kbps, which is what it should be (this is what I used to get in normal mode before I re-installed Vista). Running the same speed test with Firefox, I get around 1500 to 2000 kbps in normal mode, but if I try to download a file it ransfers at only the 200 to 400 kbsp rate (if I'm lucky). Here's more detail about the system and what I've done so far:

Installed all updates including SP2.
Using Windows Firewall, no anti-virus.
Updated network drivers directly from NVidia (Chipset is nForce750i)
Updated graphics card drivers directly from NVidia
Disabled all LAN protocols except for Client for Microsoft Networks and IPv4
Connected via ethernet cable directly to cable modem, no router.
I've deliberately refrained from loading anything but the basics until I can get this sorted out..........

How Fast Modern Speech Recognition App' Translate Speech?

Oct 3, 2009

How fast can a modern speech recognition app' translate speech into text with no mistakes?In my case, 384 wpm, because that is the very fastest that I can speak, and still have another human understand what I am saying. Neither my hardware nor my software limited me, only the rate at which I talked limited me. My computer is a run of the mill model that has a 2.4 GHz Intel core 2 duo CPU. Ram is 4 GB. OS is Vista Ultimate, with all the patches............................
