Speeding up your system


Recommended Posts

Please hense this is only a find i thought member would find usful and yet i have not tested because i have a amd cpu.

Any way this program i found by intel for intel systems that will boost the performance of a user's system by optimizing the data between CPU and the HDD disc.

This is done by replacning windows drivers for the HDD and and replacing optimized ones for your motherboard. Overall speeding up various aspects of the system.

What do you need?

Intel CPU and Intel Chipset.

heres a list of supported chip sets.

First, your link is messed up. This is the link :

http://http//www.intel.com/support/chipsets/IAA/

Kept just redirecting to Microsoft.com till I actually looked at the link and removed the part I bolded there.

I went through all the steps, read everything, before trying it, made sure my chipset is compatible. Installed pretty easy, used steps in readme file to verify its installed right and working. My system was pretty well tweaked and maintained before installing it so was pretty fast already. Does seem to be a bit of a differance I guess, certain things do seem faster and smoother now.

And now for the question I probly should have asked before trying it. Is it actually recomended to use this, as it says this on the site.

End of Interactive Support Announcement

These products are no longer being manufactured by Intel. Additionally, Intel no longer provides interactive support for these products via telephone or e-mail, nor will Intel provide any future software updates to support new operating systems or improve compatibility with third party devices and software products.

Don't nVidia have a similar feature in their nForce chipset drivers? Nice find mate, just a couple years too late :).

They put these in the chipset drivers now so these are useless.

I'm not sure that's true. Intel has newer versions of the Application Acclerator, but now it is called Matrix Storage Manager or Matrix Storage Technology. It is required for various RAID configurations, but Intel also recomends it for single HDD systems to boost performance, just like the Application Acclerator. Maybe someone who understands this stuff better than me can check it out and tell us all who might want to try this out and who shouldn't bother. I'm wondering if I should install it.

FYI, if you want to install the newer version of this utility/driver, which is called Intel Matrix Storage Manager, you have to enable certain options in your BIOS before/during Windows installation. I just figured that out after wasting a bunch of time reading the support pages on Intel's website, which makes it sound like all you have to do is run the .exe installer and reboot.

Here's a guide to enabling the BIOS functions after Windows is already installed, but it sounds too risky for me. I'll just have to wait until I do a clean install:

how can i know,if my hardware is compatible?

Nombre del SO: Microsoft Windows XP Home Edition

Versi?n del SO: 5.1.2600 Service Pack 2 Compilaci?n 2600

Nombre del sistema: D30610C1

Fabricante del sistema: Dell Inc.

Modelo del sistema: 0WG855

Procesador: Intel? Pentium? D CPU 2.80GHz

Versi?n/fecha del BIOS: Dell Inc. 1.0.3 , 08/14/2006

http://downloadfinder.intel.com/scripts-df...x?ProductID=861

I downloaded that to see if I what my chipset was and I got this.

Chipset

Detected Chipset:

Chipset Components

Memory Controller: Failed to identify your chipset

I/O Controller: Failed to identify your ICH

Don't worry, got it through Device Manager anyway.

    • NirLauncher 1.30.24 by Razvan Serea NirLauncher is a suite of more than 200 of NirSoft's excellent portable freeware Windows utilities, and provides an interface that makes it easy to find and launch the tools you need. Which works for us - because there's something here for everyone. Have you forgotten a password stored in your browser or email client, for instance? Recovery tools here may be able to find them for you. Maybe you'd like to check your hard drive health? A disk tool will display its S.M.A.R.T. data (if the drive supports this), so you can view read/ write errors, temperature and other useful details. Is your system unstable? The System Utilities section includes several tools that can help to explain why your PC might be crashing. And there are a host of other programs on offer in categories like "Network Monitoring", "Web Browser Tools", "Video/ Audio Related Utilities", "Outlook/ Office Utilities" and more. Please note, perhaps because a few of these tools can be used maliciously (the password revealers, say), some antivirus programs will flag them as threats. We've never had a problem with any NirSoft tool, though, and you can read more on this issue at the author's site. NirLauncher is an excellent set of free tools, and a must-have for everyone's portable troubleshooting toolkit. NirLauncher Features: NirLauncher can be used from USB flash drive without need of any installation. NirLauncher and all the utilities in the package are completely freeware, without any Spyware/Adware/Malware.

It will not install any software on your system and it will not change your Web browser homepage or other settings on your system. NirLauncher package includes variety of tools that you may need for your daily computer use, including utilities to recover lost passwords, to monitor your network, to view and extract cookies, cache, and other information stored by your Web browser, to search files in your system, and more... For every utility in the package, you can easily run it, view the help file, or jump to the Web page of the utility. When using it from USB flash drive, the configuration of every utility is saved into .cfg file on the flash drive. On x64 systems, NirLauncher automatically run the x64 version of the utility, when there is a separated x64 version. NirLauncher also allows to add more software packages in additional to the main NirSoft package. NirLauncher allows you generate plugin files for BartPE (Launcher -> Generate BartPE Plugin Files), so you can easily use the utilities of NirSoft from a bootable live windows CD.

    • What people who support this position of LibreOffice do not understand is that EuroOffice is not made to appease the open source enthusiasts (I am also one) and evangelists. EuroOffice was made because some European companies wanted independence from Microsoft Office Suite, which is something installable on your computer. This move to independence was pushed by public institutions and governments in Europe, as well. Using a proprietary FORMAT as default, does not make you dependent on MS. The actual program does. A format can be changed with a simple update in the future in a dystopian world where MS would manipulate the format to lock others out. However, using MS Office proprietary format, guarantees that all the current documents used by companies, organizations, institutions, etc, will be compatible with EuroOffice and the suite will have the best chances at adoption, especially by slow moving organizations like governments and the public sector. It is as simple as that. For the same reason, even the UI is incredibly similar to MS Office. For the same reason (adoption) the choice was made to be open source. Not because EU particularly loves open source ideologically, but because it gives the best starting point to create trust in the project and amass developers and contributions to the project quickly, to catch up with proprietary projects like MS Office. I don't understand how people don't realize it.
    • How old is this tip? Seems 15-20 years old? Processor states for the CPU under Windows power options has been a thing for a long, long time. It certainly isn't new or hidden... Also, with laptops it doesn't make any difference what OS you are running, all of them are configured for battery longevity over performance, for obvious reasons. Wanted to add as well that most systems in use currently do burst as setup in the uefi bios settings, and usually when a setting is "hidden" like this in Windows it's because it's either obsolete or it is redundant--doesn't override the bios and the CPU drivers. There is a lot of crap in the registry that needs to come out...;) It's hamless and might consume 1-2kb of space in total, though.
    • I can't believe Starmer is still there...his party lost so big. He's a stubborn coot, but this is largely unenforceable, so I would imagine he'll be resigning soon. A key here is for parents to buy their kids phones sans Internet access--and set up the Internet at home, where mom and day can, you know, act like parents instead expecting the government to raise their kids.
