Hi,
I would not pay much for 10% higher frequency, assuming the FSB frequency is the same
(I rhink it is 800MHz for both).
I would not pay much for twice the cache size unless my main application would fit
in the larger one while not fitting the smaller one, which is very unlikely.
I would rather spend some money in getting:
- faster memory if my app is not disk bandwidth limited;
- faster disk, or a second disk, if it is (such as Visual Studio);
- more memory (unless you run only one or a few apps at a time).
As a software developer (with mainly small apps) the T7250 IMO is the ideal CPU right now,
it is the cheapest one with 800MHz FSB (so was the 1.8GHz T7100 earlier).

Thanx for you suggestions. What you said is true, just 10% increased cpu wont make big difference.

Why are you doing it ten times? Are you trying to kill the system? If so then why? You dont need proof that windows in unstable and buggy.

Two things I can think of. One each install/uninstall cycle represents testing a new build. The second is that the OP is testing the installs success under multiple somewhat different environments using the same OS install and just fiddling with the other stuff.
Otherwise [Microsoft is] toast in the long term no matter how much money they've got. They would be already if the Linux community didn't have it's head so firmly up it's own command line buffer that it looks like taking 15 years to find the desktop.

I doubt it, unless the guy likes pain. Its easier to either copy over the sys file or use .kdfiles off of WinDbg.

More likely. However, if the test doesnt reflect a valid use case then why do it?
Evetyone knows windows is fragile and easy to kill, whats the point proving it?

I have added USB wireless adapter to my Windoze (2000 Advanced Server - please do not laugh!). Its status is Enabled but the OS still uses the wired PCI card.
1. How does OS determine which network adapter to use?
2. Why does the "status" of wireless show "cable unplugged" at times?
3. It seems that the LAN device cannot be enabled / disabled in Control Panel with any confidence. It is a hit and wait and try again affair.
I am just asking because I have seen similar behavior in plain old vanilla serial RS232 interface. And NO, I'll not run out to "upgrade" to Vista Exceptionally Super SP12 XXL version.

If you have multiple network adapters connected, the system is multi-homed. The decision as to which route packets take is dependent on:
1. The routing table.
2. The 'weight' given to each network interface.
Strictly the weight is part of the routing table, but takes effect only if identical routes are discovered.
The IP routing table can be made incredibly complex, but for most systems not otherwise configured, you basically get a default route (to 0.0.0.0 masked 0.0.0.0, i.e. anywhere) configured to use your default gateway via each interface, with a weight. The wired network card will typically get given a lower weight and be preferred to the wireless card. Likewise each card will have a route for the IP and mask it's configured for. If the cards are on the same network, again the wired card will be preferred.
If the cards are on different networks (IP ranges), packets for the wired card's network should go to the wired card and vice versa. Packets for other networks will go to whichever card the default gateway is nearest to. If there are multiple 'default gateways' the weight again controls which is used.
The routes for the wired card will be (or should be) removed if the OS detects that the cable has been unplugged. Only then will the wireless card be used.
You can view the routing table by issuing the route print command.
Example: I have a wired network card and a wireless card. I'm running Windows Vista. My IPv4 routing table is, with both enabled and in good coverage:
Network Destination Netmask Gateway Interface Metric
0.0.0.0 0.0.0.0 192.168.1.1 192.168.1.2 20
0.0.0.0 0.0.0.0 192.168.1.1 192.168.1.4 25
127.0.0.0 255.0.0.0 On-link 127.0.0.1 306
127.0.0.1 255.255.255.255 On-link 127.0.0.1 306
127.255.255.255 255.255.255.255 On-link 127.0.0.1 306
192.168.1.0 255.255.255.0 On-link 192.168.1.2 276
192.168.1.0 255.255.255.0 On-link 192.168.1.4 281
192.168.1.2 255.255.255.255 On-link 192.168.1.2 276
192.168.1.4 255.255.255.255 On-link 192.168.1.4 281
192.168.1.255 255.255.255.255 On-link 192.168.1.2 276
192.168.1.255 255.255.255.255 On-link 192.168.1.4 281
224.0.0.0 240.0.0.0 On-link 127.0.0.1 306
224.0.0.0 240.0.0.0 On-link 192.168.1.2 276
224.0.0.0 240.0.0.0 On-link 192.168.1.4 281
255.255.255.255 255.255.255.255 On-link 127.0.0.1 306
255.255.255.255 255.255.255.255 On-link 192.168.1.2 276
255.255.255.255 255.255.255.255 On-link 192.168.1.4 281The wired card has address 192.168.1.2 while the wireless card is 192.168.1.4. You can see I have two routes for the 192.168.1.x network, with the wired card having weight 276 compared to wireless 281, so the wired card is preferred. Multicast is on 224.x.x.x and again wired is preferred to wireless and loopback (weight 306). Broadcasts (all-ones and 192.168.1.255) are all weighted to wired as well. Packets addressed to the loopback network (127.0.0.0) all go to the loopback interface. Finally, there are the two default routes and both state to send to 192.168.1.1, but again the wired network takes priority.
Why does the "status" of wireless show "cable unplugged" at times?
Most likely you're out of range or on the borders of coverage. Windows 2000 does not understand wireless cards, so the card reports poor network performance as 'cable unplugged', so that the OS can make better routing decisions. If you care, get an OS (e.g. XP SP2) which understands wireless cards.
Vaclav_Sal wrote: It seems that the LAN device cannot be enabled / disabled in Control Panel with any confidence. It is a hit and wait and try again affair.
I've not seen this behaviour, but it can take a while for wireless devices to associate with a network. They are also supposed to disassociate from the base station when being disabled, which should be acknowledged, which could take a while to time out if out of coverage.

Take out the LAN cable. This wil kill the IP address for it and remove it from therouting table. Give the system about 5 seconds and your wireless card will become the default IP route.

Hi all
m having Seagate Barracuda 80 GB HDD some days before i use all memory of it, but currently it display only 32 GB i checked it`s Jumper setting and all possible tricks but it still shows 32GB

Which O/S are you using?? What's the drive partitioned as?? What was the partition formatted with?? FAT, FAT32, NTFS??

M using
Windows XP, Drive Partitioned as Promary & Logical within Extended and partition formated as FAT32
but when i check HDD in Partition Magic 8 it display 32GB
before some days i used 76GB out of 80Gb

Windows XP will not create FAT32 partitions bigger than 32GB. You have to use a different tool to do so. The reason is that Microsoft believe that NTFS is a better choice on larger drives.
If you really need to use FAT32 on this drive you could try this FAT32 Formatter[^] which supports >32GB partitions.

Is it possible to get the data back from a partition that was replaced by a ghost image.I have a partition that got mistakenly replace by a image that was supposed to be of another partition.Anybody have any experience

It depends on a few factors:
-Was the image applied at a sector level? (eg, the image contains 100mb of an OS and 10GB of blank data (00), does it even overwite with blank data?)
-Did the image overwrite the sectors of data which you want to recover?
Im sure you wont be able to use any simple 1-click program to revert the whole partition, but what you could start with is using some hex editor to open the drive (as a physical medium, and or the partition itself) and then look at the sectors for data which may be recoverable, and of interest, an example of such a program is WinHex.
Thats a start...
However how to go from there depends on alot of factors, such as type of data, file system of the original and new partition, OSes and so on...
Hope you can atleast get something back... 
//Johannes

Nope. You overwrote the data in the partition beyond any hope of getting it back.
|
|
|
|
|
IF the data you need to recover was actually overwritten (as opposed to being marked as empty) you're almost certainly going to have to contact a professional firm and pay $big bucks. Even if it wasn't overwritten trying to examine it via a hex editor to find missing files isn't viable unless you only need to recover a handful of non binary files. Unfortunately you're more or less SOL.
Otherwise [Microsoft is] toast in the long term no matter how much money they've got. They would be already if the Linux community didn't have it's head so firmly up it's own command line buffer that it looks like taking 15 years to find the desktop.

guys i need help! i have a problem my pc just hangs in the middle of something it just simply stops responding.. 
if someone could please try to help me figure out which part could be the defective one...
mother board? msi kt4av (socket a)
..its a newly replaced motherboard , but with the same model and its already used and not brand new.. <-am thinkin this could be the one
memory? i have 256 ddr 2(pcs) and i tried already to put one first.. (still hangs) then tried the other one too but still the same.. my pc still hangs in the middle of my game or sometimes even browsing only on the net
processor? i also upgraded my processor from 1.2 athlon to 1.7 athlon also.. could this be the problem? but its working fine sometimes but sometimes not
video card? nvidia fx550 256 mb 128 bit
but i can play games like warcraft, gta san andreas with it before and still now..
power supply? 400 watts
could this be my problem? could there be power shortage?
i know my pc is kinna pretty old.. and just might suggest to buy a new one.. but i dont have budget yet.. and i do have a plan of buying 'AMD Phenom 9500 Quad Core' that would be.. how much.. too damn expensive yet..
any help would be appreciated...
and thanks again in advance
i never really like this... being a programmer...whhargghh!!

First i would go about finding out if it actally is a hardware problem, as it could just be windows thats all broken down. A simple way to test this is to burn out a Linux live on CD (Like Knoppix or Ubuntu) and then sit and click around in that for a while, surf the web, check email etc. If it still crashes then hardware is you problem. If not, then windows/program/malware is the problem. (a re-install would probably help)
If its hardware it can be anything really, RAM is an important part in any computer, but it could just as well be any other part.
It could also be that some setting in your BIOS is overclocking your computer/parts of it, this is a common reason for freezing, so maybe you should load BIOS defaults too.
This type of problem can be hard, as anything can affect everything else (in a odd way)...
I hope this is a start...

ei thanks!
i ll try to reset my bios i havent try that.. and i wish that would solve this..
i havent done any overclocking yet but yeah maybe the previous user of my motherboard tried something else..
also i ll try to burn out too.. but first i need to download the ubuntu or knoppix but i think it will finish downloading tomorrow cause its more than 500 mb size..
i never really like this... being a programmer...whhargghh!!

download a memtest86 CD, boot it, have it run a stress test overnight. If it passes with no errors you've proved the ram innocent. Running prime95 (24hrs per test type) in windows will stress your CPU and to an extent your mobo/ram. If it's erroring out you've got a hardware problem.
If your new CPU uses more power than the old one but you're using the same heatsink it might be overheating and crashing. For a socketA board motherboard monitor should be able to keep an eye on your CPU temp. If you're going above 60C it might be a problem, 70C definitely would be. To test the PSU, get a multimeter and with the system fully loaded check the voltage between +5V(red) and ground(black) and +12V(yellow) and ground in the ATX plug. Depending on the probes you might need to supplement with bent paperclips to make contact. +-5% is within spec anything outside is a problem.
Otherwise [Microsoft is] toast in the long term no matter how much money they've got. They would be already if the Linux community didn't have it's head so firmly up it's own command line buffer that it looks like taking 15 years to find the desktop.

thanks guys for all your replies man and guess what!!? 
last night i did reset the bios to default and i think it did solve it
cause ive used it more than 5 hrs straight without halting..
before it hangs just within an hour.. and last night i did enjoy playing my warcraft(DOTA) and had a 'BEYOND GOD LIKE' ai hero killings hehe!! thanks to johpoke and also to dan neely
but i still need to to burn out to be sure.. and yeah i should check my cpu temp..
you guys are great man i love this site more than ever
i never really like this... being a programmer...whhargghh!!
