Re: [H] WCPUID by H.Oda
do the new intel cpu's throttle up and down like the amd chips do ? fp Now, I get to research why my new E8400's seem to loaf along at only 2.0GHz instead of 3.0GHz. Not really a problem because otherwise these machines "feel like" they are visually quicker that the previous AMD Barton 2500+ cpus. Very happy with this upgrade.
Re: [H] approval was Re: Sony ?
thanks Jim
BTW I shrunk the d partition and extended the c partition to make it simple
for the folks :{)

Beacause you are sending mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED] and it
is the the correct address :) Just hardware@hardwaregroup.com
BTW, how come my posts need approval ? I get a mail back to that affect.
Just wondering.

Was/is a recovery partition?
Weird, got a Sony notebook in for service, full drive.
I free'ed up 1gb on the boot partition but further investigation shows
TWO
partitions on what looks like a 20gb drive with a 7,5gb FAT32 boot
partition and the rest NTFS
WTF. Hesitate to merge these partitions.
Curious why Sony did this.

Re: [H] Sony ?
no, c (fat32 is boot) converted to NTFS but did not geive me anymore room. Started out with 214mb free, now has 1.75GB free. Set swap on D and removed all the crap.

Re: [H] Sony ?
fat32 was boot, ntfs has no recovery info. Older system (500MHz) I assume first partition for OS but nobody even knows to install on D. Hesitate to merge, delete D. Format reinstall better but not my call. Thanks - Original Message - From: "Tharin Olsen" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: Sent: Wednesday, December 26, 2007 10:33 AM Subject: Re: [H] Sony ? I would also think that it is some sort of recovery partition. Very common now to see NTFS partition and Fat32 partitions on Tier1 systems. Usually the FAT32 partition will be hidden and it is actually the first partition on the drive and the NTFS drive will be the working partition for XP or Vista. 7.5gb of a 20gb drive though seems a bit wasteful. -Tharin Olsen Jim Edwards <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: Was/is a recovery partition?

Re: [H] restoring policy's ?
some of these I had, the combofix did not. got my permissions bad. So far so good, looks like it might fly. Still had a persistant ( internet speed control ) or something to that affect. superspyware remover seems so far to have got that. I may still install my webroot sw and do another scan. running more av scans. gpedit is still defunc but no biggy. thanks fred - Original Message - From: Tharin Olsen To: The Hardware List Sent: Tuesday, October 02, 2007 12:57 PM Subject: Re: [H] restoring policy's ? Download any of the tools below. I think the first two, SDFix and ComboFix, are the most recent. Essentially they are self-extracting archives with batch scripts that will reset the changed policy settings, scan for various trojans and malware, then give you a final report when its over. If you understand what details the report has it can clue you in on whether there is more material that needs to be dealt with. Run them while in safe mode.

Then re-run one of the tools I posted the links for. If those steps dont take care of it it may be better to just format and start over. -Tharin O.

FWIW even in safe mode countrol panel applets do not work.

If so you can see if anything runs there. Also, Check the Task Manager and see if there is any software running that looks fishy (Pun intended). There is a lot of Spyware that locks computers down and do not let you run certain utilities. I have seen this in the past. The funny thing is the person who owns the computer has no idea how they got in there.

I agree, but sometimes the journey is educational.

Is it really worth it to try to clean? Are you sure a nice clean re-install wouldn't be better? I always suggest people stay away from remediation because your only depending on tools and their signatures and trust me even the best AV doesn't have very good coverage. Most malware these days are also web based so they download newer versions from the web. So 1 piece of malware will usually result in 5-10 new pieces of malware downloaded.

[H] SLI ?
This is probably a stupid question but it was aked me by a customer.
Does SLI allow for higher resolution like for a GIANT monitor? what I mean
is, support higher resolution then just one by itself.
Have not had the pleasure or desire to play there :{(
