Are the RAM module or CPU required to boot the motherboard? What is the minimal configuration to boot into BIOS? The motherboard I need to boot is a mediocre ASUS socket LGA775.
I have tried using Multirow Bookmarks Toolbar Plus and Roomy Bookmarks Toolbar Firefox add-ons, but the problem is that they are constantly stressing my CPU (even when idling). It probably has something to do with version 11 of the browser. Anyway, is there some clean way to increase the height of the bookmarks toolbar?
I've read a lot of articles that refer to userChrome.css and I have tried a dozen solutions, but none worked because they were outdated. Please help me with this.
How do you forcibly uninstall Eclipse 3.5 plugins without using Eclipse? I made the mistake of installing Google's Android SDK, and now when I try to check for updates via the "Check For Updates" or "Install New Software", some Android process runs, consumes all my CPU, takes up 3 gigs of memory, and crashes Eclipse. I can't even get to the uninstall dialog before Google's plugin kills everything.
I recently built this new PC but I notice most games are not running as well as I had hopped, Tribes, Skyrim, Saints Row the Third and Serious Sam 3 for example. Some have really bad FPS like 60-30, dipping frequently.
I notice my Motherboard has a lot of updates, I'm hoping this will help.
CPU: Intel Core i5 3570K 3.4GHz | GPU: Radeon HD 6950 | Mobo: Asus P8Z77-V LX | RAM: Corsair 8GB (2x4GB) DDR3 1600MHz
I'm not asking how to find out where a bottleneck is. I just what to know how to check if the harddrive is being used at its limit (and hence causing a bottleneck).
Something like top where I can see a usage percentage of CPU and RAM.
Is there something like that with which I can monitor harddrive activity?
Native linux tools preferred.
The load on my server is very high, even though there doesn't seem to be much disk activity and the CPU is idle. Using sar, I can see the run queue is getting full, but is there any way to see what's in the run queue?
I noticed that if I transfer a few LARGE files between two hard drives, it's pretty speedy around at least 30 MB per second but if I transfer thousands of files less than 5 KB, it is pretty damn too slow.. around 1 to 2 MB per second.
Is there a way to speed up the copy/paste process with thousands of small files on Windows 7?
I found question on how to spoof user agent. I dont' want to spoof only user agent. I want to spoof everything from user agent, to Accept headers to http headers and also the information javascript can tell about browser - screen resolution and depth, class cpu, platform, device name, etc.
Do you know of a way to achieve this in any browser out there ? I don't want 10 plugins to achieve this. I'd like unified way.
I'm currently assigned the task of standardizing new laptops before deploying them to the field. Are there certain guidelines to evaluating a new test laptop. As for example, the processor speed, the applications used, the load on the CPU and RAM.
I use Open Grid Scheduler (a fork/copy of Sun Grid Engine).
I have tried this configuration from master:
# qconf -mattr exechost complex_values slots=8 slave2
# qconf -mq all.q | grep slots
slots 100,[slave1=1],[slave2=8]
slave1 is down, then I run 10 qsub with a sleep example (so no CPU consumption) but only 4 jobs are run at the same time on slave2 instead of I have put 8 slots.
What does I missed ?
PS: my goal is to provide infinite slots to force SGE to schedule only via consummable ressources.
When I'm specifying an argument for make like PREFIX_PATH=/some/path/to/prefix/ I sometimes experience very slow completion for my directories (a few seconds). It's annoying when I've got several variables to specify.
To get around the problem I've been typing out the variables first to get regular completion speed, then hitting home' to insertmake` that the start of my command line. What is happening and how can I fix it?
Hi.
I have an old box that I'd like to use as a private sever to stream movies off of.
My upload speed is about 0.5/Mb/s, so I need something that compresses well.
I'd like to be able to access these movies from anywhere, through the web, through some interface (maybe the divx web player? flash player? some other protocol?)
Can anyone recommend anything good? (Using Windows XP)
Thanks!
Is it possible using Cacti to have it give you a list of machines that meet a certain criteria? For example, what are the machines that have had an average cpu load over 50% during the past week? What machines have 5% free disk space? etc. etc.
I haven't been able to find any suitable plugins, does anyone know of anything that can perform this task?
i'am having IBM server with Redhat 5 ElsmP connected to the IBM Storage over iSCSI (in sdb ) can someone explain this output from iostat command

move large file to sdb very slowly,it seem normaly?
If I have a system with let's say two Quadcore CPUs and HyperThreading enabled, how do I know how the phsyical and virtual cores are sorted? For example if I force a process to run on "CPU 0" how to know which Core this really is? I remember a complex drawing about this, but didn't find anything useful.
Instead of restarting the whole MYSQL process, sometimes I just want to kill the offending thread instead of making everything go down. Usually the spike in CPU is when a bot is crawling the first pages of pagination of my site (over 70.000 paginated results, 45 items per page).
Is there a way I could do this automatically using monit and innotop? I couldn't find relevant information on Google, that's why I'm asking here. If these two tools aren't par to the task, which ones should I use?
I just finished reading the subject post (http://superuser.com/questions/319859/remotely-turning-on-or-rebooting-a-frozen-computer) and have further questions.
I very interested in remote access to my server, in particular restarting it when it is in a stalled or blue-screen state..
How can I determine if my server is AMT enabled? It has a GIGABYTE GA-Z68MA-D2H-B3 Motherboard and Intel Core i5-2500K CPU.
Thanks....RDK45
Hi, I've read that you can run a 64bit guest OS on a 32bit host OS through virtualisation (if the CPU/BIOS supports it etc...).
Now I ask myself: How many RAM can the guest OS use/allocate? (assuming 4GB+ RAM)
Thanks in advance.
I have two SATA HDDs in my desktop PC (one for daily activity, one for storage and backup). I can finely use ReadyBoost with pendrives, but I wonder, Is there a way I could use my underutilized second HDD to participate in the cacheing mechanism (same concept as having two CPU cores crunch things in parallel: have two HDDs fetch data in parallel)? Clearly speaking: I want to enable ReadyBoost on my separate D: drive.
I have a win 2K3 domain controller that has sudddenly started logging about 60 events a second. All events are ID 538, 540 and 576
All events pertain to Security Audit of the machine itself logging in successfully. a typical entry is
Event Id 540
Successful Network Logon:
User Name: <machinename>$
Any pointers to how I can diagnose this? CPU and memory are normal on the machine.
The start up speed of the new Safari 5 has convinced me to switch to it from Chrome. The only annoyance I have is that I am unable to close a tab by simply middle-clicking on it (which works in pretty much every other browser).
Is there anyway to enable it? Even via extensions?
If default maximum memory speed is 1333MHz, and the motherboard supports up to 2200 MHz by overclocking and it is an 2x memory multiplier as for Core i7 CPUs how do you calculate what setting BCLK should be for 1600 MHz and 2133 MHz?
I would like to know how to disable and enable Microsoft Security Essentials from the command line.
This is a common procedure on build machines in order to speed-up the build process.
I'm coming from a PC, loaded with a Core 2 Quad CPU and 8GB of DDR2 RAM. I was running Premiere CS3.
I'm new to Mac so I'm not sure if this will help performance: Will increasing my 21.5" Core 2 Duo iMac's memory from 4GB (DDR3) to 8GB improve performance of Premiere CS4 significantly? I am not impressed with Premiere as it is now. The iMac is the newest one as of this post.
I often encounter the words load and fetch in contexts where data are being read from some source, and they seem to have slightly different meanings. What's the difference?
I've done some research and couldn't find any specific technical difference in general usage. While the term fetch can refer to one stage in CPU instruction execution, I've seen it used in contexts not related to CPUs, and I'm looking for an answer that is not specific to CPUs.
