We take a look an in-depth look at Intel's Smart Response Technology, one of the most significant new features of the Intel Z68 chipset. Includes benchmarks.
Intel recently unveiled a novel addition to its Rapid Storage Technology v10.5 disk storage and RAID management tool called Smart Response Technology. The caveat is that the first time around, SRT doesn't really do all that much. It's only on the second and subsequent instances when frequently accessed data is called that SRT kicks in and Windows reads directly from SSD cache, bypassing the hard disk entirely. When that triggers, the speed boost over identical data called from the hard drive can be enormous.
Intel führt unter den Funktionen seines neuen Z68-Chipsatzes auch "Switchable Graphics" auf. Hierbei ermöglicht Lucids Virtu den gleichzeitigen Betrieb einer diskreten Grafikkarte und des integrierten Grafikkerns, über den jede Sandy-Bridge-CPU verfügt. Wir haben Virtu ausführlich auf den Zahn gefühlt.
Lucid (formerly LucidLogix) appeared on the enthusiast horizon with their "Hydra" technology, which purported to enable vendor-agnostic multi-GPU systems. Users would be able to combine the performance of different video cards from different vendors, rather than being constrained to the cards required by ATI CrossFireX or NVIDIA SLI. Hydra didn't work as well as had been hoped, but the introduction of Intel's new Z68 chipset came with an announcement that Intel had licensed Lucid's "Virtu" GPU virtualization technology. This brings significant new features to Z68 motherboards, and Benchmark Reviews will examine them in this article.
This came as a bit of a surprise! AMD decided to release the 11.5 driver set which followed the massive 11.4 in the first half of this month. Normally we see the Catalyst driver come out towards the end of the month; this is more so seen after such a massive release.
Batch files can save time by automating specific actions taken on the computer down to one simple click. They can also potentially hide damaging code, so a good understanding of what they are, how they work, and how to create your own, is crucial to today's IT force.
Unless you've been living under a rock, you would know that the release of the Catalyst 11.4s has been anticipated as one of the most significant ones from AMD in many months. We've actually been using the 11.4 driver for months in the form of the HD 6990 Beta and new models that launched after the HD 6990 carried with them slightly modified versions of the 11.4.
Those of you who have been following our MissingRemote Podcast are familiar with the dilemma I have been facing for the last few months--do I dare take the plunge on my one and only Windows Home Server system, based off of an HP MediaSmart EX495, and upgrade to the new and "improved" WHS 2011? After much deliberation and non-stop harassment from, well everyone, I decided it was time. The process was not nearly as bad as I had anticipated but the results are certainly mixed. Obviously this upgrade is not supported by HP given that the EX495 is long since discontinued, but migrating it to WHS 2011 would hopefully be worth the upgrade.
I really had high hopes for the latest version of Firefox, so much so that I sat and dealt with the same problems from the previous version waiting for an update to fix it. Firefox has come a long way since it debuted, but sometimes that road ahead can actually lead you backwards. With the slurry of new features present in Firefox 4, and even 3 for that matter, the project has failed to address one of the most problematic issues, memory usage.
Für die kleinen und mittleren Softwarefehler bietet Microsoft die sogenannten Fix it Tools, die wir uns mal etwas intensiver angeschaut haben. Dabei handelt es sich um eine Vielzahl von kleinen Helferlein, die uns dabei unterstützen, eben diese Fehler oder Unzulänglichkeiten auf unserem System zu beheben. Wunder dürfen wir aber nicht erwarten und unser System muss noch funktionieren. Andernfalls können wir die Seite natürlich nicht aufrufen. Bei der Diagnose werden entweder kleine Fehler automatisch behoben oder es werden uns Hinweise in schriftlicher Form gegeben, welche Möglichkeiten existieren, um das Problem zu lösen. Das kann jeder Standard-User durchführen, Adminrechte sind hierzu nicht erforderlich. Diese kleinen und fleißigen Helferlein sind für alle Windows-Versionen ab Windows XP geeignet...
