Windows 7 Enterprise Edition Review

I have installed Windows 7 enterprise edition day before yesterday. However i have tested it around three months back with beta version of Windows 7 ultimate. At that time my system was having just 1 gb of RAM. I felt bit slow and i faced bit of hanging problems. Hence i have removed it from my system. This time i have upgraded my RAM(Which is the only thing i can upgrade in my old system) and tried and i very much satisfied with the performance.
  This month CHIP magazine is shipped with Windows 7 Enterprise edition 90 days trail version. As i always interested on testing new OS i have burnt the image on to DVD and installed into my system. The beta has taken more than  90 mins to complete the installation in my system. But this version got installed completely without any set backs in just 60 mins. When it comes the speed considering my system configuration 1.7 Ghz Pentium and 1.5 GB of RAM, i can say awesome.
  It has beautiful themes inbuilt. All are having wonderful photos. My system is rated with 1 in Windows experience rating but the looks are really great.

  The booting time is very less compared to Windows  Vista. It takes slightly more time than Windows XP to boot up.  I have tried opening some applications and installed programming languages which i was using in Windows XP. The time almost equal to XP. Moreover i never faced issues of system getting hanging or any problems as such.

I have faced only problem that is using Sleep function. It fails to return from Sleep state. I can understand that it is because of my system configurations.
  Finally i will recommend Windows 7 to all. That is because it has more features and less resource hungry. As per the reviews i read so far i got a feeling that it is safer than any other versions of Windows XP.

Price range:5800-11500(Lowest for Windows 7 home basic and maximum for Windows 7 Ultimate.)

Hope price will reduce shortly.

Windows Hacks

We all faced this. That is, even though we are using the systems for ourself and no one else is using the system but the every time you will get password prompts. This can be bypassed editing the registry entries.
 Windows can be configured such away it automatically log in a user on starting.  For doing this just follow the steps mentioned below.

• Login to the user account with administrator rights.
• Go to registry editor. For this, Click on Start-->Run  and type 'regedit' and OK.
• Navigate to the left side of the tool to the 'HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINES\Software\Microsoft\Windows NT\Currentversion\Winlogon' key.
•  Now we need to  change some values on the right side for activating the automatic log-in. For this, double click the entry and enter the new configuration in the 'Edit string' dialog box under 'Value'. Subsequently, confirm this action with 'OK'. If one of the values described in the following do not exist, create it. Use the command 'Edit->New->String' for this and name it 'AutoAdminLogon'.
• Double click the 'AutoAdminLogon' and change the value to '1' which basically turns on the automatic login. IF you wish to turn off this feature replace '1' with '0'
•  Enter the name you wish to log in to, under 'DefaultUserName'. If it is not there create that. Enter your password under 'Defaultpassword', If this is not available create it.

Note: Activating automatic login will face security risk if some else is using your computer. As your user name and password are visible in registry this is not recommended if you are using public systems.

INTEL CORE 2 QUAD Q9550 Review

The Intel Core 2 Quad Q9550 is marginally better performer than the AMD’s most powerful quad-core processor, the Phenom X4 955. Since both Core 2 Quad Q9550 and Phenom II X4 955 are priced almost the same, the Q9550 is any day a better choice. Only advantage in Phenom II X4 955 is that, it features an unlocked multiplier which makes over clocking a breeze. However, the Q9550 can be over clocked much higher i.e more than 1 GHz by increasing the FSB.

Clocked at 2.83 Ghz, the Q9550 is the second most powerful after the Q9650 in the Core 2 Quad family. Just like the other quad-core processors from the Core 2 family, it features two dual-core dies with 6 MB L2 cache each and supports Intel Virtualization technology. It is like two Core 2 Duo E8300 CPUs fused together in a single package.

The Q9550 has a good amount of oomph to handle demanding tasks, but it is too way too powerful for a gaming machine.

Pros: Great Performance, over clocks well.

Cons: Price.

INTEL CORE 2 QUAD Q8200 Review

The Intel Core 2 Quad Q8200 is the most powerful processor for the price range below ten thousand. As this processor belongs to the 8xxx series, this entry level quad core processor is clocked at 2.33 Ghz and has a total of 4 MB l2 cache. Under its hood lie two dual core dies with 2 MB cache. Even though this is a entry level processor, its feature set doesnt include Intel's Virtualizastion technology which is present in Core 2 Duo E8xxx & E9xxx series onwards.

The sheer power of the Q8200 is quite evident by its respectible scores in CineBench R10 and video encoding. Its closest competitor in the roundup was the Phenom X4 9950 Black edition, which is on the verge of extinction. It is priced at 9500 Indian Rupees and it doesn't make any sense picking it up with the Core 2 Quad Q8200.

Pros: Core 2 Quad Q8200: Good value for money, excellent score for an entry level quad core.

Cons: No Intel Virtualization Technology.

Canon EOS IDs Mark III Review

The Canon EOS IDs Mark III is the top of the line in the canon EOS DSLR range of cameras. The 21.1 MP CMOS sensor should satisfy even the most demanding enthusiast. While the camera lacks features such as HD video recording that much cheaper Canon cameras have, it more than makes up by addressing some of the most irritating faults inherent to digital photography. The tone priority setting makes sure that the minut tones in an image are preserved despite harsh lighting conditions. The DIGIC III image processor can churn out images at higher rates, and the autoficus system uses 19 primary and 26 secondary autofocus points. This is available in the price range of around 400141 Rs or $8000.

Free DOS Games Download

Free DOS Games:

There were many beautiful games which we were playing when we are children. That is time windows was not yet introduced windows 95. That games were coded for DOS. DOS is the short form of Disk operating system.

As the evolution happened in the computer technology these DOS games lost popularity. This is due to the more more graphical and sound effects games taken place in the place of DOS games.

Even though that games not as good as now a days games in terms of Graphical effects and sound effects still we can enjoy that games. At that times it was all paid games. Now it is all free games. Remember some games like prince of persia, Dangerous Dave, Hard hat, Ark, Bricks etc how beutiful it was. We all enjoyed at that. If you want to play that games now then you can download that from the link given below.
