    Clear CMOS settings in HP OEM IPISB-CH Cleveland 623914-003

    @ Burpo and @VirtualLarry Many thanks for the replies. That i have tried countless times even before the original post, and after, to no avail. I just disabled UEFI options, which you couldn't delete anyway, only enable or disable. My understanding was, once all UEFI entries are disabled...

    Clear CMOS settings in HP OEM IPISB-CH Cleveland 623914-003

    After disabling 3 entries of "Windows boot manager" under UEFI in BIOS, now all i get is blank or black screen. Monitor doesn't even come out of power saving mode and keyboard caps lock / numeric lock lights are not coming up either. As you can see i'm by no mean expert on motherboards...

    Thanks a million for in-depth reply. Since I can't find anything from "HMT41GU6AFR8A-PB" or "H5TC4G83AFR", would this be a good choice: Crucial Ballistix Sport 8GB 240-Pin DDR3 SDRAM DDR3 1600 (PC3 12800) Low Profile Desktop Memory, (1.35 V): http://www.newegg.com/Product/Produc...82E16820148661

    Need help finding 8GB PC3L 12800U Desktop Memory

    I need help finding equivalent to 8GB (single DIMM) PC3L 12800U memory please. Right now it's 8GB and would like to make it 16GB. The PC is a brand new HP Envy 700-210xt. The reasons I'm little worried are, "L" in PC3L, and "U" in 12800U. Does that mean low or ultra low voltage or something...

    Windows 8's greatest weakness: DPC latency

    @ Jeff Regarding disabling anything at all... I mean if you don't disable anything in Win 7 then you shouldn't disable anything in Win 8 either, as you get DPC latencies between 40 to 160 μs in Windows 7(instead of ~1000 of Win 8), on the same hardware...

    Windows 8's greatest weakness: DPC latency

    @ StokesMSFT As suggested by ViRGE, I've installed the Windows 8 SDK, and performed two tests while running Windows Performance Recorder on a fresh installation of Windows 8 Pro RTM x64. The tests have generated 1.79 and 1.92 GB .etl(Windows performance analyzer trace file) files. Let me know...

    Remove Win7 from a new Spectre XT to install Windows 8 RP on its mSATA SSD

    @taltamir it's alright :) I know it may not considered a real benchmark but here's the screenshot of what Windows experience index with 3rd gen Core i7-3667U + HD 4000 graphics + mSATA SSD looks like... is it good for an ultrabook or no?

    Remove Win7 from a new Spectre XT to install Windows 8 RP on its mSATA SSD

    @ taltamir thanks for the reply. Regarding the "final version", you broke down my sentence in half, so please read the sentence in it's entirety. What i said was: I should've typed/said differently like, "The reason to install Windows 8 RP is that, the final version of Windows 8 is going to...

    Remove Win7 from a new Spectre XT to install Windows 8 RP on its mSATA SSD

    Now I knew about RTM and "GA" but (1) I am not gonna have an access to RTM (like Technet or MSDN) and (2) even if somehow I get ISO from somewhere, I'm certainly not gonna have a valid product key to activate it. So for me, the first available date will be when Microsoft makes it available via...

    Remove Win7 from a new Spectre XT to install Windows 8 RP on its mSATA SSD

    Lonyo, dma0991 & taltamir Many thanks for the replies. I'll go with the Diskpart from the Windows 8 install screen for this ultrabook. The reason to install Windows 8 RP is that it's final version, "general availability", going to be released in October and I don't want to wait four months...

    How should I "remove" Windows 7 from a brand new(it's still in the box) HP Spectre XT Ultrabook 13t-2000 to install Windows 8 Release Preview on its 128GB mSATA SSD... Now as I understand, I should NOT "format" an SSD like a hard drive(on an HDD i would run dd if=/dev/zero of=/dev/sdx bs=1M...

    Best way to connect a monitor+three 1080p HDTVs to a PC

    I want to connect a 24" LCD monitor plus three 1080p HDTVs to a PC. At first I was planning to buy a XFX Radeon 6950 & Corsair 750/850 PSU to upgrade existing XPS 8100 (i7 860, 6GB) and connect the monitor to DVI, and use 1 HDMI (native) & 2 mini DisplayPort to HDMI adapters to connect 3 TVs (to...

    Best / fast RAM Disk & how to measure it's performance

    @ FishAk Many thanks for the reply. The only reason I use RAM disk is to get more speed out of Firefox/web page loading and it's the only application I run from RAM disk. I copy (only once) entire Firefox-Portable folder in to RAM disk & disable caching. At system shutdown it saves RAM disk as...

    Best / fast RAM Disk & how to measure it's performance

    So far I've tried Virtual Hard Drive Pro 2.0 and Dataram RAMDisk to run Firefox-Portable from, on Windows 7 64bit. Apart from occasional BSOD both runs ok... I was wondering if there's faster RAM disk / drive out there and how to measure it's performance! Many thanks in advance.

    Core i7 PC won't boot with 8GB OCZ DDR3 PC3-10666

    things that I can change are under "CPU feature" and "Adv chipset settings" (have attached pics in earlier post) but there's no option even remotely available with a name memory or RAM. Guess that 8GB will be heading straight to eBay :(
