See Your Processor Performances

Processor is an important part in PC. It does almost all the job. I can say that processor is the president in PC. All the commands come to processor and it sent the command to other hardware.

If we use Intel processor we can know how great our processor is. We can check what thing that our processor can do. This is important because when we know the processor ability we can maximize our processor performances. There is software to know our processor fact. It called Intel Processor Identification Utility. It can check our processor frequency, the technology that our processor used, and processor ID data. It can know Intel product such as Intel, Intel Atom, Intel Core, Pentium, Xeon, Celeron, etc. You can get this software from this.

For example our processor support 64-bit architecture, we better use OS that support 64-bit,because our processor can work on 64-bit OS better than 32-bit OS. It can boost our processor performance.

Just try and maximize your processor performance...

Ubuntu 8.10 Graphic Installation

Few days ago, I tried to install Linux in my Laptop. I used Ubuntu 8.10 (Intrepid Ibex), not the newest one but I got the modified one that better than the original version.

First of all, if you want yours you must get graphic driver. I use Nvidia 9300 that compatible with nVidia accelerated graphics driver version 173 or 177. I search it and each driver consist of three file. And version 177, I got two different package 80 and 82. In my Intrepid Ibex, I use version 177 package 82, although all the version and package work well. I prefer to nVidia driver version 177 package 82.

I want to help the others, that need driver as same as mine. Just go to this URL and download file with extension .deb. One important information, you read the file name if found this word ‘amd64’ means this file for AMD processor and if you found this ‘i386’ it means for Intel processor.

After you get all the file install kernel-source, dev, than the last one 177. For example me I install :

1. First nvidia-177-kernel-source_177.82-0ubuntu0.1_i386.deb
2. Second nvidia-glx-177-dev_177.82-0ubuntu0.1_i386.deb
3. Third nvidia-glx-177_177.82-0ubuntu0.1_i386.deb

After that you go to System, Preferences, Driver, and Activate. Then you will ask to enter your password. After it activated you should restart your computer.

Try this ways. I hope it will help you. See ya……

Keep your USB Flash Drive Save Using File Dummy

Nowadays, most of people prefer to save their data in USB Flash Drive. Because its small, portable, and has large amount of memory. But by using it our computer become easier infected by viruses, trojans or worms because we often plug in and out in different computers.

But don’t worry about it, because we can use one trick to keep our FD and computer  safe. We can create file dummy in our FD. File dummy function in our FD is to make our FD full and make it like write protected. There are two ways to create file dummy.

First by using command prompt using fsutil command. Type this command in command prompt

fsutil file create new “D:\filedummy.dat” 123456789

• “fsutil file create new”  >>  command
• “D”  >>  drive name
• “filedummy.dat”  >>  create new file (dummy file)
• “123456789”  >>  storage amount (storage used)

Second is used dummy file maker. You can download it in here. Then run the program from your FD.

1. Fill the File Name or Random Name
2. Tick “Using all free space in current drive”
3. Tick “Place file in sub folder” to place file in folder (the folder name like file name)
4. Click create
5. Your dummy file is created

I like this method to keep my FD save when I have a presentation or something that I should bring my file in my FD.
