Yeah HP has an Update to thier BIOS, But it still does not allow Overclocking of any kind. It's baiscly like my BIOS Just with added AMD Processor Support.

you download updates they go in a folder called "softwareDistrobution" the updates install and the computer reboots..........so i find this a little bit of a tweak because i want to save space my updates folder is at 2.5GB and i want that space onlything is if i delete the updates in that folder will i need to DL them again? is that their perminent home or temp dir?

I'll sugest to go to propeties, then look for the compatibity and switch it to "run as XP SP2", that's worked for my drivers

And for another tweaking program, you should google for one

Thanks a lot man I found CrystalCPUID it allows me to increase the voltage to my cpu in windows and thanks for that tip for Systool, I can't belive I didn't think of that.

hey guys my boot time was fine buit now its alll sorts of slow iv defragged using third party stuff cleared the prefetch cleared the temp killed apps etc on start up including services and it takes me like 4min to get to a working desktop`

obt above i mentioned the software distribution folder after updates in vista you CAN delete the contents of this folder without losing your just downloaded things i had 2gb of old updates the trick is after your updates have been installed and copnfigured delete the contents of this folder to gain some serious space.

ex_reven · Jun 24, 2007

Anyone Know how to edit Boot.ini ?

Apparently they dont have boot.ini anymore in vista. But there must be a way of editing it, I want to apply the 3Gb Switch.

Wile E · Jun 24, 2007

Try VistaBootPro.

Vista uses BCDEdit to make changes to boot options. It's a command line tool. VistaBootPro basically gives you a gui for it.

My Second Sata drive wont turn up in Vista

In bios it doesnt get picked up either...weird

Is that the one that was giving you issues? Check the cable again?

ex_reven · Jun 24, 2007

Yeah il swap the cables and see if the other drive dissapears. I might have another dodgy cable lol...man thats bad luck.

Btw with the Vista Boot PRO, how exactly do I add the entry?
I goto "Manage OS Entries" and click the "Add new OS Entry" checkbox?

Wile E · Jun 24, 2007

Crap, you caught me without Vista installed, atm. lol

Still works in XP, so I'll download and see if it still runs without Vista installed.

Wile E · Jun 24, 2007

How much ram is Vista seeing, Reven?

ex_reven · Jun 24, 2007

only 2

Wile E · Jun 24, 2007

Ok, go to the advanced tab of VistaBootPro, select your Vista install from the drop down menu, and click the Enable Physical Address Extension box, then click Apply Settings. Reboot.

After you get back into Vista, go to your start menu. In programs, go to the Accessories folder. Right-click Command Prompt, and select Run As Administrator. In the command box type this:

bcdedit.exe /set IncreaseUserVa 3072

That should enable the 3GB switch.

EDIT: Original had a typo, it's bcdedit, not bsdedit. lol

ex_reven · Jun 24, 2007

hold on...I rebooted after enabling PAE and still no 4 gb :wtf:

Or does it only turn up after I se the command prompt?

Wile E · Jun 24, 2007

PAE should've freed up some of that ram.

Try the 3GB switch to see if that helps.

Also, does your BIOS have a memory remap option? If so, enable it.

If worse comes to worse, try 64bit Vista. lol

Yeah i bought 32 bit before I upgraded my memory

pity...
Ill Check bios and then redo it in Vista Boot Pro

ex_reven · Jun 24, 2007

I checked bios...PAE/Memory remap is enabled.
Still only 2 gigs in My Computer

Wile E · Jun 24, 2007

OK, i guess just try the 3GB switch anyway. Other than that, I'm out of ideas.

ex_reven · Jun 24, 2007

No dice. Dw about it.
