Single Core celeron at 2.2ghz?
Not even 3GB of ram is going to save you from this situation with the way the Intel HD graphics card is stealing your memory.
The first thing I would do if you have the time for it is get a nice drink and set it next to your computer, you are going to need it.
And remove all the try me and buy me stuff. Its going to take you at least 20 to 25 minutes to do.
After this, your computer should be speedier.
Some more things to consider. If you run MSCONFIG you can control on your computer the things that load up in the system tray. Be only sure to mess with the Start Up Try and not the other options.
A through explanation of how to use MSCONFIG can be seen on this page: http://www.netsquirrel.com/msconfig/index.html

Will ipod work with intel celeron D processor?

Before I take my new computer out of the box, I want to be sure I can download Itunes to my ipod. the itunes site says 500 mhz pentium class or better, the guy at circuit city said the celeron D is 32 bit 3.3 GHZ and should work.
Will it?

yeah, the Celeron is Pentium class, and 3.3 GHz is around 3300 MHz, so you're well within the spec in those two regards.

Laserjet 4240n driver does not work with windows home premium 64 bit

I recently was given a HP laserjet 4240n by my employer to use in a remote office. I am using a Windows version 7 home premium 64 bit laptop. I have tried the HP install wizard - no support for this printer. I have tried downloading the "correct" driver - but that doesn't work either.
I assume that there is something wrong but I have spent hours and still haven't been able to figutre out what is wrong and how to fix it!
HELP!
Thanks,
Steve

How do I upgrade OS X 10.5.8 on my iMac with Intel duo core processor

I have an iMac 24" with 2,16 Ghz Intel Core Duo processor and 2Gb 667 Mhz DDR2 SDRAM running on OS X 10.5.8 to Lion?
I know I have to upgrade first to snowleopard???
If so SnowLeopard is not available in the iCentres etc.
What to do??
Brgds,
Nils

Your iMac is a Core 2 Duo not a Core Duo according to this http://www.everymac.com/systems/apple/imac/stats/imac-core-2-duo-2.16-24-inch-sp ecs.html
Which is good since the specifications for OSX Lion require a Core 2 Duo as minimum processor:
Mac computer with an Intel Core 2 Duo, Core i3, Core i5, Core i7, or Xeon processor
2GB of memory
OS X v10.6.6 or later (v10.6.8 recommended)
7GB of available space
Some features require an Apple ID; terms apply.
Some features require a compatible Internet service provider; fees may apply.
The road to OSX Lion requires you to have OSX Snow Leopard before which can be bought from Apples Online Store http://store.apple.com/us/product/MC573Z/A?fnode=MTY1NDAzOA but is not avaiable as a download.
After installation of OSX Snow Leopard and installation of neccessary updates to it you can then use the Mac App Store to buy OSX Lion and install it.
http://www.apple.com/macosx/how-to-buy/
For OSX Lion an upgrade of your RAM to 4GB might be advisable.

ITunes very slow downloads of apps, podcasts, and music with library stored on a Windows Home Server (WHS)

First, some history. I setup a Windows Home Server (WHS) to store all my media. I had configured itunes to store its library at \\server\music (this would be whatever shared folder you choose to store your music on for your WHS (and possibly NAS box)) and itunes was managing my library. Once everything was imported into the server, I found I was getting horrible speeds for downloading apps, podcasts, and music. We are talking 10 minutes to download a 14Mb file on a Fibre connection where I consistently get 25 to 30Mb / second performance. Syncing my iPad / iPhones was a nightmare due to the time needed to be invested in it.
The server, the PC, the router and corresponding switches were all gigabit and yet I was getting dial-up speeds. Transfering files between systems was well within spec, but itunes was running as if it were using smoke signals. I spent some time searching various user groups and support sites to no avail.
To correct this, I only had to log onto the WHS (or NAS) and disable the iTunes Server.
Reboot of the server, reboot your iTunes PC, and you are good to go. My podcasts went from a 20 minute download time for an average episode of T.W.I.T. to about 7 to 10 seconds.

UPDATE
Please disregard the above. While the above did improve performance for a short time, the problem returned. I spent the next week running a full Spinrite on all 4 1TB HDDs that were in the NAS. All drives were fine. I then did some research on the individual drives, and it turns out that 3 of them were 7200RPM Hitachi's and the latest drive added was a 1TB Western Digital GREEN drive (WD10EADS). This was the source of the issue.
Additional information available at http://www.readynas.com/forum/viewtopic.php?f=24&t=32179
I replaced the WD10EADS with another 7200RPM drive (seagate this time) and the NAS has been working flawlessly again (again, disregard the above post)

ISCSI boot with Intel NICs added to windows 2008 r2 routing table causes non iscsi traffic to attempt default routes on iscsi networks

I have a server with Intel 82576 Gigabit Dual Port Nics. I have configured them to use iSCSI boot the primary looks to 10.0.0.1/24 and the secondary looks to 10.0.1.1/24. The target is configured correctly. Everything boots as expected.
I have added the MPIO feature and configured MPIO for the iscsi initiator as per: http://blogs.technet.com/b/migreene/archive/2009/08/29/3277914.aspx.
My issue is that the iSCSI networks show up in the routing table like so:
I did not configure a default route in the Intel setup utility:
I tried to explicitly remove the 0.0.0.0 entry and leave blank, with no change. As you can see with the above routing table traffic attempts to travel over these routes:
C:\Users\Administrator>ping google.com
Pinging google.com [209.85.145.99] with 32 bytes of data:
Reply from 10.0.0.201: Destination host unreachable.
Reply from 10.0.1.201: Destination host unreachable.
Reply from 209.85.145.99: bytes=32 time=23ms TTL=51
Reply from 209.85.145.99: bytes=32 time=22ms TTL=51
Ping statistics for 209.85.145.99:
Packets: Sent = 4, Received = 4, Lost = 0 (0% loss),
Approximate round trip times in milli-seconds:
A ping to the outside world first attempts on 10.0.0.x/24 network, then on 10.0.1.x/24 network and then finally on the network the traffic should go over. I don't want my iSCSI traffic to ever show up with a default route. How do I get rid of it?
route delete 0.0.0.0 mask 0.0.0.0 "on-link" results in: The route deletion failed: The parameter is incorrect.
route delete 0.0.0.0 mask 0.0.0.0 on-link results in: The route deletion failed: The parameter is incorrect.
route delete 0.0.0.0 deletes all default routes, then I have to add back in the "valid default route" of 192.168.100.6.
I would like to not have to do a route delete though.

So I've sort of given up on fixing the gateway assignment in the route for iSCSI boot. I configured a DHCP server to give out the information required by iSCSI boot and configured the network cards to use DHCP for their configuration. I insured
that my DHCP server gave out no default gateway entry. However, I still got the undesired routes in the routing table. This makes me assume that there isn't a "fix" for it, only the workaround.
Here is the script I run on each iSCSI Boot initiator (you would obviously change the ip number to suit your environment):

You need a Core 2 Duo or later to use Lion. You will need to install Snow Leopard in order to access the Mac App Store to download Lion when it becomes available.

Pc laptops Compatible with Intel Wireless Display (WiDi)

I am perplexed and am in need of information/understanding/a reality check.
I recently bought a Lenovo Z570 laptop that was explicitly advertised as supporting Intel Wireless Display (WiDi). I also bought a Belkin Screencast adaptor.
The computer arrived and there was the WiDi shortcut on the desktop. I plugged the Screencast adaptor to my tv through an HDMI cable and set the tv to the correct channel for the input. Great so far!
Per Intel's list of updates (http://www.intel.com/support/wireless/wtech/iwd/sb/CS-033375.htm), I went through and updated the wireless driver and then the Graphics driver. When I tried to update the Intel Wireless Display software, the process was aborted. And my screencast said that the monitor display could not be sent to tv.
After a lot of searching, I realized that my i5-2450M processor does not appear on Intel's list of compatible processors. System requirements can be found at http://www.intel.com/support/wireless/wtech/iwd/sb/CS-031059.htm which says that the processor must be:
ONE of the following:
Intel® Core™ i7: 640M; 660LM; 640LM; 620LM; 620M; 610E; 690UM; 680UM; 660UM; 640UM; 620UM; 660UE; 2710QE; 2820QM; 2720QM; 2635QM; 2630QM; 2657M; 2649M; 2629M; 2620M; 2617M; 2540M; 2520M; 2510E; 2640LM; 2620LM; 2630UM; 2610UM; 2530UM; 2920XM
Intel® Core™ i5: 580M; 560M; 540M; 520M; 480M; 460M; 450M; 430M; 580UM; 560UM; 540UM; 520UM; 470UM; 430UM; 2540M; 2520M; 2410M; 2537M
Intel® Core™ i3: 390M; 380M; 370M; 350M; 330M; 330E; 2310M
Strange, but at that point I was just angry that the store and/or Lenovo had made a whopping mistake. After all, the WiDi shortcut and program was on my laptop; there has to be a reason for that, right?
After a lot of searching, I haven't come up with any answers, only more questions. Here on Best Buy, I searched for pc laptops that support WiDi. A list of 36 or 37 machines came up as qualifying. However, in going through them one by one, only a handful have processors that appear on Intel's list for the System Requirements.
I am very confused. Is Intel's list out of date? But if that's so, why didn't my attempt to update and use the software work? Are bestbuy and costco and multiple laptop makers mistaken when they say a machine is capable of supporting Wireless Display? What the heck is going on? Can anyone help me figure this out?
The Lenovo is on it's way back, but I need a new laptop as my old one is literally falling apart. A new one with WiDi would be extremely useful for a disabled family member. I'm also stuck with the Screencast I bought now too. Beyond all that, I'm really curious what is going on. Am I just stupid or befuddled or . . .is there something I'm missing? Any help would be so, so appreciated. Thank you.

The notebook does fully support WiDi but for some unknown reason, yours simply did not work. The CPU specs from Intel list WiDi as a capability of the CPU and the notebook has the appropriate hardware. I couldn't say why it didn't work but Lenovo does not advertise WiDi as a function of that model on their website so something is obviously off.

BACKORDERED - Dell-Studio Laptop with Intel Core i7 Processor-Black Chainlink-S1747-3209CBK

I was excited that I purchased my first laptop and begin photo processing tons of photos from my last trip. Yet the day after I purchased (4/22/) I found out it was backordered...sorely disappointed and a little upset that Best Buy did not announce this information at checkout or anywhere in the online ad. The email said 1-2 weeks but the Customer Service agent said up to 30 days on the phone. Has anyone experienced this with Best Buy and was the timeframe provided true to the actual time it took? I'm afraid that they'll just tell me it's no longer available after I wait forever.
Thanks!

Good afternoon, Waiting.
I have located your order and I am checking with the appropriate teams to get a better understanding if we have incoming inventory or not. Thanks for your patience with this! I know how frustrating this is, but can assure you that we always have the full intention of shipping your order ASAP.
I also need to correct some of the conversation in this topic. Your card is not charged until your order actually ships. The pending charge on your account is only an authorization which is money that is held by your bank until we collect/charge (ship) or cancel the order. In other words, no money has changed hands and a back ordered order certainly hasn't contributed to any "sales numbers".
I will post back as soon as I have more information about your order.

Saving Power on Linux Laptops/Desktops with Intel

Hi,
I have read a german news article on heise.de (http://www.heise.de/newsticker/meldung/96314). It's about saving power on Linux systems using Intel cpu/chipsets.
The corresponding website is here (http://www.lesswatts.org/), it's from the former powertop.org people, but have much more general information than the old website (which still exists, because powertop is a tool for finding programs which have too much cpu calls).
There are interesting topics for laptop and desktop users there. So have fun while you are reading it.

Excellent post!

Could I install OS-X on an HP 510 Laptop running an Intel 2.13 processor?

I hate PCs but, here in the office, I have staff using them for MS Access and data processing etc.. However, I saw what I thought was a bargain today in a new HP laptop running what I think is the same processor in my Mini-Mac. The question is would I be able to run OS-X on this alongside Vista or would it be a case of wiping the drive and installing Tiger? I'd like to run Access on the Mac but that's another problem!

Yes - that's pretty good advice. I wasn't aware that it was illegal. Thanks. The idea to install boot camp is an option I must admit. It would only be for Access which is a **** nuisance in that it'll only run on a PC. I thought I sawy something recently on a UK Mac Users forum that there is a programme that will run an XP programme on a Mac. Not sure how successful it would be with Office 2003 though. It's just hassle everytime I need one of the databases in use here....
Thanks to you both!
