While I realize that tech has evolved so much, but I'm curious as to how ReadyBoost might be effective with PCs/laptops that have 3GBs or lower of RAM-----since the RAM usage will increase......especially in 32-bit flavors of Windows 10..........

BIOS Version CF94510J.15A.0062.2007.0711.1126 is the version I'm using now.....

My rig is an eMachines.......and I believe they only had 1 BIOS that the mfgr put out....but Gateway bought them out, then Acer.....for awhile, Gateway had a BIOS that worked as they also had several models using the Coreyville board. Recently, however, Acer has shelved anything but drivers for...

If nothing else works in the traditional methods, you may have to do a system restore before your first driver install...that would take you to the point where the generic Windows driver was installed initially.....from there try a driver install.....good luck!

I had this problem myself with the 650ti.....I tried 2 different approaches: 1) Uninstall all other older drivers EXCEPT the last one---need a fallback in case it fails.....try to reinstall again. 2) Update video driver only with right clicking the adapter in Device Manager----not always...

Or....I could just click the short cut icon I created and update Windows that way. Now even easier. And yes, I do have a few more shortcuts, but not many. And yes, I've set up the GodMode icon. I really don't have to go to the Start Tiles menu for much....which is the way I like Windows...

I've gone to C: /Windows/System 32/wuapp and right clicked. Made a shortcut right there to desktop. One-Stop Updating. Instead of digging around through charms and corners.

Yeah....almost any of E4xxx and the E6xxx series are a go, by BIOS...(I've tried both on this rig)...E7xxx are "Wolfdales" and you are in the "Conroe" zone....(I like the better microcode & performance of the Wolfdale on another rig, but my C2D E6700 has 4mb L-2 cache, as opposed to the 3mbs in...

I wouldn't install the 1333mhzFSB C2D just yet....I don't believe the BIOS supports 1333mhz CPUs....I have the D945GCL (OEM/in the same family) and it will support up to 1066mhz FSB CPU's. ---BUT, I don't believe they'll support quad cores either. I'm currently using the E6700 C2D (O/C 11% @...

That should be fairly stable for it....I'm overclocking an E6700 in a Socket 775 board myself....although this one has a locked BIOS and is OEM, (O/C viz-a-viz SetFSB). I've decided on an O/C of 10-11% , to mimic the next higher up speed of the C2D family CPU @ 2.93GHZ (2.941 w/SetFSB). I've had...

That one will work as well...you still may need to consider the power issues as well, however. These PCIx16 3.0 cards are backward compatible....there may be a bottleneck of data, but you could still use it as well as your original selection. The cards have a capacity to perform on higher...

Yes....after peeping the specifications of the Holly2, it would appear to be OK.

Glad to have been of some assistance to ya!

Does your keyboard work? Maybe a bent pin if you a PS/2 or a bad battery in the wireless...also, if it is a USB wireless, make doubly sure it's enabled in the BIOS and that USB devices boots up as well upon POST. Just a couple of ideas here....

You could double-check your voltages coming from the PSU....ensure you have all the necessary drivers for the PCI and SATA handling of data....find out if your games are leaning more to an AMD -style of performance in frame rendering.....but yeah, component swapping and Memtest are both really...
