| 88560 | 2002-10-12 09:09:00 | I have been playing with AIDA32 System Info tool. I have a few qu's to ask regarding my setup. I have a Mobo that supports both 100Mhz and 133Mhz FSB, but it has been set to 100MHz (was sold to me as a 133Mhx FSB machine). Why would this be??? I know how to change the setting, but should I? Secondly, What exactly do RAM speed settings (eg PC-133) mean?? For instance, I have PC-133 RAM I know what the actual speed denotes, BUT AIDA states my memory bus at 100MHz, and my Chipset bus bandwidth at 133Mhz. I am a little confused over these details. Thirdly, I have read a KB article on XP's default shares - what are they for though, and secondly AIDA shows a user called SUPPORT_388945a0 that is described as "Microsoft Corpoation, Redmond, Washington" Now, without conspiracy theories, why is there a user on my machine for Microsoft? and what is its purpose?? I am sure I cannot remove it just like default shares cannot be disabled permanently. Thanks alot G P |

It most certainly can be deleted :) I think I've deleted all the Microsoft entries from my user list (right-click on My Computer, click on "Manage", and find the users part in the left hand side, and just go through and get rid of users you don't want :)) Mike. |

| 88562 | 2002-10-12 09:14:00 | Got some details wrong. Mobo is set to have a CPU FSB of 100 - on bootup it displays the CPU as a 12ooMHz (12x100Mhz). The PC was sold to me as a 1200Mhz qith 200Mhz FSB. AIDA displays the CPU as such i.e. 1200 (6x200). What is the deal here??? G P |

I'm probably way wrong on this, but it could be because it's got a double speed (or something) FSB, so that it'll run twice the marked speed, so a 100FSB will run at 200Mhz? (Something like that anyway...) Mike. |

| 88565 | 2002-10-12 09:26:00 | sounds like you have duron or celron processor so the fsb will be set to 100 or with duron 2x100 (200mhz fsb) | tweak'e (174) | ||
| 88566 | 2002-10-12 09:29:00 | tweak'e its an athlon G P |

| 88568 | 2002-10-12 09:33:00 | Hi Graham - Have you downloaded & read the Doc Files at the site. There is computer jargon etc that might help. File is called PROGUIDE. Sorry I can't help any further. Cheers Laurie |

| 88569 | 2002-10-12 09:48:00 | if you are running an atho then the FSB should be set to 133 . check for jumber/dipswitch on motherboard or poss a bios settings . what speed is your cpu ment to be?? it could be the prog is reporting it wrong . |
