| 479995 | 2006-08-22 00:21:00 | I currently bought a new hp computer last week, i bought it home plugged it in and as usual got the microsoft updates to download.However i noticed that i had to install 53 updates for this pc which seems a hell of a lot considering this pc already came with sp2 installed on it already.Why is it that i need so many security updates with this xp pro when on my last pc i was running xp pro as well and it didnt need so many updates even though i kept all my updates right up to date.Im very puzzled by this amount of updates for a new pc. Also one other question not to bright in this area of pcs, where do i look to find out if this pc is 64bit,all i know is that i have a duo core processor and that the pc runs at 2.8ghz processor and has 512meg of ram and 800mhz front side bus. :confused: |

| 479996 | 2006-08-22 00:55:00 | Yep, I had a laugh when I setup a Toshiba laptop. Something like 43 updates. Service Pack 2 is quite old now. They probably didn't put the post-SP2 hotfixes into their image, where as some other companies seem to do this. Everest (www.majorgeeks.com) will tell you if it is 64-bit.... |

Which model is it? Didn't think they had anything with the Core Duos, especially not with only 512mb... |

| 479999 | 2006-08-22 03:33:00 | Hi Pete my mistake its a HP DC 7600 small form factor pc pentium d Processor with 533 mhz front side bus speed.Not to sure when i look at the bios settings it says this 2800/800mhz.I know the processor is 2.8ghz but whats the 800 mhz mean beside it what does that indicate, im not to hot on this sort of info. | Hitech (9024) | ||
| 480000 | 2006-08-22 03:38:00 | Dont forget to up the AC in summer when using the PC, that bad boy PD is a hot mother.....LMAO | SolMiester (139) | ||
| 480001 | 2006-08-22 05:57:00 | .I know the processor is 2.8ghz but whats the 800 mhz mean beside it what does that indicate, im not to hot on this sort of info. If the mobo supports 533 and 800 mhz FSB, you could use a 800 FSB CPU, and if the mobo supports hyperthreading, since u have a 2.8 CPU, (You only need a 2.4 + CPU, if the mobo and CPU are both 800 FSB). You would be able to use HT, by enabling it in the BIOS. BUT only if u use 2000 / XP +. And its better to turn it on, before u install Windows (If u use Windows). BUT, if the mobo only supports 533 mhz, and you wanted to make use of Hyperthreading, u would need a CPU 3.0 GHZ or over, for HT to work. |
