alright i scanned my pc with sisoftsandra and i got a report and i do not understand somethings so maybe you guys can help? 1.Large memory modules should be ECC/Parity 2.Memory bus speed exceeds memory rated speed. Reduce memory bus speed 3.PCI latency too high. Device could hof the bus for to long. 4.Device does not support bus mastering. 5.Simple IP services (Echo, Daytime, etc) enabled, check this is required. 6.S.M.A.R.T not enabled; consider enabling for safety. Acoustic management enabled. Performance may be impaired. Those are the things that i do not understand i have no idea wht to about? thx alot
1. Large Memory Modules "should" be Parity/ECC - True. The larger the capacity of a single stick of RAM, the more chances that an address or more may get corrupted. ECC (error checking) can alert you of this condition. Is it needed? In most cases NO. But in mission-critical applications, definitely. 2. Your measured memory timings are not equal to the speed data in SPD - the bus speed they were designed for. This means your are Overclocking your memory. To be safe, your clock speed should be equal to (or even less) than your memory's rated speed. However, properly OC'ing memory increases system performance. Do this only if you know what you're doing. 3. A PCI device has its latency set too high. Latency is a term used to denote "delays" -- the device is delaying data (hogging) throughput too much. Find out if you can change this timing in BIOS. If I recall correctly "32" is the default latency for PCI. 4. As it says -- No Bus Mastering. Slows down overall system performance. Maybe a driver upgrade can enable this in your device. 5. Simple IP Services -- disable this service if you don't need it. 6. SMART Monitoring -- very slight performance hit if enabled. This will give you early warning if a disk drive is about to fail. My suggestion is to enable it. 7. Acoustic Management -- your system has a form of automatic fan speed control, coupled with CPU performance. Is it AMD (Cool n' Quiet) or Intel? (SpeedStep in Mobiles). The fan speeds are turned down in response to your CPU's workload -- slower fans mean lesser noise. As your load increases, the CPU temp increases, and the fan speeds are increased as well, resulting in more noise.
How do i enable S M A R T "No Bus Mastering. Slows down overall system performance. Maybe a driver upgrade can enable this in your device." what kind of driver update BTW thx alot
You can enable SMART Monitoring in BIOS. It should be in your Advanced Settings or thereabouts. As for bus mastering, what device is referred to in this circumstance? Get an updated driver for it. It could be your IDE Drivers, your Video Card, etc.. At any rate, always get the latest drivers for your components. Good luck.
