Wish to have powerful notebook then dual core technology which have had now? Just wait, because Intel has already to release quad core chip for notebook at third quarter this year. May be designed to desktop replacement notebook type, that product will produce according to Core 2 Duo micro architecture and 45 nanometer process. But, specification detail still confidential. The issue said that the chip will be given label Core 2 Extreme QX9300. it is very suitable for gamers or users who work with notebook all day.

This quad-core chip will be released after Intel launch Centrino 2 platform (the code is Montevina) whose issue will be launched at second quarter this year. For you who don’t know yet, Montevina is Mobile Centrino Platform upgrade. This offers WiMAX and WiFi network capability in just one chip. Inside Montevina, will consist in processor based on Core 2 micro architecture. It is big possibility quad core will integrated to that platform.

Though more up to date, this quad core has insufficiency, CPU with four core will need more energy resource then CPU with two core, even the CPU clock setup slower. So there are issue relate to notebook battery capability which has to be improved by Intel if they want the latest chip popular.

Success with Core 2 duo as prime mainstream replaced Pentium D, Intel released Core 2 Quad. Intel Core 2 quad is quad core processor for PC, ones is Intel Core 2 Quad Q6600.

65NM

Intel Core 2 Quad has been released long enough, that’s why this processor still using 65nm production process, not yet using Intel production process, 45nm. This processor has work frequency equal to 2400 MHz with FSB equal to 266MHz dan multiplier 9.

Cache L2 8MB

As result of merge two Core 2 Duo processor with cache L2 4MB, Intel Core 2 quad Q6600 has cache L2 equal to 8MB (2 x 4MB). Cache L1, this processor has 4 x 32KB for data and 4 x 32KB for instructions.

Because of merger, there are no special track that join both Core 2 Duo. Track that used is FSB, this is less efficient from maximal work sight, but more efficient if look from cost sight. That is the truth, make native quad core (not merge 2 processor core duo) have more risk, and if make with merge 2 processor can have maximal work frequency.

EIST

Besides performance, recently processor is claimed to depress energy source that used. Like Core 2 Duo, Intel Core 2 Quad Q6600 also equipped with Enhanced Intel Speedstep Technology (EIST). EIST will decrease energy source that is used when working. Besides EIST, LGA775 processor equipped with MMX, SSE, SSE2, SSE3, SSSE3, Execute Disable Bit, Intel 64, and Intel VT.

582 Million Transistors

Intel Core 2 Quad Q6600 has 582 million transistors with die size 286mm2, TDP (Thermal Design Power) 95W and 105W, voltage (VID) Intel give the range between 0.85V till 1.5V.

Conclusion

Intel Core 2 Quad Q6600 is interesting processor, from the test result give best performance. There lot of software that could not yet use quad core processor optimally, but so sure in the future this could change. This make Intel Core 2 Quad Q6600 the right option in the future.

By cleaning DLL file that is not longer used by memory, computer can perform faster. So, how is the way to do this? Before I reveal the tricks, I’d like to explain a little bit about DLL file.

Windows has one “library” named Dynamic Link Library that we used called DLL. For specified purposes, usually this library is temporally placed in memory so processor just need to access memory to execute specified programs, not necessary move back and forth to harddisk that performance slower than memory. But, in some cases, DLL file that retains in memory is not erased although not even ones use it.

This cause memory wasted. If memory in computer limited, let say just 64MB, computer will going slowly. The way to overcome this problem is cleaning DLL file that is not used anymore. In order to that point, I suggests following tricks, the steps are :

1. Execute Registry Editor, I hope you are not forget the way to do this.
2. Enter to subkey My Computer\HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Sofware\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer.
3. Click [Edit] > [New] > [Key] in Registry Editor window to create new subkey below Explorer key.
4. Named it with “AlwaysUnloadDLL”.
5. Click twice name [Default], then fill in the string value with 1.
6. Close Registry Editor, the restart your computer.

Make list of data application that running in operating system have good purpose to control stabilization. Sometimes, there are applications that running not identified and have bad purposes, among of that application are spyware and adware.

One of many operating system that can shows running application is Windows, windows has many features that able to use for this purpose. We can use combination button are [Ctrl] + [Alt] + [Del] on keyboard. But sometimes, virus or malware has contaminated the computer and lock off that combination button so we can’t use that, whether another way to do shows running application? legal or illegal operation.

Following steps are another way to shows running application in our operating system :

1. As first step, run command prompt;
2. Type “tasklist” command at the prompt and push enter button, than will appear new windows prompt that shows running application.

It’s so simple, isn’t it? Now you can monitor running application through console windows. If you want to see another new application that running, just type “tasklist” (without quote) command at command prompt, then will appear new running application list.

It can be, Suddenly Windows not give any reaction when we insert music CD, photo file, or our favorite film in CD-ROM, what’s happening? How to fix it? There are so many possibilities that causes Windows act like that. Maybe, unrealized we have ever modified certain file on system or ever installed certain software that caused windows error. But you just calm down, there is way to handle this problem.

Right click on CD or DVD-ROM at Windows Explorer and select Properties then we are in properties dialog box. Click [Autoplay] tab, then start configuring shows menu, what kind of action that we want Windows do when we inserting CD/DVD into CD/DVD-ROM.

Example, when we inserting music CD/DVD, then Windows Media Player will automatically play that music CD or when we inserting CD?DVD that contained data, automatically Windows will shows the file in CD/DVD. There are much more automatically actions that can Windows handle and we can manage it in [Autoplay] tab.

If in the fact, Windows still not react when we inserting CD/DVD in the drive, it must be there are trouble in Windows, but don’t have to be panic or desperate and do Windows reinstallation in a hurry, because there is another alternative to cover this trouble.

Microsoft’s Autoplay Repair Wizard that can be downloaded at Microsoft Site can fix this problem. Just follow the installation steps, start from download process till end.
