We continue our Monday news list with another Intel story that brings to our attention information concerning the company and more specificly its 2.83GHz Core 2 Quad Q9550 chips that will move from the current C-1 to the newer E-0 stepping. The updated chips will start selling on August 22nd, featuring the following changes:

• New SSpec and MM numbers for the converting products
• CPUID will change from 0x10677 to 0x1067A
• Package change to Halide free package

Apart from that, the new stepping CPUs will not include any other changes. Of course, like most new stepping parts a BIOS update will be needed.

Windows Insider Preview Build 10547 - 8gadgetpack constant CPU usage 17-19%

The new insider build installed yesterday and Classic Start plus 8gadgetpack had to reconfigure to work with the new version. Since then I get constant CPU usage of 17-19% from 'Windows Desktop Gadgets' i.e. 8gadgetpack with my fans constantly on too. If
I FC it from Task Manager it stops.

I can't find relevant forums for 8gadgetpack so am posting on here.

Is anybody else having this issue?

 

Raid 0 help

Hi all, I've followed the IRST raid installation directions and I have created myself a Raid 0 volume. Rapid storage confirms my successful migration from a system disc to a raid 0 array. I'm also able to select it as my boot device in BIOS, but what I don't understand is why it is not listed in my Drives under my computer

In fact, my computer still lists my original C: drive with the original capacity. I feel as if I've miss an important step here and I'm unsure how to proceed.
