Thurs March 5: today and tomorrow

OK, let's start with tomorrow:WE WILL BE UPSTAIRS IN A323. Doing some research. Finishing up notes. Having a good time OK, let's get to today: Everyone except for Evan and Jesse have got WinXP on their machines. (Yes Mike, I know there's a burning smell. We will deal with it) With any luck, you all have the programs CPU-Z, Everest and Belarc Advisor loaded onto these machines; if you don't, come get the CD off of me, tutto pronto. Here's what all the rest of you will be doing then: using both CPU-Z and Everest Ultimate, I want you to discover the following:
the name & code name of your machine's CPU
the package or socket type of your machine's CPU
specification or clockspeed of your machine's CPU

the model# and manufacturer of your computer's motherboard

the total amount -- in megabytes-- of system memory (RAM)
the total number of memory slots and how much RAM is in each one -- a.k.a. module size

if a slot is empty just say so.(yeah I KNOW you can just look inside the freaking case...just use the programs anyway!)

the manufacturer of your computer's RAM
the maximum bandwidth a.k.a. RAM clockspeed in MHz or GHz
your RAM's specific part number
the given name of your computer
the temperature of your CPU
the temperature of your motherboard Use the Open Office "Write" program to compile this info, save it to a file that has a "doc" extension, and save it with a filename that includes your name plus the phrase "machine info March 5" When you're done, I need to collect all those files Jesse, you will be installing Windows XP. Evan, I think we can get Win98 on yours Lets do it, people! Mr. L
