Sony :: Vaio SZL2 Cache Disabled

Feb 15, 2009

Just noticed that the output of lshw lists the Sony Vaio SZ as having the L2 cache disabled.

if another owner would verify this for me so that I can work out if it is unique to mine, more general, or the tool is misreporting the information:

Tool is available from here,
[url]
but on Ubuntu one can type : # apt-get install lshw

# uname -a
Linux mylinuxpc 2.6.24-23-generic #1 SMP Mon Jan 26 00:13:11 UTC 2009 i686 GNU/Linux

Output on mine is:

Code:
# lshw |more
mylinuxpc
description: Notebook
product: VGN-SZ90PS
vendor: Sony Corporation
version: J001G09L
serial: removed-removed

Sony :: Vaio Z12GN, Win 7, Virtual PC, VT Disabled

Feb 9, 2010

I have a Vaio Z12GN running Windows 7.

I can not use Virtual PC because, although the CPU has VT support, Sony did purposely not include the option to enable it in the BIOS (a well known issue).

Are there any options to get Virtual PC running on my laptop (maybe an older version or a workaround)? Or are there any *free* alternatives to Virtual PC which will run on Win 7 even without VT being enabled? Any options?

How can I have a virtual PC running in Win 7 on a Vaio Z12?

Sony :: Why It Disabled Intel VT In VAIO Laptops

Aug 15, 2009

Sony VAIO product manager, Xavier Lauwaert, addressed the issue on the Windows Partner blog. His post [answers] to a specific comment about the lack of VT capability provides an astonishing explanation and fix roadmap:

It's great that Sony are "looking forward to leveraging [Windows 7] on their platforms." However some of their recent laptops are unable to leverage all the features of Windows 7.

Sony's decision to disable Virtualization Technology on the Intel chips on their high-end notebooks makes little sense when you consider that these machines are targeted at business consumers. It was also annoying to find this out _after_ I had bought the machine, since none of the pre-sales literature mentioned it.

Even more so when you realise that Windows 7 will include a virtual Windows XP installation to provide backwards compatibility. This will run with impaired performance on any Sony laptop where VT has been disabled. I would be interested to know what the Windows 7 team think about Sony crippling their customer’s ability to use their carefully constructed backwards compatibility feature?..........

Apple :: MacBook Pro 15" 3MB L2 Cache Or 6MB

Aug 19, 2009

I've been looking into getting a new MacBook Pro 15" (need to have that express card slot!) and noticed that there is that some of them come with either 3MB and 6MB L2 Cache. There's a 3MB on eBay for $1299 at 2.4Ghz, 4GB RAM, 3MB L2 Cache and 320GB Hard Drive. And on Apple.com, there's a refurb at $1599 for 2.66Ghz, 4Gb RAM, 6MB L2 Cache and 320GB hard drive.

Which one is more worth it and does the 3MB and 6MB make that much of a difference?

Lenovo G500 B / G Series :: Where Is Ssd Cache

Dec 21, 2013

I just bought a lenovo G500 59-390085 laptop and installed windows 7. It is supposed to have 8GB of ssd for caching but I cant see it either in the bios or in the disk managment. I tried to make it work with Intel Rapid Store technology, where I see only the main hard disk, and it also needs to make it RAID instead of AHCI so I thought that changinh that in the bios would solve the problem, but there is no such option, only AHCI and "compatible". Ιs there a chance that the ssd drive is not connected?Also, this is the message on express cache when I tried to reinstall it. URL....

Dell XPS 14 :: SSD Cache Becomes Inaccessible After Sleep Mode

Mar 1, 2013

My new XPS 14 is experiencing problems after going into sleep/hibernation mode.  Each time the computer goes to sleep, I get a message from Intel Rapid Storage Technology that acceleration has been disabled.  Basically, when this happens, the SSD drive becomes inaccessible and no longer recognized by the computer (disappears from device manager).  In order to get it back, I restart the computer, which brings the ssd drive back up in device manager, and then I have to disassociate the drive and re-enable acceleration after that.Dell has put in a service order to have my SSD drive replaced.

HP/Compaq :: Difference Between Cache Video Memory And Dedicated

Mar 27, 2010

I am considering a new laptop. The HP I am consdering has ATI Mobility Radeon HD 4200 graphics with 128MB cache memory. The other I am considering is the Samsung R580 which has a smaller screen, smaller battery, but 512MB dedicated video. Since the HP has an 8 cell, it will get beter battery life.

So, the 4200 is integrated into the AMD Turion chip, yet has 128MB memory onboard for the graphics chip whereas the Samsung has a separate GPU?

Both laptops have bluray and are within $50 of each other in price.

Lenovo E530 11e E/Edge :: What Is Express Cache Supposed To Do

Sep 19, 2013

I have E530 with 1TB disk and 16GB mSSD disk, which is partioned in 2 partitions. Now, I suspect Express Cache is using it somtimes, but I never see any usage from it in Task Manager. Task Manager Screengrab.However, sometimes Express Cache goes nuts on my HD, doing the opposite of what it is supposed to be doing Resource Monitor Showing Express Cache thrashing my HD
 
However, it seems to be doing something, sometime. I suspect it is from rebooting, but I rarely reboot my computer, so I'm not gaining much from it. I just formatted that mSATA drive and perhaps put the windows swap file and perhaps other cache folders there? I always feel that the disk I/O is the bottleneck of this computer, it feels slow when accessing the disk.

Lenovo U/S Series :: Using SSD And HDD Express Cache In IdeaPad U410

Nov 12, 2012

Lenovo U410 comes with 24 GB SSD and 500 GB HDD. Lenovo claims that they use some express cache to get faster speed during bootup and opening apps.
 
Lenovo recommends clean install of ideapad system while upgrading to windows 8.

link: 
 
My problem: As I am doing clean install , I want to delete LENOVO partition. The technical support guy also told me in phone that I can delete the partition and create my own.
 
But how will I use ssd and hdd? In my laptop, the windows OS was installed in 500 GB hdd and 24 GB ssd was used for some "express cache" .
 
But if I delete all the partition, how will I configure such that 24 gb ssd is used? Because lenovo does not provide any software named "express cache"  in their site. 
 
BUT they provide "Intel Rapid start, Intel rapid storage" 
 
So does these rapid start and storage use 24 GB ssd aand improve my boot time?

HP ZBOOK 17 :: Flash Cache And General System Failure

Sep 27, 2014

On my first windows install on my Zbook 17, the OS installed the System Reserved partition on the flash cache SSD. I figured I'd do a reinstall when I ordered and installed a 1tb SSD. I removed all HDDs and the flash cache, installed the OS, then turned off the computer and re-installed the flash cache. Now when I try to boot it gives me 5 blinks on the caps/num lock along with a lovely black screen.

Lenovo P/Y/Z Series :: Y400 / Changing BIOS To RAID For MSATA SSD As Cache - Windows 8.1

Feb 12, 2014

I have the Lenovo Y400 laptop with Intel Core I-7 processor and Nvidia Geforce 650M Graphics chip.  The laptop came with windows 8 and is now running windows 8.1 At the time of purchase I opted to go for a model with a standard HDD and no MSATA SSD for caching.

I have recently purchased a 128 GB "My Digital SSD - Bulletproof 4" MSATA SSD and installed it.

I installed the Intel Rapid Storage Technology software and it shows the drive, but does not give me any options for acceleration or caching.

Based on my research so far, it seems I need to enable RAID mode in the BIOS (SATA setting is currently at AHCI).

The only other option shown is to change it to "compatibility mode" which it identifies as IDE.

Is there a way to switch the BIOS to RAID mode so I can use my MSATA SSD for caching without having to reinstall windows?

HP Spectre 15-4010nr OS/Software :: No Commands In Intel Rapid Storage After Resetting Cache Device To Available

The SSD was used for acceleration in Intel Rapid Storage initially.
 
But I reseted it to Available  in Intel Rapid Storage and now I cannot “Enable acceleration” again, because there is no such a command in the program’s interface­­ – it only shows disk information at “Status” and “Manage”, but no commands at all (except Acivate LED).­

Dell Precision M4300 :: How To Check If Flash Cache Module Was Included In Laptop Config

Feb 19, 2013

According to [URL] ..., Dell M4300 laptop bought several years ago might include Flash Cache Module. Dell BIOS allows to enable FCM. Is there a way to check whether the module is actually installed w/o physically opening up the laptop? What part number or name might it have in System Configuration on Dell Support web-site? It shows that the laptop was shipped with 200GB SATA HDD (part no WT611 - [URL] ...., but there are no components listed with "FCM" or "flash" in their names.

Sony :: VAIO- If A VAIO Had No Ram Should (if All Else Was Working) It Be Getting POST Beeps

Jan 15, 2010

I have just been given a VAIO PCG8A2M (GRX316MP) , i was told "it's broken but if you can fix it yo can have it" so having a quick look at it there's no sign of life on the display but the lights come on and i can here the HDD heads moving about.

Looking a little more i found that all the ram is missing , so now im not sure if its worth buying some ram to see if it works or not ? The lack of ram would prob explain the lack of display but i wonder if i should be getting POST beeps at least, which im not.

So my question is if a VAIO had no ram should (if all else was working) it be getting POST beeps ?

Sony :: VAIO TZ295N Vs VAIO TZ395N

I don't know whats the diference (besides the price), between VAIO TZ295N & VAIO TZ395N. Specs in all the websites I've checked say they have exactly the same components: Intel coreduo 1.33Ghz 2GB RAM DVD-RW and 64GB SSD Hardrive. I was wonder if the diference might be in the hard drive interface, with the TZ295N being PATA and TZ395N being SATA.
