The Crucial Ballistix has tighter timings and so will have lower latencies. This translates to slightly faster RAM. They also have a lifetime warranty, which I personally have never had to use. I use Crucial RAM in nearly every system I build. I even use it in my mission critical servers at work due to their proven reliability. As for the Raptors...you may want to do some reading up on them. I have a pair of 36GB Raptors in my system and while they are fast I believe a pair of NCQ capable drives would outperform them. Raptors are also not native SATA drives...WD uses a PATA to SATA converter on the drive PCB.

Require more information... What model is your Dell PC? If it's a laptop then you may be out of luck but you can give the Catalyst Mobility drivers a try. If it's not a laptop then what is the model of the ATI card?

REG ADD %KEY%\000 /V 1 /D "%CDROM%\Software\acroread604.exe /qn"/ /f There's an extra / at the end. Should be: REG ADD %KEY%\000 /V 1 /D "%CDROM%\Software\acroread604.exe /qn" /f REG ADD %KEY%\009 /V 1 /D "%CDROM%\Software\jre-1_5_0_04-windows-i586-p.exe /s /v"/qn ADDLOCAL=jrecore IEXPLORER=1"" /f That line should be as follows. Note the use of \" to include quotes in the RunOnceEx command. However, as suggested above get the file from RyanVM's MSFN site. It requires no switches. REG ADD %KEY%\009 /V 1 /D "%CDROM%\Software\jre-1_5_0_04-windows-i586-p.exe /s /v\"/qn ADDLOCAL=jrecore IEXPLORER=1\"" /f REG ADD %KEY%\018 /V 1 /D "%CDROM%\software\dotnetfx\netfx.msi /qn\" /f You don't need the \ at the end of the command. It may cause problems being there. REG ADD %KEY%\018 /V 1 /D "%CDROM%\software\dotnetfx\netfx.msi /qn" /f There is also a switchless version of the .NET 1.1 installer that includes .NET 1.1 SP1 on RyanVM's MSFN site. I use that and run it after the hotfixes in SVCPACK.INF. You can run the .NET 1.1 SP1 hotfix from here as well.

Western Digital here. If you're basing this on current drives: IBM doesn't make drives anymore. Hitachi bought their drive business. Quantum is also owned by Maxtor (for several years now). HP doesn't make their own drives. If you have an "HP" SCSI drive it's a rebranded Seagate...nothing changed other than the HP logo on the Seagate sticker.

I've always just put the setup.iss file in the same directory as setup.exe. Then all you have to do is run Setup.exe -s without specifying a path to the setup.iss. Using that method if you want it logged then the following should work: Setup.exe -s -f2"%SYSTEMDRIVE%\setup-hraccess.log"

Run them from CMDLINES.TXT so that they're applied during the GUI part of setup. HKCU registry tweaks applied at that time are applied to the Default User profile and therefore applied to every user who logs onto the system from then on.

Here's one I found on a quick search: ; Epson Stylus Printer - Disable the Tray Icon [HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\EPSON\STM3\STMData\EPLTarget\P0000000000000000] "TrayIconEnable"=dword:00000000 The printer in question is an Epson Stylus C86 series. It's physically attached to my wife's machine and shared. I found the key on my workstation where I have the printer mapped across the network and verified that the same key exists on the machine the printer is physically attached to.

The correct way to actually update it without having LiveUpdate issues is to grab the lastest .XDB file from: ftp.symantec.com/public/english_us_canada/antivirus_definitions/norton_antivirus/xdb/ Place this file in the same folder as your install then add the following commands to your CMD file: START "" /WAIT "Symantec AntiVirus.msi" /passive RUNLIVEUPDATE=0 REBOOT=REALLYSUPPRESS COPY *.xdb "%ALLUSERSPROFILE%\Application Data\Symantec\Symantec AntiVirus Corporate Edition\7.5\" net stop "Symantec AntiVirus" net start "Symantec AntiVirus" The net stop/start will restart the SAV service, which forces it to read the .XDB file right away. If you're doing this during an unattended install just leave out the net stop/start because it'll happen automatically when the system is restarted. This works for all versions from 8.x up.
