Digital Camera Guide

Digital Camera Guide So, it's time for a digital camera huh? Well, buying one can be more than a little difficult. What types of features should you look for? Well, this guide will tell you that plus get you a little more familiar with what these cameras are capable of. Megapixels When it comes to megapixels, the more the better. I recommend a minimum of 2, but 3 or 4 is great. We did a test to see if a camera with 2.3 megapixels (actually 1.92 - 1600 x 1200) could produce a good quality 8x10. Turns out it can, if you have the right paper and printer. We used HP Premium Plus photo paper with an HP 970 series printer and made a fantastic 8 x 10. Remember, I was a professional photographer before I got into computing, so I know a good print when I see it :-) The resolution at 8x10 (we had to crop in to make the picture proportional to 8x10) was only 150 DPI. Most printers would not make a real good 8x10 at that resolution, but this one did. So, if you want to be sure you can...

BIOS Update

All latest Motherboards today, 486/ Pentium / Pentium Pro etc.,ensure that upgrades are easily obtained by incorporating the system BIOS in a FLASH Memory component. With FLASH BIOS, there is no need to replace an EPROM component. Once downloaded, the upgrade utility fits on a floppy disc allowing the user to save, verify and update the system BIOS. A hard drive or a network drive can also be used to run the newer upgrade utilities. However, memory managers can not be installed while upgrading. Most pre-Pentium motherboards do not have a Flash BIOS. The following instructions therefore do not apply to these boards. If your motherboard does not have a Flash BIOS (EEPROM) you will need to use an EPROM programmer to re-program the BIOS chip. See your dealer for more information about this. Please read the following instructions in full before starting a Flash BIOS upgrade: A. Create a Bootable Floppy (in DOS) •With a non-formatted disk, type the following: format a:/s •If using...

Windows 7 review ( Hot or Not )

I was one of the early adopters of Vista & also one of the early Quitters of Vista. Vista was building much hype but in the end it was not able to sustain that hype & eventually became a disaster. After learning from mistakes in Vista Microsoft again releases another OS named Windows 7. Windows 7 is the new buzz around. So after falling for the same buzz I finally downloaded the Windows 7 Ultimate (Build 7100) from Microsoft site (I don't trust Torrents for downloading such softwares). After 10 hours complete 2.36 GB of Windows 7 was in my hand. In hurry I burned the iso file to a DVD & started to install it. My system already had Windows XP SP3 fully updated installed. The first thing I noted about Windows 7 is the ease of installing. Just pop in the DVD select to upgrade or complete new install, select the drive in which you want to install, & Sit back. It was very fast & simple. No unnecessary clicks or bugging graphics. I was shocked to see the overa...
