Hardware & Devices

I am no expert in these things. But I do know that I can read such properties from the Networking interface, or from the Device manager (if you're having Windows). Otherwise, you can always check for the Mac address for your own system (Read the manual?) The shit I complain about It's like there ain't a cloud in the sky and it's raining out - Eminem ~!

I have a Dell sitting on my desk with a broken hard drive... I guess Dell is still using cheap parts (reference to this[^]). :sigh:

about a year ago i develop a concept of POS system ( it`s demo one ) with a food reservation system also, in details you must provide features of your system you want to determine what hardware you need.

This was a Windows 7 Home Premium distribution that was downloaded from a largely unknown Micro$oft webpage. I had a license on my old notebook and needed to do a complete reformat & reinstall, and did not have the OEM disc handy; I used the key from that OEM (which I fortuitously had e-mailed myself), and was eventually given a new key to stop the stupid messages. (I used that new key for this latest install.) The system using that hard drive has been discarded, although the hard drive for that has converted into an external drive via an HDD Box; it will no longer be used as a boot drive, and will be reformatted when the files from there have been properly offloaded. I will try that Linux Live.

Thank you If it's not broken, fix it until it is

The USB servicing by Windows is running with a higher priority but not your application. At first you should check if the driver for your USB device supports increasing the size of his internal receive buffer. This may help if the default size is smaller than your 34 KB. A common solution would be using a worker thread running with a higher priority to receive the date and store them in a ring buffer of sufficient size. The thread must be of course event driven (new data available). When all sample data has been received by the thread it can trigger the next sampling and send a user defined message to your GUI thread indicating that new data are available. Tasks delaying your communication are mainly hardware related actions like disk and network transfers. When you have implemented the worker thread you can check for missing acquisitions by starting such actions (e.g. copying files from a network share to a local disk or USB drive). If necessary, increase the priority of the worker thread. But note that this is a rather simple and system dependant method. I have done this for a serial communication using a serial to USB converter where status line events must be handled before the next event occurs. This does not answer all your questions but I hope it will be useful.

Apart from the first thing being that "you know the C# language, and the specification about the device architechture", you need to know that there is no such device yet created (or in my knowledge) that can run when it is "off"; as you've mentioned. Then, you can go and Google for any such device, that you can find helpfull, in executing your set of instructions, if you're not going to purchase a server. There are multiple choices for you to select from, and you will find yourself easy to find a lot of new devices in the market that let you kick-start your projects by coding them out. Raspberry Pi is one of them, and you can write application for it, to make it work as you want it to.

Try installing windows 7 first and then restore the image with a running windows not from the setup disk.

As Michael Reyes already said it depends on the use. This is what helps me to decide what would be a good upgrade: http://www.cpubenchmark.net/high_end_cpus.html[^] Just be sure to know that passmark is a synthetic benchmark which means the actual performance in applications can be slightly different. However it is still a viable way to help you to decide what CPU to buy.

If the PC's have additional video outputs it is very likely to be possible.

FYI... if your power was that far off, you'd probably have major problems. Things would flicker on/off or alternatively smoke would start coming out of the power supply or associated regulators (if it was a short causing fluctuations).
