System Information for Windows Vista

Whenever I buy a new computer, I make sure I check all the hardware devices as well as verify on the CMOS and operating system. In Windows Vista, you have what we call the “System Information” which tells you information on the memory chip that is installed in your computer.

Below are the information you would get from this module:
1. Location
2. Maximum Capacity
3. Memory slots
4. Error Correction
5. Use
6. Device locator
7. Manufacturer
8. Serial number
9. Capacity
10. Memory Type
11. Speed
12. Data Width
13. Form Factor
14. Total Width

The above are some of the information that should be more than enough when checking the hardware memory in your box. Make sure you visit these items before finally purchasing your computer.

Unlock Windows using your face

All of the Windows Vista laptops in the office are using the fingerprint technology to unlock the computer.

Well, fingerprint reader for your computer’s password is a thing of the past, now you can use your own face to detect and unlock your password.
The software called LemonScreen does just that. Using the built-in camera, it detects whether you are leaving the computer and it automatically locks down the system. When you step in, the camera detects you face and unlocks your system.

Ok, I haven’t tried this one yet; in case you did, make sure you don’t step away from the computer and shave your beard. It might just not detect your face. Or, make sure you don’t go away for a long holiday, those extra 5 to 10 pounds might just give you problems when using your computer.

Go ahead and visit the LemonScreen site.
