Does my processor support Hardware Virtualization/Windows XP mode on Windows 7?

Here is the step by step guide to install Virtual Windows XP on Windows 7, (http://www.windowsvalley.com/blog/install-virtual-windows-xp-on-windows-7-or-enable-xp-mode-aka-xpm/) that requires hardware assisted virtualization.
Since there were few queries, “How do I check my processor support hardware virtualization or can we install virtual Windows XP on Windows 7? So here is simple way to check it out and get rid of such queries.

Download the software tool called Securable from here (http://www.grc.com/securable.htm) . and run this program. This tool does not require any installation so it can be run directly.

It checks basically three features of processors, that covers few aspects:

Is it 64-bit processor?
Does the processor support Data Execution Prevention(DEP)?
Does the processor support Hardware Virtualization? that can be Intel-VT / AMD-V for Intel and AMD processors respectively.

The styles in the Bing are awesome!!… and the search is also having an explorer bar on the left pane of the browser which has the categorized information to make the search easy and find your stuffs very easily and very quick… Bing is the one of the best search engines we have ever and may be it can beat some of the largest search engine competitors..

So i say “Bing!. Bing!. Bing!.” the Bing-er for every one

Adjust Large System Cache

Easy Way to Adjust LargeSystemCache

HKLMSystemCurrentControlSetControlSession ManagerMemory Management and change thevalue to either O or 1 to the adjustment the LargeSystemCache.
However, in Windows XP, all you have to do is:· Right-click My Computer.· Select Properties.· Click Advanced.· Choose Performance.· Click Advanced again.· Select either Programs or System Cache under Memory Usage.Programs = 0 for the registry tweak equivalentSystem Cache = 1 for the registry tweak equivalent

· On NT Server (in this case XP), the Large System Cache option is enabled, butdisabled on Workstation. The two different settings effect how the cache managerallocates free memory. If the Large Cache option is on, the manager marks all the freememory, which isn’t being used by the system and/or applications, as freely available fordisk caching.

· On the flip-side (with a small cache), the manager instead only sets aside 4MB ofmemory for disk caching in an attempt to accelerate the launch of applications. Or in amore technical approach, if enabled the system will favor system-cache working sets overprocess working sets (with a working set basically being the memory used by components ofa process).

BGC3

BGC3 is the next vendor of Bill Gates after Microsoft and the Bill & Melinda Gates foundation. It is a highly mysterious coampany, no one knows exactly what it is upto, and there have been many esoteric suggestions for what BGC3 means. Bill Gates Company 3 seems to be fair assumption.
To full fill all of Bill Gates dreams that could not be realised by Microsoft or the Bill & the Melinda Gates foundation. It will be a catalyst, a base for upcoming technologies and innovations. The company is widely thought to be at “Think Tank” and a vehicle for Bill to invest all his hard earned money into imminent ventures answering problems of science, society & technology.
The swanky new office is located at Kirkland, Washington. The office is located a short distance away from Bill Gates’s Washington Lake estate.
Carillon Holdings was established in March 2008. In July 10, a mere ten days after Bill Gates quit Microsoft, the company officially changed it’s name to BGC3.
All entrepreneurs look out for fundings. Ambitious start-ups with novel ideas that can use up all the money for some philanthropic goal, or to solve major problems like fuel crisis, the garbage crisis or even the substandard software crisis’, all these will stand to benefit.
The details of the working are still obscure at best. They have registered a trademark and a logo. BGC3 is not another capitalist company.
