ok, this is one beast of a machine! Well framed, as if it's in the cpu housing itself and with a fiberglass transparent panel.
I'll try what you've written on my machine, hope it works, 'cause my pc has becoming more slower. tfs john!

Tu PC parece una ciudad vista desde el cielo.
Sus torres, calles, colores...y hasta parece que hay personas por las calles.
Original POV.
Saludos John.

Gossie, John.
DAT had ik eerder moeten weten.! Had mij 1000 euro gescheelt.
Nu een nieuwe VISTA, dual core 6400 met 1gb geheugen en snelle grafische kaart, en nog maar een 19" TFT monitor aangeschaft. (Aldi)
Veel spul 'lust' het van de oude XP (3 jaar) niet.
Ik had beter de XP, leeg kunnen maken, hij werd wat traag, en opnieuw beginnen.
Nu 'draaien' ze beide naast elkaar. lol
Groeten, Jan

Hoi John,
Handige tip! Ga ik zeker even uitproberen.
De foto zelf, tsja, ik zie het flitslicht er duidelijk in. Kun je beter volgens mij. :-) Het is wel scherp overigens. Goede kleuren ook.
Heb je mijn "2 generaties" nog gezien? Een computer uit 1976 !!
groeten,
Joop!

Nice capture of my world :-).

BTW: Only do that patch if your memory is over 1GB. This can cause major operating system instability without a lot of memory. 512MB is really the minimum you should have.

Hi JT,
A techie and a trekkie--- amazing ! Nice posting Sir John. As an electronics person, I'm trying to read who makes the resistors, heatsinks, capacitors, transformers and connectors. (lol). Happy Easter and TFS JUlie

Hello,
How the patient goes.
Interior of the belly of a computer, where is the heart, the liver, the spleen, the stomach and the intestines, Doctor John.
Me the operations, I leave them to my processing specialist my son.
Good, this evening, as the French tradition wants it, the bells willn't sound more before Sunday morning, they flew away for Rome, I hurry, because I am a late small bell, I remained too much on TL. Flop, flop, flop ,flop ....(noise of my wings ;OD)

Wow, thanks for the tips John! I upload so many shots in RAW or Photoshop format and they end up taking up lots of memory on my hard drive, so I can really use this.
The photo: excellent square composition and framing, which is something you do not see often. The exposure and contrasts are very good, especially in a situation where you can easily overexpose the shiny parts of the computer with the lighting used. Good lighting coming slightly from the side to show all the detail and the crammed and chaotic look of the computer (ironic since computers are machines simply for organizing ;P). Nice warm tones throughout and good balance between the large round thing and the red flat cord (can you tell I know little about how computers work? ;P). The bold black frame with the few pixels of white in-between make the photo pop out and also contain it. Great advice and shot, TFS!

Great look at the inside of your PC John! Another tip is a good cleaning, I have a little kit of miniture tools that adapt to a regular vacuum. I just cleaned mine after my PC started to seem to kick into hi gear & the fans kicked into high speed. I found the heat exchanger fins for my CPU chip open on the back but the top & bottom were plugged with dust. After cleaning my PC is back to normal. Hope you have a great Easter week-end!

Hi John,
This is pretty original and inspiring. I would have had difficulty illustrating a note like yours ! The different colours inside, take the picture interesting.
Please continue to share those "secrets".

John, Thanks for this steps here I will try this on my other laptop first. I have 1GB Ram and my Dell laptop was slow so I had to reinstall windowsXP and Virus software. So I will now try this and see what it does.
Thanks David

Hallo John.
Vanaf mijn jeugd tot einde werk zat ik in de electronica en ben blij dat ik niet meer hoef te sleutelen, ook al ontkom je er niet altijd aan. Dus wat ik zie is iets wat ik liever dicht laat of aan andere uitbesteed.
Ben blij dat er nog mensen zijn die geinspireerd raken en het zelf mooi op een foto zetten.
Goede uitleg van de werkzaamheden.
Veel succes en groeten Frans

Johnny, good to see your head inside the COMPUTER. Ok, will call you here for any of my computer problem *_^.

ABout the photo, nice detailed view. Definitely I could see almost all parts inside, all your cards, fan, power box etc. Sharp.

Good note....TFS.

HAPPY EASTER! Vandana

Hiya Johnny,

Nice shot of the internals my friend and in good detail too. Don't get any closer though mate or that CPU fan will be causing a funny buzzing on the end of your lens :)

Good bit of advice Johnny but I think I'll leave my 'Paging File' intact thanks. I tend to have my max & min virtual memory set to half the amount of system ram available (2GB.) I like to have the overload available just incase! even with nearly a terabyte (TB) available. Any crashes due to lack of memory would only frustrate me even more :)

Great capture

Johnny

Hi John,

Thanks for the tip. I tried it on my desktop which I have not used for a long long time because it has become soooo slow and wow it works. Now I can use it again. Have a good easter John.

Excellent compo, colors and framing. I've always found something fascinating in the inside of a computer. I like the red-black contrast.
TFS and have a wonderful Easter !

Hi John,

That funny, in the summer my computer is like this open to season all of the summer, for being a lot of heat, and him linked the whole day, then for not warming up a lot I leave always open. A good and big computer science class for our members that never saw a pc inside.
Congratulations for the look and clue.

Hi John,
First - it's a very original capture with excellent colors and details.
Second - I don't think it's a good idea to disable paging on the home PC. If you have a 2GB or more , may be. But it very danger...

Well done
Alex

Hi John,
so you took your PC apart, hope you'll remember how to put it together ;-).
Excellent details you captured and the light add nice warmth which suprisingly sets a wonderful ambiance to such a complex subject ;-).
TFS..Sky

A beautiful aerial view of a silicon valley....... where I can see the busses, stores, junctions etc.

Indeed the comentary note is useful and I would like to add a little more for Celeraon users - Please be careful if you have an "Alfa" series Celereon processor with only 128K cache. The tip given in the note is extremely useful for Pentium IV, Duo and Centrino processors and also for AMD Athelon, Turion and Opteron processors. Likewise not recommended for machines having AMD Sempron processors.

Thanks for sharing a beautiful image and also a useful information.

Nice shot of the inner side of your photo tool, well it is, isn't it?

Interesting note, fortunately not useful for me ;-).

Good framing.
