Revo Uninstaller – Uninstall Properly with Ease

I’ve been working on computer for quite some time and installed several programs to help me in my job. Over time, I was able to find a program that works best for me and tried to install old programs. However, I had difficulties uninstalling them.

This moves me to try different uninstalling software until I discover Revo Uninstaller. I was really impressed on learning that the program works much faster compared to the uninstaller tools I previously use. Due to the fast and advanced algorithm of Revo, it scans the PC system before and after uninstalling a particular program.

I was even more impressed the programs ability of removing other unwanted files, registry keys and folder that are normally left on the system. It even run despite broken installation and scans for program data stored at the hard drive as well as Windows registry and displays all found registry items, folder and files thus allowing me to delete them as well. These are some of the things that I noted about Revo Uninstaller.

Enable DMA to reduce processor cycle consumption during burning data to CD/DVD or reading data from CD/DVD

Enabling DMA mode on IDE channels will consume less processor cycles almost reduce consumption of processor cycles from 50% to 5%. Windows 2K/2000 and Windows XP fail to enable DMA on IDE devices automatically. Though enabling DMA will not boost writing speed on to the disk, it will consume less processor cycles which can be used for another purpose.

By default PIO (Programmed Input-Output) transfer mode is set on IDE drivers in windows XP and 2000. PIO transfer mode consume more processor cycles because the central processor transfers data word by word or byte by byte.

When DMA transfer mode is enabled, small processor called DMA controller takes the burden of transferring data between IDE devices. Once the central processor starts the data transfer and transfers the control to DMA controller, the DMA controller looks after the data transfer and after completing the total transfer the control is transferred from DMA controller to central processor thus the central processor gets less involved in the transfer and so CPU cycles are saved which can be used by another programme.
