Okay, a few questions...

[VelvetClover]

I've noticed there are quite a few clever "techies" here on the forum and I have a few questions about programs installed on my computer, what they are and how many of them I don't really need.
+rep to the best answers!

What are these?

Atheros WLAN Client
AVStation Now
Bonjour
Easy SpeedUp Manager
Microsoft Silverlight
Microsoft SQL Server 2005 Compact Edition [ENU]
Microsoft SQL Server Native Client
Microsoft SQL Server VSS Writer

There's more but I'll edit/repost when I can be bothered.

You need bonjour for syncing iPods properly now adays aswell.

Atheros WLAN Client - You meed for your wireless card.
AVStation Now - google it

Easy SpeedUp Manager - google it
Microsoft Silverlight - shockwave/flash kind of plugin from Microsoft.

Microsoft SQL Server 2005 Compact Edition [ENU] - SQL Server
Microsoft SQL Server Native Client - SQL Server Client
Microsoft SQL Server VSS Writer - SQL Server Writer.

What is a wireless card and what is SQL?

[TheMagicTramp]

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/SQL - SQL

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wireless_card - Wireless Card

Atheros WLAN Client - Wireless Card - Probably Wanna Keep
AVStation Now - Multimedia App for Laptops/UMPCs - Not Needed
Bonjour - iTunes/Quicktime Module for Apple devices. - Probably Wanna Keep
Easy SpeedUp Manager - What the frick. - Probably not needed.
Microsoft Silverlight - Microsoft's Web Plugin. - Probably Wanna Keep

These three, if installed, are probably critical to some program you have on your computer, they are for databases etc.:
Microsoft SQL Server 2005 Compact Edition [ENU]
Microsoft SQL Server Native Client
Microsoft SQL Server VSS Writer


The wireless card is for your WiFi/Wireless LAN to get on the network and/or internet.

Easy SpeedUp manager is something developed by Samsung, probably to help speed up your system.. I dont THINK you need it.

EDIT: It apparantly changes the temperatures that certain fan speeds come on. I'd keep this one

I'm gunna guess you have a Samsung system then, because on my Samsung machine I have AVStation too ;P
