Ok at work we have a couple Dell Precision m4600 laptops. These were ordered at the end of 2011, first of 2012 and came loaded up with windows 7. The version of 7 they came with had "xp mode" which we use at work on a daily basis. If I am correct, the current versions of 7 that Dell ships do...
A good many people in this thread don't get it at all. Of course all of us read dialog boxes and pay attention to our computers and are nerds. The problem is that 99 percent of those using windows do not, especially older non tech savvy people and work computers where a user does not have time...
Where I work, we are running a untangle box/ firewall on a old athlon 64 system I built back in maybe 2003 or 2004? It has a epox motherboard anybody remember those? I used to love their boards what happened to them? Anyway it is running the drive it was built with, a maxtor diamondmax plus 9...
I call bs on saying that a g1610 cannot run 1080p video without loading up to 100 percent. Something was wrong with the setup. Even a 1037u, (1.8 ghz) doesn't do this. I agree that h81 is a nice chipset for the money.
nice biostar finally booted it out the door! Better late than never I guess. I am not sure how long it will sell, but the newer celerons such as the 2955u are not much of a upgrade. The idle watts may be down by one or two, but with the lower clock speeds the performance is probably a wash.
I agree this is the reason. Industrial type business machine replacements is probably the situation this is most seen good for. Some things are still fine on ide though. I have a dvd burner that is ide, and there is no reason to swap it out at all unless it broke. Some of the best dvd drives...
Some claim that external drives are internal drives that are culled because they don't pass as rigorous a inspection. I don't know if that is true or not, but if it is then the price savings might not be worth it.
That is pretty cool that seagate is finally coming out with a 9mm 2.0 tb drive.
one disadvantage to a solid state type drive, is that if the drive is not powered up for long periods the data can be at risk. How much of a risk this is varies depending on the type of flash chips used. This is not true for a spindle type drive unless it sits for years and years. You would...
just ordered me a silverstone ps08b today. It def. looks more office and less gamerish. It seems to be about the smallest case you can get for m-atx boards, which was something I liked. Very few cases at that price point have either a front 120mm fan/ filter, or usb 3.0 ports either one. It...
There are 2.5 drives larger than 1tb there are 2tb ones out they are just thicker than the 1tb are. Some notebooks that will work in, some it will not. To me, these are more useful drives for external enclosures (usb powered only) such as the wd passport drives, & small form factor...
motherboard is a biostar A880G+. It has been reliable so far, and I have another samsung1tb and ssd on the other ports working fine. I didn't fool with the cables, because they have the locking metal clips, no way they could have backed out. If it does it again I guess I could switch the...
Ok I had something weird over the weekend. On friday when I turned on my computer, my 2tb samsung drive gave a AHCI port error. Two times in a row the computer failed to boot because it flagged a error on that port during post. On the third attempt it booted normally, but every disk checking...
This confirms what I figured...that it just doesn't make much of a difference. The cpu speed and graphics onboard aren't fast enough for dual channel to matter. It seems those interested in a gaming rig or much graphic work would go with at least a g3220 pentium or a i3 and discrete graphics...
Ok I know this is something not many have probably dealt with, I have a older socket 754 system I am letting my son use for the next few months until I upgrade and kick my current system his way. This board has sata ports, so I plan to put a older ssd (owc 3g 40gb drive) on it to give it a much...
