I have an AMD Phenom II x4 945 running on an AM2 (not even 2+) MB with 4 G memory (win 7 home premium 64 bit). I don't do much gaming these days so although I always have an inkling for more speed, it really is still fast enough for me, for most tasks. The memory does get in the way though...
I understand I could clone the original drive and then copy back the contents to the SSD, but the hardware configuration will have changed with new SSD. Will windows accept that and recognize and configure the new SSD especially since it's a hard drive the operating system resides on?
If I were to buy a vendor manufactured PC today (black Friday) or sometime in the future, I'm sure the windows individual OS disk will not be available, only if lucky a backup/re- installation disk. One of the first things I would want to do is swap out the main drive for an SSD. Is this...
Is there a worthy video card upgrade to my Nvidia 9600 GT that won't require a new power supply then my existing Earthwatts 430W or break the bank ($150 tops, closer to $100 better)? I'm a pretty light gamer these days but am interested in the upcoming Duke Nukem Forever and wonder if the 9600...
Yikes, Lost Planet 2, the included game with the XM-120 is downloading and is going to take 12G of my precious space. I hope the game is worth it. I hope it runs ok on my dated 9600GT.
I'm reinstalling programs after installing my new SSD and I'm wondering if I should bother putting System Mechanic back in. Does it really add value to a modern win 7 system?
For items 9 and 10, I can remove the first partition and then combine it with the second partition so that the drive only has one partition covering the max capacity, without losing the data on the current second partition?
Also if I do a fresh install, my copy of win7 is an upgrade version...
I had just wondered if their might be a problem with Acronis because the drive is a different type and size then the one where the OS current resides in.
Guys as I've received no answers, is what I'm asking not possible? I have searched for SSD install guides and they all pertain to a clean install. Am I forced to do a clean win 7 install? I know with previous mechanical hard drives, usually WD's, they included software to transfer the OS...
I just purchased the Intel 120G from Newgg with the $200 before rebate sale. In my current win7 X64 setup, I have a one TB drive partitioned off into a 200G C drive where the OS resides and then the rest, 800G as a D drive storage. I also have a second 320G drive E that I use for storage...
Slightly off topic but I too just bought my first SSD with this deal. I assume the prepaid card is a Visa card? Is there a way to cash that in at your bank either as a deposit for for cash? I ended up spending my last prepaid card in bits and pieces and ended up leaving a little bit of the...
I didn't pull the trigger but when I checked an hour after the sale started, they were all gone. I do see that for today only Newegg is offering the Intel X25-M 120 GB for $200. This is a much better drive, correct? I really wanted to hold off until tax return in Feb but is this price worth...
Do you think the drives will come just as a bare notebook sized drive or will they have provisions for mounting in a desktop hard drive cage? Also I have an AMD AM2 mb with a Phenom II X4, running windows 7 x64. Will there be compatibility issues with the older mb?
I just received an email from Crucial saying that they are going to have a sale on refurbished M225 SSDs for $1 per megabyte. How do these SSDs compare to the competition? In looking at one review of SSDs, it looks very middling at best. Also should one be leery of buying a "refurbished" SSD...
