    Add more DDR2 memory or replace MB question

    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...

    How hard to add SSD without windows OS media?

    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?

    How hard to add SSD without windows OS media?

    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...

    Worthy low power upgrade to Nvidia 9600 GT?

    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...

    Intel Cuts X25-M SSD Prices, Introduces New 120GB Model

    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.

    Should I put System Mechanic back on the PC?

    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?

    Help requested on how to install my new SSD

    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...

    Help requested on how to install my new SSD

    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.

    Help requested on how to install my new SSD

    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...

    Help requested on how to install my new SSD

    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...

    Intel Cuts X25-M SSD Prices, Introduces New 120GB Model

    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...

    Opinions wanted of Crucial M225 SSDs

    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...

    Opinions wanted of Crucial M225 SSDs

    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?

    Opinions wanted of Crucial M225 SSDs

    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...

    What is wrong with my router/iphone 4 combo?

    I have the Cisco/Linksys WRT54G2 router, the basic BJs G router special. I use it in conjunction with my iphone 4, the only wireless device I own. Whenever I listen to streaming audio with the iphone and the wifi router connection, it stutters and stops constantly. When I disconnect the...

    For cheap (sub $200) monitors, is LED backlit the way to go?

    I fully realize the disadvantages of a TN-display monitor but for an approximate 22" sub $200 monitor, are LED backlits the best way to go? I see at least two in this price range, the ViewSonic VX2250wm-LED and SAMSUNG EX2220X Glossy Black 21.5" 5ms LED Backlight. Or would be the money be...

    STAPLES Desktop $299 Compaq AMD Athlon™ II X2 240

    FYI, this is a decent computer for what it is but it wouldn't boot when I tried to install my 7600GT video card so not sure what exactly it will take for a video card.

    After monitor upgrade, web scrolling is jerky, why?

    After updating from 19" 1280x1024 to 24" 1920x1200 (HP ZR24), web scrolling image update is jerky unless I scroll quite slowly. This is with both Firefox and IE. Is it because the video card has to process more pixels? Even with a Nvidia 9600GT?

    Question about Color Eyes Pro trial version

    I assume that after the ten days you can no longer perform calibrations but will the startup program that loads the profile in the video card LUTs still continue to operate and load the created profiles? Can the software be purchased for less then the $150 they want on their web site?

    Has the PCI-E spec changed?

    Totally off subject but the Compaq computer will not recognize my 16GB tiny thumb drive (forget the manufacturer) at all but will recognize my old 1 GB drive no problem. Why is that?

    Has the PCI-E spec changed?

    The Compaq BIOS is somewhat limited. The only option is "primary video" with options of VGA, PCI and PCI-E. Strangely enough the default was PCI. When I installed the 7600GT, I only had the DVI cable hooked up but after several seconds of no video, I reattached the VGA cable to the onboard...

    Has the PCI-E spec changed?

    Do you think the 6150SE chipset can handle the graphical features of win 7? I read that Vista really choked with onboard video, is win 7 better?

    Has the PCI-E spec changed?

    I know the power supply is only 250W but I believe the graphics card doesn't suck much power.

    Has the PCI-E spec changed?

    I bought the Staples special Compaq Presario CQ5320F as a home PC for the girlfriend, thinking I could install my old Nvidia 7600 GT card. However, when I insert the card, it's not working. Sometimes there is no output but the onboard video still works, other times the PC locks up while...

    Can you build an entry level system cheaper then Dell anymore?

    A friend of mine just ordered one and it wasn't too bad. Less then two weeks after placing order. The thing is, it arrived with a big hole punched in the box side and a dented side. They were pretty good about replacing it though and paid for quick shipment so she got it a little more then a...

    Can you build an entry level system cheaper then Dell anymore?

    What websites should I monitor to pick up on, if another Dell's coupon comes along? I monitor Ben's Bargains but don't recall seeing such a coupon.

    Can you build an entry level system cheaper then Dell anymore?

    I was hoping I could be proven wrong! Dell must get the win 7 OS for pennies on the dollar compared to the consumer cost. The thing I noticed in researching the Dells is you have to stick to the base offerings. They rip the crap out of you on the upgrades, particularly CPUs.

    Can you build an entry level system cheaper then Dell anymore?

    I have an extra Athlon 64 X2 6000+ CPU. I was investigating to see if I could use it to put together a basic home system for the girl friend. However in comparing it to this Dell $400 system, http://configure.us.dell.com/dellsto...en&s=dhs&cs=19 in which I figure the processors are...

    What DVI to HDMI adapter do I need to get

    Guys I appreciate the responses but again, I'm not losing any functionality by cross-breeding the DVI and HDMI technologies? This is definitely better then using the VGA connection?

    What DVI to HDMI adapter do I need to get

    As this says both connections are male, I'm assuming the computer HDMI output and the monitor DVI input are both female? Yes, I would rather buy a cable rather then an adapter.

    What DVI to HDMI adapter do I need to get

    Would I lose any functionality by cross breeding the two different technologies? Also I'm worried about ordering the wrong product as I don't have the PC nor monitor in front of me to look at the sex of the cable connections. Most of the cables I see are designed for HDMI inputs such as for...

    What DVI to HDMI adapter do I need to get

    Friend of mine has a Dell computer with HDMI output (no DVI or Displayport). She is ordering the NEC EA231wmi monitor which has DVI and displayport inputs. I'm assuming it will come with a DVI cable so what adapter do I need to order to connect the Dell HDMI output to the NEC monitor DVI...

    Quick DVI vs. VGA (Dsub) input question

    No, as I mentioned in another post, I will just give and install my 7600GT for her then if the difference is that discernible. I/she is still not sure what she will get for a monitor. She is on a TN budget but I had her convinced to get the Dell 2209WA but apparently (from hard forums), you...

    Quick DVI vs. VGA (Dsub) input question

    My friend is getting a new flat panel monitor (not sure of the brand). If she is happy with her VGA output connection only onboard video, is there any reason to buy a discreet video card just for a DVI output? In other words, is there a realistic difference in image quality between the two...

    Upgrading to IPS NEC 23" IPS EA231WMi question

    Guys probably a Dell 2209WA would perform similarly? I like the resolution of the NEC but don't know if I can get used to a 16:9 ratio. The monitor would be for general use, lots of web browsing, quite a bit of photo editing, some DVD viewing and increasingly minor game playing.

    Upgrading to IPS NEC 23" IPS EA231WMi question

    I'm thinking seriously about this monitor as an affordable viewing real estate upgrade from my 19". I own a PVA and never have seen an IPS. I love the great contrast, both color and text of the PVA but don't like the typical PVA contrast shifting and sometimes loss of dark details. In a...

    Is a 7600 GT still better then any onboard video?

    Ok, should she/we decide the Radeon HD3200 IGP is not sufficient, any links to a good Radeon 5450? Will the HD3200 be able to play 1920x1080 (I think the numbers are right), high def video and run a monitor at that resolution (non-game playing). Off subject but boo on Dell. I was looking at...

    HDMI or DVI ports?

    If your video card and LCD monitor offer both options, which is better to use?

    Is a 7600 GT still better then any onboard video?

    Also there are power requirements. I was looking at the Dell she was interested in (Inspiration 546) and it only comes with a 300W power supply.
