    CPU choice for retro build

    Didn't some versions of Windows 7 include a virtualized XP?

    Refinancing

    And the interest, unlike many of the fees, is tax deductible. There are a lot of moving parts to this process unless you're dealing with a 'streamline' refi that I've only seen in connection with a V.A. loan but might apply to others. I'm not in the business; just have years of experience as a...

    Refinancing

    Have you considered just making the 15 year payments on your current 30 year loan? Just make sure to specify extra principal. You may not get much lower rates anyway and this gives you the flexibility to make the increased payments or not each month.

    For those who ride

    Years ago, I used to be afraid of an 80+ year old in a big Buick; now it's a 16 year old in a Mustang on a phone. More and more though, I ride only on country roads and I'm increasingly a fair weather rider.

    For those who ride

    I know exactly how you feel; I'm at that point too. I've been riding for over 40 years and at the end of every season lately, I think it might be time to give up the bike. I've had all sorts and sizes of road bikes; right now a 6 cylinder Goldwing. There's no shortage of stupid out there...

    i5-2400 vs i7-2600 for gaming?

    With the right board, you can also likely get the 2600 as high as 4.2GHz.

    Replacing AC unit

    Yeah, probably a bearing on the motor for your return/recirc. air inside.

    Replacing AC unit

    The outside unit should be where the compressor is located, not with the furnace.

    An SSD? It's generally the compression that takes the CPU horsepower.

    Locating wires in wall ?

    Many of the newer battery powered studfinders have this feature but the power has to be on to detect it. They sell for around $20.

    I5 2500 cpu fan start and stop after 3 sec with no beep

    With the i3 installed, see what version the BIOS is and go to the motherboard website and see if it supports the i5. If not, use the i3 to update to a newer version that does.

    LSI Raid 6 question

    The controller has probably marked that drive bad after seeing that it's marked as part of an array, and rebuilt or is rebuilding your array using one of the spares. That red LED will stay on as the drive has been marked bad by the controller. Are you familiar with the 3ware CLI? you can view...

    Can this Dell be saved? How can I keep it alive with upgrades?

    Yeah, it's going to be hard to beat that deal for the money; upgrade the RAM, add your SSD and you're done. I'm running a similar system with exactly that CPU and it's really quick for general use.

    Can this Dell be saved? How can I keep it alive with upgrades?

    Dell Inspiron 530 uses the same motherboard and BIOS as the Vostro 200 and I have upgraded many with E8x00 CPUs and 8GB RAM; this together with a 64bit O/S and whatever SSD you choose makes it suddenly useable again for general use. If you decide to go with a quadcore CPU, you will need the 03...

    How do you copy text from an image in LibreOffice or Foxit?

    While not free, Adobe Acrobat has an option that does this as well; I think it's called 'make text searchable' or something to that effect and I don't believe it's the default. It makes the resulting .pdf a bit larger but much more useful.

    Is my system too old? Is there any hope for i? Help :(

    Description says it's "Intel Core i5 4th Gen 3.1 GHz" which would make it an i5-4440 but that's new enough that it seems unlikely at that price. (but a great solution if accurate)

    i3-4160 vs i7-2600 (non-K) for gaming

    Yes, the 2600 will top out at 4.2 with a single core (assuming you don't increase bclk) but with all four cores loaded I think it was 3.9. Still pretty good for a CPU not known for overclocking, especially if you can make use of the hyperthreading. And temperatures were relatively low under...

    i3-4160 vs i7-2600 (non-K) for gaming

    I remember the Z68 and Z77 working and the chipsets everyone wanted at the time but there may have been others. I don't remember the specific motherboards but there was a setting called multicore enhancement or something like that and different manufacturers might have called it something else...

    i3-4160 vs i7-2600 (non-K) for gaming

    With the right BIOS, your 2600 non K will likely go to 4.2; I've had 3 of them and they all did without changing the voltage.

    Burning smell from 2000 Honda Accord

    With the engine running, turn the A/C off/on and see if the smell changes; a clicking noise when the compressor clutch engages is normal.

    Quick Look: Any red flags with this home? GF is considering it.

    Look for a fine white dust on one side of trees and any utility poles in the area and you'll be able to tell how much it might affect you - in addition to any noise of course.

    Few questions on fixing up an old house

    It's a very different market than anything I've experienced before. A couple friends who bought recently told me about offering asking price plus 5k and still getting outbid! Best to keep trying and don't fall in love with anything; eventually you'll find one that doesn't have multiple bids...

    Few questions on fixing up an old house

    Yeah, that's a nice area; I live just a few minutes from there in a smaller home built in '85. The Austin market has been crazy for some time now. Good location and good schools if that's a consideration. The Round Rock area is just about as hot; I chose the west side because it's just a bit...

    Garage door only goes up part way

    I've seen one or several of the brackets that attach the rollers to the door get loose and not track straight, putting additional load on the drive motor cause this problem as well. Also make sure the brackets attaching the rails are secure as well but this is probably less likely.

    Tax question: selling primary residence & capital gains

    G33/IHC9 chipset MB: upgrading E2200 CPU?

    Vostro 530? If it's an INSPIRON 530 which uses the same board as the Vostro 200, update the BIOS if necessary, with the current CPU and drop an E8400, 8500 or 8600. Instantly faster, faster FSB and much more cache. For me, the most cost effective was the E8400 due to price at the time...

    Is this amount of paint / clear coat fade normal for 10 years?

    Honda repainted a lot of cars from around then, free of charge for just this symptom. I had an '08 Civic that was included; might be worth looking into. They even scheduled a date when they could provide a loaner. I think they had it 4-5 days.

    Are there any full-sized ovens that run on 120V?

    The problem is that to generate the same heat/power, a 120v oven would need twice the current as a 230v one and a 230v one already requires quite a bit. Also, some very heavy wiring all the way to the breaker panel and of course double the breaker capacity.

    Bottom line- most of their publicized deals are loss leaders; if they did mail order, most of what they shipped would be loss leaders.
