I have been looking at various reviews and benchmarks for the SSDs. Anyone able to tell me which SSDs will support the TRIM feature other than the newest Intel? Some reviews talk about updated firmware and such but it still doesn't come right out and state what I am sure is obvious to someone...
2.15 per gig. Not too bad. If the firmware supports TRIM then I would say it isnt a bad deal at all with the Intel coming in at $100 more for an additional 20 gig.
Of course other than the Intel G2 vs G1 I can't tell which other SSD brands supports TRIM.
Anyone know of any time killer games that can be downloaded? looking for a smallish flash type game that is freeware. Recently I have found I have some extra time on my hands and need to kill some time.
Correct. I only upgrade every 2-4 years so by the time I am ready to upgrade again there will be all new stuff out there to look at and agonize over.
I also will be using the computers for work at home stuff in addition to an older CAD program as mentioned in previous posts.
Additionally...
I overclock so I can start talking about it to my wife and she "tunes me out". Bliss and peacefullness reigns supreme for about an hour.
In addition to that I got into OC by way of spending less money on something I enjoy doing (working with and on computers). I get more satisfaction out of...
That is what I was getting at. That I would not use anywhere near 80 gig for programs and OS. So 64 gig (OCZ) should do as well if I opted for that instead of the Intel.
You are correct I think. So if I go with a 64GB OCZ or 80GB Intel I am looking at appx 25-35% of my OS drive being taken up just by the OS and one program huh? Seeing as how I only have two other programs that each run no more than 500MB each that should be a real problem I would imagine. By...
Thumb Drives and external hard drives are banned from use unless you get exemptions and exemptions are assigned to your user profile and given based on a logical need rather than want or nice to have "just in case". All USB ports are blocked from use, this includes most USB peripherals that can...
Because I do not intend to upgrade again until I re-eniust (2014) as well as plan on using Win7. This will keep me going for a good long while with no need for updates or anything for most new games in the coming years as well. Not to mention as posted above the wife will be doing more work at...
Unfortunately I do not have a Microcenter where I live (North Caorlina). Nothing close enough to balance the cost of the gas and time it would take anyway (closest is 330mi away).
Maybe I need to move to be closer :laugh:
I am looking hard at the various SSds that are coming out. How do you tell which SSD has the TRIM featur and which does not? It has been said that is why Intel pulled their G2 SSds back. Are there other SSds that perform as well as the G2 Intel SSDs? If so could you list a few? I see the...
So any recommendations for a 24" monitor? All the ones I am looking at seems to be pretty steep. Not to mention I am now concerned about the input lag as I hear it has a negative impact on gaming and some graphics programs.
So the rig I have will be more than sufficient to run WoW at max settings, that is good to go.
The main reason for incorporating all of these seemingly overpowered (for the intended use) components is my wife does little else except play WoW on her computer. But She is going to be starting...
SunnyD: I hope that WoW will not overpower the CPU that much LOL. No my intent was to see if it would utilize enough of the CPU with the quadcores to make it worthwhile to purchase. I will also be using the computer for work related issues and that is the main intent for the i7. Just...
So if you have TRIM and GC you should be set and have a SSD that will operate like new all the time? Or is it just one or the other? This is somewhat confusing to a layman and I am just starting to read up on SSDs as I hope to utilize them in upcoming builds for the wife and I.
If I...
So rather than read through another several pages (I am at work and can't spend that much time)
Will the G1 work with the TRIM command in Windows 7 now with the firmware ordeal?
Additionally are there comparable SSDs or is Intel the latest and greatest with the G2? I will have to wait 6...
So I am building two new computers for the wife and myself and we both play WoW. I am not up to speed on many technical aspects regarding the game and hardware so I have a few questions.
I am building an i7 920 gaming rig :thumbsup:
How WoW will utilize the CPU at default settings? Not...
Well that is a pretty big Con.
So if I have windows installed and use a software BIOS boot (if there is such a thing?) It can corrupt my windows?
Any other observations?
Not sure what you are using that mchine for. I just went to their website and tried to price out the machine I want to build and they didn't have some of the things I have listed for my computer. Theirs ran about $1850ish and mine is currently running about $1600ish and, like Scoop says I know...
Well this is as close to my question as I can get so I will start here.
My question is:
Is there software that can be used from windows to effect BIOS settings for OC or is getting into the BIOS the only way I can affect it?
If so what are the software suggestions for doing this...
Ok I was re-reading some of the information above. I am looking for a monitor any ideas? I have looked on Newegg and the monitors I am looking at do not support the 1920x1200. I have found one that seems to be above and beyond though: SAMSUNG 2343BWX High Glossy Black 23" 5ms 16:9 Widescreen...
Good info on the number of reviews. I hadn't thought of doing that. I do expect the recommendations to change and hope to see them as I get closer to heading home.
So all applications and programs on the 80GB drive and any and all data on the data drive. So WoW takes up appx 3GB or so...
The next 3-4 months is when I come back from overseas. I can purchase the items a week or two before I expect to be home and have them waiting on me.
Hmm..Core i5? I will do some research as I have heard bits and pieces but thought it wouldn't be out for a long time yet. The reason I am...
The 80Gb and 1TB drive actually comes out cheaper for me so thanks much for that. I was doing a bit of research and will make sure I get an SSD that supports TRIM (whatever that is). I appreciate the information there. I wasn't too hip on the RAID setup but I know my way around multiple hard...
I will look into the PSU and the Video card. I wasn't sure on the power supply and I have always used the GeForce cards. I don't know hardly anything about ATI cards but some reviews I was reading is saying to wait until DX11...any thoughts?
The SSD is not attractive to me due to the...
Hello all,
Let me begin by saying this website was reccommended by a friend. Last time I built a PC was two years ago and it did not go as well as expected but still was worlds better than the PCs I purchased from the store. I will start off by answering the questions in the new PC build...
