    WTB: Vista or Win7 DVD with Valid Key

    Do you guys think I'll be able to get Vista HP + MS Office 2007 on the 30GB SSD & be functional? If not let me know what you want for that WinXP, Doug. Thanks, Clocker

    WTB: Vista or Win7 DVD with Valid Key

    Looks like Vista Home Basic might have more modest boot drive size requirements. Might be interested in that too.

    WTB: Vista or Win7 DVD with Valid Key

    On second thought I am reading some things on the 'net that say a 30GB SSD is too small for either and I am stuck with XP. Interested in hearing opinions on that as well. I could potentially take my 64GB SSD out of my main machine and put it into this laptop b& uprgrade the Desktop to...

    WTB: Vista or Win7 DVD with Valid Key

    Howdy- I have a Lenovo R61 laptop. 2Ghz C2D with 2GB RAM and onboard graphics. 30GB SSD. I want to put a Windows OS on it as cheaply as possible. I think XP is just a little too old and would prefer Win Vista or 7. If you guys have anything you would like to give a deal on let me know. I...

    SSDs - State of the Product?

    I don't think TRIM is enabled on these drives. I thought the drives incorporated some type of RAID controller to acheive their high speeds and that you could not implement TRIM on a RAID-0 array. Been a while though.. Edit: Looks like I was wrong depending on what vintage of drive you have...

    question Which Tablets

    I'm running CM9 alpha2 (ICS) on my Touchpad and can't believe how great it is. Got mine for $99 during the firesale but I think the refurbs you can buy now at twice that price still represent a grat value. Streaming my google music on it now as I type tis.

    Vista Problems ? ?

    So my co-worker has three kids and his wife doesn't work. He needs a new computer but can't afford it, his 12 year old P4 system was letting him down. So I dig in the parts bin and this is the gift I build to give to him: Case: Antec P180 M/B: Asus A8R32-MVP Deluxe CPU: Athlon 64 4000+ San...

    Ripping Music to MP3

    Coug needs to start watching Spartacus to feed his inner beast. Didn't know you could actually watch it on the Starz website! http://www.starz.com/originals/spartacus?src=starz_mktg&med=referral&cmp=SPS2

    Spartacus

    New season of Spartacus started on Starz last night. They kicked this season off with the slaughter of a bunch Roman's in a brothel. Pretty much sums of the entire show I think. Excellent.

    Ripping Music to MP3

    Thank you, Captain Obvious. I am not delusional. Yes, I am well aware that you would be unable to hear the difference unless you had high end audio equipment and were in a very good environment, with a trained ear. The thought was that if I could find a lossless format that would work in my...

    Because my car will play WMA but I doubt it will play FLAC.

    Ripping Music to MP3

    I'm going to do EAC/Lame but I think I'll also rip the tracks to WMA-Lossless for comparison. WMP seems to make it pretty easy to try that.

    Android phones: Tips, tricks?

    Why bother with having to plug in your phone every time you get into the car? Just put your music on one of these and all the music is there and ready to sort through and play, however you like, as soon as you start up the car. They are available in pretty large capacities (16GB). Probably...

    It's amazing the people that will show up when you put crap in the CL free section. Usually within a couple hours. I bet these will be gone by the AM but I won't put a price on them. If I just say there's a varitey of working computer parts inside them, an interested party will probably take...

    AMD Radeon reliability goes down the drain.

    I think they just push the higher end ones too close to the limit. Especially with some manufacturers overclocking the cards 'out of the box'. That being said, I don't know what the 68XX cards are all about.

    Me? I would not mind finding a full-featured M/B with CPU. IIRC my Q9950 uses DDR-2 so I would new new RAM too, correct. If I were to get anything now I would want something more full featured & with more I/O options (USB + Firewire+eSATA) than what I have now, EP45-UD3L But right now I'm...

    AMD Radeon reliability goes down the drain.

    I have a used HD 4890 I just bought so I can play some on the cheap titles I bought on Steam during the holidays. Definitely runs hotter and noisier than my G94 9600gt. Cards like the 4890 that need 2 power connections are ridiculous IMO but for $50 shipped I could not pass it up...

    GPU temperature monitoring program

    I don't think there's really much reason to monitor temp other than during stress testing the initial build to be sure it is capable. For that I would use FurMark, I believe it records GPU temperature for you.
