Hi I have a new roommate that does software development. He's done a ton of work on a 32 bit Vista laptop for a medical company, and, needs to clone the drive, and install it in a desktop machine. What cloning software would work, and, is there any way to move from Vista 32 bit to Windows 7 64...

I love this place. Where else can we go from a router, to a rooter, and not have the thread closed? ;-)

Newegg: 379.00 i3, FAST, Thinkpad edge Missed it: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16834246093&nm_mc=EMC-IGNEFL042911&cm_mmc=EMC-IGNEFL042911-_-EMC-042911-Index-_-LaptopsNotebooks-_-34246093-L07B

Hi David I'm looking for a portable, fast laptop, like the IBM 201. If you have one used, you want to move, let me know. I have a software guy that needs a desktop, so likewise, if you have something to move, let me know. I'll present it to him, and see if he's up for it. Thanks Greg Santilli

Sale time: http://shoplenovo.i2.com/

Also what about these? http://outlet.lenovo.com/laptops/ideapad/0894xf4.html Seems to have a small form factor, decent price, and excellent processor.

What is the difference between the essential line, and the Thinkpad line?

It's a lot of money for a tiny drive. I did a similar thing, buying two Kingspec 32 gig PATA drives. One works fine, runs aroun 70 MB/sec reads. The other really sucks, and, I'm thinking of taking it apart to find out if it's one of those Chinese drives with a real 4 gigs of memory, and two...

Liam: My home theatre PC is pretty close to that: AMD 64 3200+, 2 gigs of ram, XP Nvidia 9600GT, and boots from a Velociraptor as well. Funny thing was I tried running 64 bit windows, and had all kinds of driver problems with it, so went from an SSD with 64 bit, that didn't have drivers for...

Back to Lenovo. Have a look at how many of their books ship with 32 bit Windows 7? What is the upgrade cost to go from 32 bit to 64 bit Windows 7?

It's been awhile, but, I did get to try David's X-25e powered netbook. If I'm underwhelmed by that, I'm sure not dropping 300-500 dollars for one.

My page showed one available. I went through the entire checkout process, and, it came up invalid product code. Went back to the page, and, it showed 0 inventory. By the way, I can't format the replacement SSD anymore, from Vertex.

If price is an issue, what about this: http://outlet.lenovo.com/laptops/thinkpad/2598rz1.html I'm considering it, just to be able to move to SATA, even though it's pretty much sideways, processor speed wise, and most everything else, from the CF-51.

Bells Beach Contest: One of the best ever. Bells was great, and Sally Fitz was on fire: http://www.surfline.com/video/contests/rip-curl-pro-bells-2011-womens-finals-highlights_54606 Plus Layne Beachley, someone I've talked to when she was Ken Bradshaw's girlfriend, was the announcer, or one...

Well, it's the night before Easter, and Greg doesn't have work tomorrow. Went shopping, bought a 1/2 pound of Goose pate, expecting the cat to eat half. She only had a bite. I'm eating that with 2008 Mt. Eden Estate Pinot Noir, still my favorite Pinot Noir, after 30 years. It's from Saratoga...

X-25E was FAR too expensive. What's the warranty on the X-25M? 5 years. Considering the cost, I might well be dead before the drive wears out. If one breaks, I've kind of learned my lesson that even though you get huge through put, there is a point where bench marks are the only thing that can...

Lunar: I am similarly pleased with the X-25 M's.

Yes, it would look cool. It would probably not require water/oil changes, and cleaning the tank as often;-) Wonder if the standard pumps would work if they pumped mineral oil? ..............................................................................................0 Jumpster just typed...

Anyone tried Altec Lansings lately?

Guy at costco reminded me that the TV doesn't have the costco standard return policy, and, if it breaks, I'm SOL. So, I went with the Syncmaster P2770 27", and while it's not really the right size, if the 37" breaks, I could use it as a primary monitor without much problem.

Klipsch makes a LOT of different speakers, some better then others. I listened to the subs, and the 12" was my favorite, value sound wise, even over the 14 and bigger. The Hereseys are pretty incredible speakers, and, with a powerful amp, they fill in and give a much broader range, then with a...

Altec Lansing used software to enable sound, and, yes, they connected by USB and a Jack. They worked without the driver, but, where not fully functional.

Yes, I stand corrected.

The beauty of Klipsch has always been they can give excellent sound with low power from the amp. In the old days of 30-35 watt a channel amps, that was a big deal. Today, with 100-125 a channel, cheap, it's less so. That said, when I went to the Yamaha, I had a huge increase in sound quality...

I'm using the Klipsch Pro media 2.1 4 speakers and a subwoofer for the computer in my room. Fine for anything in a smaller room, and doesn't shake the walls. http://www.amazon.com/Klipsch-ProMedia-4-1-Certified-5-Speaker/dp/B000062VUP/ref=sr_1_121?s=electronics&ie=UTF8&qid=1302635694&sr=1-121...

My system wasn't even consistently recognizing the stupid monitor. Took it back, and decided that when the TV dies, I might need a monitor that I could use all the time, so, I bought a Syncmaster P2770, LCD. It's kind of fast, 1 ms response time, and it has the software I like, and, it has a DVI...

As an alternative, I have LOTS of Klipsch speakers: http://www.klipsch.com/na-en/products/promedia-2-1-overview/ http://www.klipsch.com/na-en/products/heresy-iii-overview/ The sub went out on the klipsch 5 speaker system I had, and, I bought a new sub speaker for 25 bucks, shipped, and...

I've always held off on the bleeding edge, but I so liked torrents at 1.3 MB/sec that I decided the 20 bucks extra to get 18 mbps would be worth it. Just had a programer move in, and, he wants the upload speed. Uploads go over 6 mbps, then drop back down with this new connection. For some...

I type 70 words a minute. You don't do that looking at the keyboard. However, that said, when it's dark, I do have to find the keyboard before I type on it;-) I do a lot of work where I'm sitting in my room, lights off, watching a movie, and working on something else. On the otherhand, the one...

I was connecting the server to one of the HDMI ports on the 37" Vizio, but the darn cable I was using, from monoprice, worked loose often in the video card HDMI port. I can't help but think that with the weight, and length of the HDMI cables, they are leveraged on the ports, and, with any...

David is probably the guy on this one. I've only used free programs, sometimes with stuff that only a clean install will cure. I am using a ram disk on an XP install, on one of my Panasonic laptops. I use it for caching stuff for Firefox, and, it really speeds stuff up. On another install, I...

Thanks Merc. That got me thinking of another time. Diane made walked in one day to work. The Shadowbrook, in Capitola. My boss, Charles Halliday, had the pick of many beautiful women to work the door, restaurant and bar, and, he usually hired aspiring models, etc. Diane walked in, with her...

I usually buy stuff from Costco, so if I don't like it, I can take it back, or, if it goes defective, likewise. Costco gives me three monitor choices: A 21.5" LCD for 160 dollars SA 350 for 200 dollars, 23" and the 27" for 300 dollars. The 27" is liveable. However, the new power connector to...

or these: 17 bucks: http://us.kensington.com/html/17774.html

I may have to try one of these: http://us.kensington.com/html/17151.html When I go through my next MSFT oem board, I may try one. Only 40 bucks...

Here is the fastest I've ever used. Antioch High School, Antioch. Funny that such a poor school district had such a lightning fast connection:

I am a moron, at least sometimes. Astounds add: "10 Mbps downstream/1 Mbps upstream"

Hi I just upgraded to 10 MB/sec internet from astound. First off, all they did to do that was flash the router from the office, and it's working right around 10 MB/sec. Now this is the part I don't get. Using a Linksys Cisco-Linksys WRT54GL Wireless-G Broadband Router. It's supposed to be 54...

Hi Does anyone have a food, or waterproof keyboard they use and like? Thanks GS

Does bring up a question. What keyboards for home use are spill proof, waterproof, food proof?

Thanks Merc. Last time I talked to her she was in LA, working as a sports medicine therapist. She fell in love with a playboy photographer. She married him, and went to the Caribbean for a shoot. When she came home, somewhere in the midwest, the guy had changed the locks, and moved all her...

New benchmark for SSD. Small foot print, no junk added:

If Angelina Jolie, and Diane Hsu were on bikes, in similar out fits, NO ONE would look at AJ>...

For what it's worth: Hitting a bag dictates the wrist is flattened. In other words, to avoid harm to the wrist etc. the top of the hand has to be flat. We used to tape a ruler on the wrist, and align the rest of the hand with the wrist. This is an excellent guideline to protect your wrists...

My fondest memory, that I can put in print, are walking into a local gym in Santa Cruz in the early 80's, with my trainer/sifu/boss Charles Halliday, and Mike Dixon, at the time, the number one heavyweight Olympic boxer in the world. We walked down a narrow hall way, to get to the weight room...

I have big hands, so I buy big mouses. I also use a wrist rest maybe 3/4" thick, and that seems to really help. I'm currently using a Gigabyte GM 8000, with all the weight in it, and a Razor Deathadder. Both are large, pretty much as big as I could find. I find the wrist starts being bothered...

64 bit cell phones;-0? Out of kindness to my upstairs neighbor, who gets up and goes to work at 4 am every morning, I often use the server with headphones to watch stuff. It doesn't work with PowerDVD 8, but, with Media Player classic it works great to play TV shows, etc. Movies are generally...

The drive is in my server, which has 2 gigs of ram, and, to add 2 more was 150 bucks, last time I checked. Not sure how well Windows 7 32 bit would address 4 gigs of ram anyway. I used IE as a benchmark, pretty much that's it. RAM usage on the server is pretty consistent, minimum 30%, and, with...

So far, running 8 gigs of ReadyBoost, and making that drive the scratch drive for Photoshop. For some reason, apps seem to open very quickly, Photoshop in particular. Photoshop 7 in 9 seconds. MSFT Word 2000, under 2 seconds. Internet Explorer 32 bit 3 seconds.

Final testing use Here is a test of the twin boot Turbos: Here is the blank, replacement Turbo: The drives are running on a PCI-X AMCC 3 Ware 9550SX/9590SE SATA Raid Controller. ReadyBoost for this drive?
