    Which secure erase software to use for C300 ?

    I would use Parted Magic, which has a utility for erasing disks.

    Have you tried AutoHotkey for this?

    Why disable Windows indexing on SSDs?

    Nice benchmarks, but could you crop that image some? :) BTW, do you notice a big difference in how the system "feels" when the performance degrades?

    Specific Mouse Grip

    What about the Logitech G9x? I think my grip is similar to yours, and I've found it to be well-suited for that.

    couple of hard drive questions.

    I wouldn't even divide the 1TB drive into partitions. The problem I had with multiple partitions is that I always ended up running out of room on one, or not using enough space on another. With mechanical drives only, I still would create a separate partition for the OS and apps so that you...

    Refurb - Acer GD245HZ 23.6" 120hz 3D LCD - $189.99

    Can these monitors show 24hz movies with 5:5 pulldown? I'm guessing it can't accept 24hz input, but can it accept 120hz input so that the computer could show each frame 5 times?

    Newegg.com Deals 2/23

    You should have tried putting both in one order. Someone mentioned that worked for him to get 20% off both on the SSDs.

    Crucial RealSSD C300 64GB - $99

    Okay, but are you saying that Windows reports it as 59Gb, or it actually has 59 billion bytes (which would mean that Windows would report it as about 54.9)?

    Crucial RealSSD C300 64GB - $99

    Isn't that the same thing that happens with conventional hard drives, with the difference being that the drive is 64 billion bytes whereas Windows is reporting it in "gibibytes?" If not, I'd like to know if SSDs actually have extra space set aside. I know they have reserve blocks, but those...

    Crucial RealSSD C300 64GB - $99

    It went out of stock last night. The promo was for 20% off any SSD. I was going to buy this but it was OOS when I was ready to pull the trigger. I almost went for the Samsung 470, but couldn't quite justify it.

    couple of hard drive questions.

    For help with the game saves, you might want to try GameSave Manager: http://gsm.duncsweb.com/ They can be all over the place and difficult to find sometimes.

    What ever happened to the Wolfking Warrior?

    How similar do you want? There's the Ideazon Fang, the Logitech G13, and the Nostromo Speedpad (replaced by the Belkin n52te). Those are all gaming keypads, but I don't know of anything else with the circular layout like that one. I suppose another alternative would be to get a number pad and...

    [hot] Toshiba 40" 1080p LCD HDTV $400 AC FS @ Newegg

    120hz and higher sets have a feature that processes the image to make it appear smoother, by interpolating frames in between the real frames. For some reason this has become synonymous with the 120hz refresh rate, even though it's optional. What I would like 120hz for is the ability to show...
