    Kingston SSDNow V+100 96GB SSD - Slow?

    Thanks for the replies folks, I hoped it was a SATA 1 limitation on the laptop and nothing else!

    Kingston SSDNow V+100 96GB SSD - Slow?

    Hello all, I bought and installed my first SSD in my laptop, and it doesn't seem as fast as I thought it would be. I'd be grateful if someone in the know could look at my Crystalmark score and see how it looks. Thanks in advance!

    Manage Iphone without Itunes, on two PCs.

    Ok, done me some digging and I seem to have a solution to syncing the music and calendar, but not contacts. So, can anyone suggest a method of syncing outlook contacts to an Iphone, without using Itunes?

    Manage Iphone without Itunes, on two PCs.

    Hello all, I'll be getting my hands on an Iphone 3GS in a couple of days, and have a couple of questions regarding syncing & content management. I'll preface this by saying that I'm not an existing Itunes user. My work PC holds my contacts, calendar appointments, notes & tasks, and my...

    Help understanding DXVA, CoreAVC, iTunes & WMP11.

    I’ve upgraded a friend’s machine, primarily to play 1080p .mov files created from a Toshiba Camileo S10 camcorder. I think these videos are compressed using the H.264 codec (if that’s even a codec!). The old machine had a socket 939 Athlon 64 3700 & an ATI x850. I replaced...

    Asus A8R-MVP & Windows 7 Trouble

    I’ve run into an issue during a clean install of Windows 7 using the above noted board. Once the install has completed, and the desktop loaded, a process called “system interrupts” uses about 90% of one of the two cores (x2 3800). I’ve done me some Googling, and some people (with different...

    Errors at POST – Your thoughts welcome.

    Looks like a possible battery issue. The BIOS had reverted to an earlier state which re-arranged the boot order, and fan control settings. I replaced the CMOS battery about a year ago, they should last longer than that, shouldn't they?

    No Audio Since Installing 9800GTX+

    I've given up. I've tried clean installs of Vista x64 & Win 7 x64 and various old new & inbetween drivers. I've even installed an SPDIF pass through cable. I cannot get audio to work. So, I've decided to buy a discrete sound card. I don't need anything fancy, as long as it doesn't...

    I'm going to try repairing the boot manager, then will investigate the fan issue.
