I use Drive Image, an old utility I bought long time ago which works in WinXP.

I did an image right after a fresh install of XP and Office. I did not even use the system yet, so, there should be no crap.

I plan to buy add a new SSD to my PC to speed it up. Although my MB (P3E-WS) is only SATA-2 capable, I will probably buy the Crucial M4 with SATA-3. My question is will I have to reinstall Windows (XP) and all the applications? Last time I install Windows and MS Office, I made an image of...

I am surprised. I am pretty sure if I change my HDD to another "regular" HDD, I can use the backup image. Too bad. Last time right after I installed Window XP and MS Office, I made an image of C:.

This Crucial M4 must be a good SSD. Do I still have to reinstall everything? I was hoping that I can just take a full image backup of C: and restore it to the new SSD.

Thanks for the advices. I see this Adata SSD on sales in Canada Computer for $80. Adata S510 120GB 2.5" SATA 6Gb/s Solid Sate Drive (SSD), Read: 550MB/s Write: 510MB/s (AS510S3-120GM-C) I read that the read and write speeds of this Adata SSD is not too good but it should be OK to...

I must be away for too long. Even the internal hard drives are now SATA-3 now! You are right. If I have to build a new computer, the only part I can retian is the Corsair PSU. Probably the P182 case as well, I like this case a lot. How about the video card, 8800GTS-512? I am looking...

Anyone? Maybe my system is too old? If I upgrade to an i5 CPU and MB, what components can I retain from my current system?

My MB, Asus P5E-WS Pro, is only SATA-2 capable. This is why I asked if SATA-2 SSD will improve performance.

My current system is 4 years old, below are the major components: Antec P182 Asus P5E WS Pro (6 xSATA-2, 3 Gb/s ports) Intel Core2 Quad Q6600 (small OC to 2.8 MHz) OCZ 2P8004GK 4GK 2x2GB PC256 8800GTS 512 WD7500AAKS Corsair 620HX power supply AC Zalman CNPS9700NT The PC is working...

You are right. I may not need an IPS panel for my applications. Any suggestions for a good 24-inch TN panel? How about Dell G2410 ($279 CAN) or Dell ST2410 ($220 CAN)?

I plan to replace my current HP W2207h monitor with a bigger LCD. my applications are mostly browsing and office works. I went to my firend's house and I was impressed with his Dell 2407WFP. This Dell 2407 is a few years old so probably I will not be able to get one. Any suggestions of a...

But first we have to know the core temperatures! There is usually a 5C difference in the reported temperatures from Real Temp and Core Temp.

What is the real TJ max of a Q6600-G0? According to CoretTemp 0.97.1, this is 100C. According to Real Temp 2.24, this is 95C.

Anyone can help me with Q-Fan setting? Maybe I should have bought a 9700LED and controlled the fan speed manually.
