    Socket 1155 heatsinks fit Socket 1150?

    At around $30 MSRP, I might just pick up the newer 212 Evo. I am selling my old rig anyways so I'll just leave the Hyper 212 on the Core 2 Quad.

    Socket 1155 heatsinks fit Socket 1150?

    Oh crap. I feel like an idiot. For some reason I thought I had a 1155. Just remembered it was a Core 2 Quad (775). Doh! Thanks. I guess it's time for me to go HSF shopping.

    Socket 1155 heatsinks fit Socket 1150?

    Strange. My Cooler Master Hyper-212 posts do not line up with my 1150 holes. I was hoping to reuse it.

    Windows 7: 32 bit or 64 bit for Atom CPU?

    I think the reason why it's sluggish has more to do with you running a 64bit OS on 2GB of RAM. 64-bit does use more memory - should be about twice. I'd upgrade to at least 4GB of RAM if you want to use Win7 x64. Otherwise, stick with x86 until you upgrade the RAM. PS: I had Windows 7 x64...

    Uber simple OS of choice for old people? (e.g. eeepc style)

    I'm in the same boat. Looking for something stupid simple for mom. However, it'll also need for me to make custom icons, since she likes to watch streaming TV from web sites (some flash based, some are ASX files that's just streaming video). Yahoo the email account I created for her, but have...

    Video cuts out on HTCP on AV Reciever

    Does anyone know about the sleep behavior of WMC in Win7?

    Windows 7 Media Center & 24/7 operation

    Update: I cleaned up the dust inside of the case and reinstalled Windows 7 since the last time I updated this thread. Nothing changed. I think the Win7 driver for the 8500GT just switches video resolution when it doesn't detect the HDMI connection (when my reciever is turned off). I noticed...

    Installing Windows on USB flash drive?

    It did NOT work. :( After the set up was done, it did not want to boot. Just wanted to update followers of this thread. I have a 4GB microdrive CF that I was able to install XP on, so in theory, it should work. Maybe the cards need to support ATA modes to work. I just can't install...

    SSDs that support TRIM natively?

    Not to bump and old thread, but I wanted to thank you for the response. I rarely check the forums, sorry. I did eventually get the 160GB G2 when it was on sale for $470 at Amazon IIRC. Looks like the only worthy SSDs to get are the Intel G2s and the OCZs Vertex and Agility series. Sure...

    SSDs that support TRIM natively?

    With so many SSDs out there now, I'm confused. The only thing I know for certain is that the Intel X25-M G2s have native TRIM support (on Win 7). Are there any other drives out there that also have the same support? I had my heart set on the G2s when they become more available, but the...

    XP to Win 7 "upgrade" ... if clean install is required, how do I activate?

    Your solution? http://www.winsupersite.com/win7/clean_install_upgrade_media.asp Much easier than before. :)

    CoolerMaster HAF 922 filters?

    I love the case, but it's getting dirty real quick! It's not in a spot where I can take out and clean every once in a while easily. Maybe I need to relocate my desk...

    is it possible to buy PC133 ram anymore?

    I think I still have some 128 and 256s.

    is it possible to buy PC133 ram anymore?

    They are rare since they aren't really being made in abundance, so that's the price you will pay. However, there are people (including myself) that have a bunch of them lying around that just want to get rid of them for much lower. :)

    How would I do this? HTPC Newbie...

    Re: CPU for Hulu, sorry I didn't make myself clearer. I meant for HD content on Hulu, which isn't a lot I guess. Maybe it's just me, but even on standard def stuff, it still seems a bit jerky. Oh, definitely get Hulu Desktop. :) And all signs point to HDTV or LCD monitor. :D
