Thanks guys...looks like I'll be using Dr. RAMDisk

I just heard about setting up a RAMDisk recently and was wondering if that can be done natively with Win7 or do I need to buy software to make that happen? Also, I'll be getting 8gb of RAM for my upcoming build, should I set it up to have 4gb for the RAMDisk?

Normally Id say build one, but since her computing activities are so light I think youd be better served going prebuilt. Custom built would surely be more expensive.

Thanks, the ability to upgrade is always a huge factor in product choice for me. I'd much rather just buy a new cpu to upgrade rather than have to buy a mobo too. I won't be quick to upgrade though, hopefully this build will satisfy me enough to give mw the luxury of waiting until the price...

Honestly, no. Cause if you had asked me at first what my budget was I can assure you $115 for a 64gb ssd and $65 for that Samsung Spinpoint would not have been included ;) but you guys convinced me it would be a worthy investment so now I'm getting them, hence the "I buy based on what I need...

Ripjaws it is. I have a CPU cooler already, the Xigmatek Dark Knight. Now that I think about it, I think it's pretty clear why it's not a great idea to have music claiming space on my SSD, I would be better served to save that space for programs. Well, that being said, I think the 64gb SSD would...

Touche! Thanks for slapping me around a bit to make me see the light, sometimes I get ahead of myself, this is one of those times. Since I had listed two cpu's, I thought you were referring to the other one I listed when in reality you had suggested a different one altogether. Makes a ton of...

Wow, the audio is that good? That's cool, one less component I'd have to install! I'm not an early adapter so whatever I get will likely stay with me for a while unless I have an opportunity to upgrade for a very good price. The only reason I like the idea as one suggested, of going with a...

Thanks tiraides for all the helpful info, very much appreciated! What drew me to that mobo? Well, I love Asus products in general, I seen that board had the new am3 socket and had all the sockets I need (pci-e, pci, sata, usb 3.0, etc) and it didnt cost too much so i figured it would meet my...

Im not building this rig based on a dollar amount, ill spend whatever is needed to meet the goals I laid out in my post. What does where I live have to do with the products I am considering for my build? I plan on buying the stuff asap. I swear I said I wanted to overclock it a bit in my op. I...

Hey guys, it's been a while since I been here cause my PC has been fine but a couple weeks ago I shut her down one evening and the next day she wouldn't even turn on:( This build has been good to me, it's lasted about 5 years, no hardware issues until recently when my secondary HD crashed (It's...

Well, as expected, my speed did drop off a bit....it's still plenty fast for what I do so not really complaining. My modem/router does do mac filtering though, so don't write that off just yet, however it won't allow me to use my router. Oh well, no biggie.

Wow, all this time later, same setup, here's my numbers now But there's a change coming soon, kinda nervous about it too. We just upgraded to Comcasts Triple Play and elected for the 20mb connection over our current 12mb.....they sent a new modem, a Thomson ACG-905. This modem is also a...

Hey guys, you helped me before so it only makes sense to hit you up now that i need help again I just bought a new 55" LED TV and while I was setting it up I noticed it has a RGB connection for hooking up a PC. That's cool and all but my video card only has DVI so here's my question..... I...

Anybody ever use this program? I just stumbled on to it and wondering if it's worth downloading/installing and doing the work to "normalize" my mp3 collection. http://mp3gain.sourceforge.net/
