    Fitting Corsair TX650 in Dell XPS 410

    So I ordered a Corsair TX650 power supply for my Dell XPS 410 and obviously, it doesn't latch in as the OEM Dell power supply did. Is there some way I can strap this in or secure it because I have seen people upgrade PSU in XPS 410 Desktops before. Or will I have to just send it back and get a...

    Problem Dual Booting SSD

    So I just bought an OCZ Vertex 2 120GB SSD and installed windows 7 on it. Then I was going to put Ubuntu 10.04 LTS and accidentally hit to automatically have Linux pick the partitions which messed everything up. That led me to format all of the partitions on my SSD in Windows and now when I try...

    Dual Boot SSD

    Alright thanks guys. As far as TRIM goes is it just a feature I turn on or do I have to set it up somehow? And since Linux doesn't have TRIM is it putting more wear on my SSD by using Linux?

    Dual Boot SSD

    Ahhh I see.. Everyone talks about needing to use TRIM when I get my SSD but I don't know how. Is it difficult to set up? And will it be an issue running Linux since Linux doesn't have TRIM, right?

    Dual Boot SSD

    Alright thank you. What is the reasoning for disabling hibernate? And I was wondering about IDE's/Dev tools I should save those onto the SSD? Going to school for computer programming so definitely need to know that. Thanks again JRS.

    Dual Boot SSD

    So I have a 120GB OCZ Vertex 2 SSD on the way and am going to dual boot Windows 7 Ultimate 64 bit and Linux(Haven't decided on a distro yet). I am wondering if this will be enough space to adequately run both OS's efficiently and speedy. Also if I want to use my regular 230GB HDD for media do I...

    I've decided to just splurge on both.

    Hmm I don't think I can afford to upgrade to windows 7 so I will probably stick to Vista, but I wish it wasn't 32-bit. I didn't buy it either it came with my computer so I don't think I can get access to a 64-bit version either. Is there any way I could get a 64-bit version of windows really...

    I've decided to just splurge on both.

    So I am going to get like an OCD vertex 120 gig SSD and upgrade my processor to the critically acclaimed Q6600, used, nonetheless still a Q6600. I am switching over from an Intel core 2 duo 1.80ghz CPU and a regular old 220GB HDD. I have three questions: Will I see a noticeable performance in...

    New processor or ssd?

    Ahh okay thanks. How difficult is it to set up TRIM and the extra tools from the manufacturer? Also would 100GB be enough to run both OS's under this 80% guideline you usually abide to?

    New processor or ssd?

    Ahhh well I just received Vista 32 bit with my current setup back in 2007 I thinkndoes that still count? Yes that would actually help a lot but will still want to run both Linux and Vista 64 bit versions. Is something like this going to work for what I am looking for...

    New processor or ssd?

    I am comfortable swapping out parts for the most part. I was going to look at the dell guide and just do it, I figure it can't be too hard. But how do I upgrade my bios and check if it will take the Q6600?
