My finances have unfortunately changed and I am no longer looking for any parts. Thanks for the Reply's and PM's.

JCNiest5, wish I could stretch my budget for that setup. Would make a heck of a base for a killer rig.

Budget is small around $350.00 or so. I found a deal on an old HP with an i7 860 complete system( low end graphics and barely capable power supply but 8 gigs of ram) but I am interested in going with something in the sandy line so I'm curious to see what is available on the ole forums.

What is there to like about Corsair: 1) If it is broke- They fix it. Getting warranty work done is easy and painless unlike other companies. 2) Breaking it is neigh impossible. I've had multitudes of Corsair products over the years and I have to say their failure rate is much lower than other...

me wants!

Pick Me! Pick Me! It's the only way to save my aging laptop. Without a SSD Transplant the Doctor doesn't think she will make it!

In a year you have created rocking video cards. Way to go!

I'm old and need "assistance" in hearing who is sneaking up behind me!

Me me me me me! Woot! Please me!

Not sure what has happened but the day before yesterday I got an error stating Windows update service had stopped. I tried to run and it said the service had stopped and I needed to restart. That didn't fix it. I tried to manualy start Windows update and checked BITS and it was also off. I...

I have no clue what powerbiosserver.exe is. A google search turnes up nothing. It is causing my laptop to crash and reboot without warning. It might take 10 minutes for it to crash or it might take 7 hours. I didn't have this problem before I decided to reload Vista SP1. I loaded the latest...

OutPost Antivirus all the way. They have a 64-bit ver. Not a 64-bit compatible ver like almost everyone else. It also does a very good job with spyware, has Anti-leak control (which basically tells you when something wants to modifie critical registry entries), and a cool auto learn feature...

pretty much except you choose which programs to load. An example: I cleared enough room to install Prey. The game did run better. Loads were much faster.

I forgot to post above I'm running the 64 bit version. Mine is working great. I have ver. 1.0.7.1029. I did see an improvement as I posted above thought I did not do any true benchmarks. I do have ready boost and ready drive disabled I use it soly for turbo ache.

I prepared my drive for BitLocker. I do not have a TPM chip on my lpatop but according to the doccumination you don't need one if you use a removable drive( thumb drive). Now when I try to turn on Bit locker I have no option to. Just a big yellow bar stating I do not have TPM chip. How do you...

I posted a thread about the same thing a while back and it seems not many people have it. I heard at one point Intel had issues with vendors implementing it. I have a 4gig card on my Sager NP 5797. Now my laptop is decked out with almost every bell and whistle. I tried a 32gig ssd card and Turbo...

Sorry, The Correct name is Turbo memory. I bought a Sager NP 5796. Pretty much decked out. This is what it says: Say goodby to long startup and load times with the new 2GB/4GB Intel® Turbo Memory, enabling Windows Vista® ReadyBoost and ReadyDrive support. Along with application Pinning...

OK so I have been digging around for a while now and I am Stumped. I have a new laptop and I have a 4 gig intel Turbo Chache card. From what I can find out and what I've seen it seems to basicaly do the same thing as ready boost just on a manual level. i.e. you tell it what to speed up. Now my...

vista ultimate 64bit

My fault I should have said won't instead of wont and can't instead of cant. Thank you for nitpicking a thread you apparently had nothing constructive to add to.

So the memory wont make a difference but will the cores. I know the GTX has more core processes higher bandwidth but does it make a difference?

1920 x 1200 not high enough?

I'm about to buy a new laptop and I am pondering which Graphics card to get. I am looking at either the 9800m GT w/512 memory or the 9800GTX w/ 1 gig memory. My question is the extra 512 of memory really going to make a huge difference? I notice that on desktops it doesn't seem to help much...

XP embedded is great for thin clients with little resources. I run Internet cafes on military bases in Iraq and we use XP Pro embedded. You can run a lean OS with just the features you want. our thin clients have geo 1.3ghz procs with 1gb flash drives( hard drives) and 1 gig of memory and they...

But can it hurt system preformance? I am also looking at a new laptop from Sager to replace the one I got last year. It has the Turbo memory.. 1 Gig which is split in half. 512 for Superfetch ans 512 for ready boost. I am buying 4 gigs of memory for the laptop as well. Not I read on AnandTech...

I currently have a sager 5760-v decked out and am looking at upgrading to a Sager 5791. I have the option of going with a Nvdia Go 7950gts 512mb or a Nvidia 8700m gt 512mb. Now my current sager(5760-v) has a G0 7900gtx 512mb card and it works like a champ. I noticed on their website that...

WD has a new Scorpio drive that is a whopping 320gigs! I found limited info HERE that says it is compatible with the PS3. Though the article says it can be had for $200 the cheapest and only place I found to carry it wasCDW for $269

Thanks, I had been searching for PS3 Hard drive Mods and didn't find squat. Just what the doctor ordered.

I've done a lot of searching and I know it can be done. Does anyone know a good stie for adding larger hard drives to the ps3? Also doen anyone know the largest drivsize it will support? I have the old 20 gig ver.

I don't know what controller you are using for your PS3, But I picked up a bluetooth controler for mine for like $25.00 and it kicks @ss! You can point it any way you want and it functions. Go Bluteooth! I dumped my DVD palyer all togehter as I think the playback on both DVD's and Blue Rays is...

In the end it will end up being amoot point if I can't get it to work. It's not like purchasing a copy of xp will break the bank ;)

I wone my copy online a while ago. Never really looked to see if it was oem not. I just loaded it on our HTPC and never looked back. I do understand the OEM/Retail deal though I didn't realize that Media was eom only.

damn I forgot about that. My copy is Retail not OEM. Well that solves that.

Then I wonder why the CD Key of the bottom of the laptop did not work.

OK heres the skinny. While my boss was laid over in germany he got bored and bought a new sony laptop with Media center on it. So he askes me if the language can be changed. I tell him "nope sorry". Now I have a copy of XP Media Center so I do a fresh install and try to use the cd key his Sony...

If it's still up for sale and Someone would vouch for me I'd be interested. I am actualy working in Iraq and will miss Christmas. I have two children, Abigail is 7 amd Maxwell is 4 and they infact had asked Santa for a new game system for Christmas. We have a playstation 2 but the "kid" game...

If you decide to part out I may be interested in the 2 1gig Corsair ddr sticks.

swiftech mcw 5000 rev 2 let me know if your interested.
