He has an external HDD that he uses for tertiary storage.

Alright, then the total would be $632. As he writes, it's almost exclusively those two things. He often uses scanner software to produce quality PDFs from scanned documents. He specifically mentioned to me that he needs to be able to open numerous web pages as fast as possible. He has a...

1) What will you be doing with this PC? Gaming? Photoshop? Web browsing? etc My father is an author who also needs to have multiple applications open at once, and uses the web constantly. 2) What's your budget? Are tax and shipping included? <$700 tax & ship inc. 3) Where do you live...

Yes

Well, if I can get some out of it for absolutely free (no massive excess heat or stability issues), why not? :) drescherjm, so 3.8 ghz is reasonable to expect then? I won't push it beyond what the minimum expected overclock is.

My girlfriend is building a computer for herself for christmas, which naturally means I am the one who is building it. She got an i3 550 3.2 ghz, and I was wondering what would be a safe fast overclock for it on all-stock settings. She doesn't game or anything, so I don't care about spending the...

Corsair ram is a great price for the quality, lasts forever, and is a well-respected brand that I can trust for my ram, cooling, and psu!

http://img822.imageshack.us/img822/8566/cdmy.jpg I'll try the bios updates.

Crystalmark says the ssd's write and read speeds are about as high as new.

Well, I'm getting a new one as soon as the intel x25-M G3 comes out. I will try a different sata slot and test out this drive with a different sata cable too. If the drive is messed up, I will be quite angry, because I purchased this drive from someone at hardocp.

Intel core i7 920 desktop.

I don't think it's the SSD going bad, because this problem has persisted since I first bought the SSD, and that was a few years back. I have Sata 3gbps, and AHCI enabled. I didn't take any extra steps to install an updated version of RST.

Hi folks, I was wondering if this is normal, or if it is something unique. I have had an X25-M gen 1 since they were introduced, and it has always given me a problem where if I am installing something, copying something, or doing something that results in lots of writes to the disk, I...

Darn, I was hoping to avoid a reinstall. Alright, ill try what you said then when I have some time. Thanks :)

I am using windows 7, yea. The person who sold it to me updated the firmware, this was 4 or so months ago though. Maybe a new firmware is out. sub.mesa, so you think that is this issue? I do still have 20 GB free on the drive. I have reinstalled windows on it before, and it seems to fix it for...

Hey, I have been having this issue for a long time, but it is not extremely annoying so I decided not to bother with it. I have some free time now, so I figured maybe someone here would know what is going on. Basically, the drive seems to have really good reads/writes, the values are what...

It was full screen. Maybe it is just an issue with that particular game & dual monitors... I'll try testing on another game. I'll tell you guys what I find.

Well, I'll program my own utility then and release it here on hardforum :P.

Do you know of any software that does this automatically, or must I program my own? I'm not disabling the monitor manually each time I play again. That would be extremely annoying.

Well I just tried shutting off my second monitor and I got a 15+ fps boost on X3:TC. http://forum.egosoft.com/viewtopic.php?p=3004559#3004559 The first benchmark is w/ 2nd monitor. The 2nd is w/o it.
