    Office 2013 Pro...Now I like it!

    Just had to share. Been working in Office 2010 for the last few years, upgraded to 2013 Pro (because it only costs $10 with the MS work at home price). At first I hated the new ribbon, and how the apps open, how they look, etc... So I tried as much as I could to make it look like 2010...

    Anyone else compress their SSD on SP?

    I went ahead and compressed the entire drive on my 128GB Surface Pro after reading some performance reviews on compressing SSD volumes to gain a little disk space. Surprisingly, it really doesn't impact performance at all and actually makes some apps load faster. I now have 90GB free space on...

    Perc 5/i poort performance?

    I just got one of these cards (minus battery) with 256 MB ram, decided to see if I can get my read/write speeds better than the ICH10 and even with WB forced on in the card, the PERC 5/I controllers write drive performance is about 1/2 of the straight ICH10 performance. I am not using the card...

    Is Intel trying to help AMD by soldered CPUs?

    Just heard Intel will be making broadwell in BGA packaging, meaning no removable CPU socket. Is this a good thing? Along with the Surface, Intel might try forcing everyone to buy Intel motherboards just to get the new CPU. Maybe AMD will see this as an opportunity and stay with sockets, they...

    Win 8 Pro Up - $39

    I think I jsut got a deal, worth a shot just to see how it really is. Office Max lists the WIn8 Pro upgrade with MaxPerks for $39. I went to Office Depot by mistake and they matched it straight up, no questions and no bickering about MaxPerks (what ever that is), for $39. I think they gave me...

    Does H50 fit i7?

    All my basic parts are on the way now and I want to do something other than a big hunking heatsink. Will the corsair H50 fit on an x58/i7-930 system? I have a $50 card for Compusa so it seems like it would go well toward a cooler like this if it will work.
