Newbie starting a new build with a SSD 64GB drive which I intend to use as the boot and a separate 1TB drive for programs/storage. Question: should I only put the Win-7/64 files on it and/or other files to utilize the speed of the drive? Thanks.

I planning on building a new system and I have been seeing a lot of cases where the power supply mounts on the bottom of the case. I have never seen this before. Is there a benefit to bottom mounting? thanks for the feedback John

I have an asus dvd-rw drive, model DRW-24B3LT. this drive is supposedly supports lightscribe, or at least newegg states "lightscribe support." I downloaded lightscribe software from lightscribe and when I run it the software says that no lightscribe devices can be detected. Sooooooo do I need to...

This was my original post in m.p.w.b. Since I now think my problem is hardware, namely my PSU, I am continuing my thread here. I am, and have been for some time, running XP SP3. Have had no trouble until now. It is on a M3A78_CM mobo with a AMD Phenom 9950 Quad cpu and 4GB DDR2. I find...

Ok, I'm looking for the hottest value (price/performance) AMD motherboard/4 gig ram/CPU/Vid card combo today. But ...... there are limits. I don't want to go over $1000. Less is better. 4 Gig ram is minimum. USB 3.0 would be very cool. Must be compatible with 32 bit XP and Linux. So ......

I need the specs for AT computer cases (cabinets) but am not having much success with a search. Can anyone please provide a link? I need info about dimensions, mounting hole locations, etc. I've been to formfactors.org, but there doesn't seem to be anything about AT except some passing mention.

What's wrong? About every three months, the image on my CRT monitor gets bad. The red part of the image is to the left or maybe right of the rest. If I turn off the monitor for 5 minutes, it gets no better. IF I put the computer into standby for 5 minutes, when I wake it up, the picutre is...

A friend asked me to fix his Presario F700 which had Vista on it and was locked up. I installed XP SP3 PRO on it just to see what problems might arise because everything I read on the web says the F700 was intended to be for Vista exclusively. All seems fine except the mouse cursor and the...

I have a HP Pavilion zv5000 and I always keep it plugged in because the battery doesn't hold a charge anymore. So my problem is that my computer will run for about 24 hours or so and then it shuts down. When I try to turn it back on it won't do it for hours. After I keep it unplugged for 4 hours or...

Anyone know where I can buy what I need to make my new toy - a Toshiba a75-s209 Laptop - Wireless? I have found what look to me to be USB adapters to do that, but i don't want to sacrifice a USB port. There should be one that connects in a compartment in the case bottom. Thanks Duke

P-IV running Windows XP home, takes about 12 minutes to completely boot. Display completes in a timely fashion, but the hard disk churns on and on and nothing is useable until it completes, etc. Any help greatly appreciated & thanks ...

Greetings! running OpenSUSE's 11-3 Linux firmware test on a PC makes the PC immediately rebooting. The pc had WinXP installed and began to reboot while working. I replaced the disk and tried to install Linux, with the above Problem.

As my earlier posts show, I have resurrected a Toshiba A75-S209 laptop, and it works fine except it has practically zero wireless range to my Verizon wireless router. I am looking to increase the Toshiba's range. Since I don't know where the internal Toshiba antenna is, One way would be using...

Any difference 'tween a laptop hard drive and a notebook hard drive? Duke

Are the DIMMs suggested at the manuracturers' websites the only ones that will work. Or even the best ones? (I hate to spend too much money fixing up a computer that's 7 years old) Looking at crucial.com, for my Dell, Dimension 4600, for example, it only recommends two 1-gb DIMM, pc2700, one 333...
