Can someone set me straight re organizing my software setup. Present Setup: 840 120GB ssd with windows 7 64 bit plus, all the accessories that went onto it. (NB. computer shop did the install due to I have horrendous internet speed) 2TB hdd partitioned into 3 drives 1.storage of photos 2. gaming pro...
wishing to have my OS (win 7 prem 64) only on a Samsung 120GB and all the programs CAD , sims etc on a WD 1TB HDD. So what I was wondering was Is it feasible to use a second small capacity SSD (forget about cost) for all the rewriting stuff the OS does? pagefile etc instead of using part of the HDD ...
I couldn't resist that comment. Anyway I have taken the plunge and a new 500GB is on its way. Doesn't solve the actual problem but does triple my storage
Yeah its old now but it wasn't when it was new. 160 Gb is sounding more like a flash drive :lol: Will check out the cost of a new one since you pointed That out. then when it dies (hopefully the drive survies) will transfer it to the PC I am suppose to be here for. Will try the suggestions too, Appr...
thanks for the suggestions, I will try in a few days when I get everything backed up just in case. I feel as though I'm treading on very thin ice. The pc is actually my notebook I am using right now ,.... Just run Speccy and HDD report is below if anyone can see a problem. Hard Drives ST9160821AS AT...
Americas Cup now its become a scary as hell race (I'm referring to 6 tonnes racing at 75km/h on one metre of carbon fibre) Superbike racing is not so scary to watch compared. 1 dead already and the race hasn't even started yet
At home I've just done a fresh install of Vista, updated windows and then started a HDD tools to check for bad sectors. It started and got to 8% and froze :roll: then on reboot it started again and froze at 7% and then the 3rd time at 6% :o . by this time I realized vista was ganging up on me, so I ...
I have an Asus p8z77 V pro (i5 3570 - OS7 64) and wish to know what is the best RAM to choose. need 16GB. Question 1: is 2x8 or is 4x4 better as I wont be getting any more ram later.? I believe faster Hz is also best but is it as stable or does that not matter? Question 2 : is there a frequency that...
OK Got it. thanks for all the advice that was relevant. note to ones self. buy a tin foil hat, dont talk to strangers on the net that haven't been out doors since birth. put a condom on the hard drive to prevent Viruses . BTW i got a Asus V Pro just wondering....what does the "V" stand for...
Don't need anti virus on a computer that's not infected and you don't need patches if your tires aren't flat in the first case. If I ever need a patch, it can go via a usb drive, quarantine it for x amount of time and the scan it with the latest program. but I have never needed it as XP pro was clea...
:o Dont worry I am upgrading the OS. tawt I wrote I was going to use "OS7 64" somewhere up there at the top. aka Operating System Windows 7 64 Bit. (incl. service packs) btw my windows XP OS never had anti virus software on it nor an update, never had a virus in its 5 years of life because...
Nope! No internet then theres no need to run any background antivirus software, email, windows net services and auto update crap that does never lets you know its just woken up and going to slam the hand brakes on. Stripped that off my XP machine and boot up was 19 secs and shutdown 10 secs.. loved ...
Is there anything the company and reviews arnt telling me that I should know (b4 I buy 1 of them this weekend) ASUS Z77 SABER TOOTH, P8Z77 V le PLUS and V PRO. reading the reviews there's always someone throws a spanner in the works by pointing out 1 thing that no one has yet mentioned and then I ba...
Can hot swapping 3.5" / 2.5" drives happen to any OS , Mobo or case? I'm still deciding my hardware and like the idea of it but do you need any special Mobo (Asus I have in mind) that are set up for it like some cases are, ie one with eSATA or a cable having to connect from the back plate....
Thanks for the advice so far, it seems that what ever the choice (so long as it has the plugs I need) I'll be happy, My ol Gigabyte with Athlon 64 2800+ gave up the ghost after I fudged the BIOS last month, but it did run X-Plane 10 at a push. So anything I get should whip it ass. I may have another...
Can Windows be installed without WMP getting thrown in too? If it can't , what would be the procedure to cut it out without too much blood or worst case scenario, disable it? (FYI I use Divx for my vids and winamp for music.) thanks for any help.
I had set on ASRock Z77 extreme4 for my build. but I dont like it's shorter than a true ATX board and the bad rumors (ok thats to be expected on any forum) is the ASUS a better built board? and I am curious to know what the Asus equivalent would be. probably wont be using X fire on this build, just ...
