I've used Vista from day 1. Now I'm running Vista SP1 side by side with W7.
For some reason everyone flames Vista but loves W7. I just don't get it. The differences between these two OS's are very, very small.
So far no-one has been able to clearly articulate why W7 is superipor to...

I agree that the MX-1 is a good choice for totally enclosed with good cooling.
However I really like the docking station concept like the Thermaltake unit.
I installed mine last night. The Vista installation process seemed a little slower then a HD install but once it was done all I can say is WOW!! Once the computer get's past POST, Vista is up within seconds!! Apps load almost instantly.
A lot of other upgrades can only be seen from running...
To save tons of time since I already have a recent Vista install with all my apps. Someone did confirm that Acronis TI will work with SSDs.
Is there any special reason that X25-M benefits from a fresh install vs. a clone restore. I haven't had much experience with SSD's.
OK, I decided to order an Intel X25-M 80G SSD. What's the best way to optimize a desktop system to use this SSD along with a HD?
I'm thinking the X25 should be C: and contain the OS and apps. (all of which should fit well within 80G). Then I plan to put all the "my *" data files in D: which...
Most of the time you can delete chipset, video and other hardware specific drivers and then reboot and hope everything gets detected and installed. However I only do this method when I'm making fairly small changes.
Since you're going from old AMD technology to new Intel technology I'd bite...
Does anyone else have this issue with a Biostar Tpower I45. I enabled the settings in the Bios to power on the MB from either a keystroke or mouse click.
However neither of these features powers up the MB. I've tried a range of KB's, Mice and PSUs.
Has anyone been able to get this...
The Scythe Infinity is an excellent cooler. I wouldn't be concerned over the weight as long as you're not transporting the PC too much.
The Xigmatek is also getting rave reviews. (ie same performance as TRUE but cheaper, better quality and it includes a fan. TRUE has had quality control...
You should lap both the HSF AND CPU to ensure both surfaces are flat. Don't go beyond about 800 grit because after a point smoother is NOT better.
You want metal to metal contact on the microscopic ridges left by the lapping process with compound filling the voids. If the surfaces are too...
