Just curious, why do you have to boot into her OS to get her data? Can you not just copy and paste it after connecting the drive? You could even do it using a Linux liveCD/pendrivelinux if her files are password protected in Windows or something. Part of the reason I mention this is that if...

I agree. I switched from an e4500 to an x2 550 BE unlocked to 950 and my BFBC2 still plays about the same, because I'm still using the same video card. Most games nowadays are GPU limited, not CPU limited. As long as you have a decent processor in the first place, you shouldn't worry too much...

Funny how tablet PC's have been around forever, but now that Apple has done their own, it's getting popular. The restaurant owner could have done this long ago with any old tablet he wanted to, but probably he just never thought about it until the iPad. Also, smh@ having to keep the menus charged.

+1 Dual hexa-cores? Do most games out even utilize all 6 cores in a single hexa-core proc? I don't think so, and even still, most games are GPU bound rather than CPU bound. A comp like that is more for bragging rights (showing off your wallet and e-penis, etc) than anything. At the end of...

You still need optical media for distribution and sharing stuff. I don't want to buy and give out USB drives for everything lol.

Thanks all for the comments and suggestions! EDIT: Just bought a 64GB Kingston SSD for $100 off Craigslist. Good deal? http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16820139108&cm_re=ssd_kingston-_-20-139-108-_-Product

Sorry, the specs in my sig aren't updated. I recently built a new system with the following: AMD X2 550 (unlocked to a 950) Gigabyte GA-MA790XT-UD4P 6GB DDR3 ATI HD4850 and a few other miscellaneous things. I'll probably end up going with just 1 SSD anyways, I doubt that I would end...

I've been trying to determine whether there's a tangible difference between running a single SSD and running 2 SSD's in RAID 0. Everything I see is based off benchmarks, but would I notice a major (like a worth another $200 kind) difference between running a single SSD and running a pair of...

I recently bought an X2 550 from someone on Craigslist and it unlocks to a quad core pretty easily. Previously, I was using another X2 550 that did not unlock and was running it with the stock cooler. Never had a problem with temps since it was a dual core, however, I know the stock cooler won't...

You could given the same message without writing an essay if you just used some simple grammar and punctuation in your original post. It takes me more effort to write a message like that than it does to use proper English, grammar, and punctuation. I don't understand how people type out messages...

Nice build, but shouldn't you move your second DIMM over one slot so your RAM runs in dual channel mode?

I guess it's just a dead 955. It seems my chip does not like having ACC enabled at all. I tried a clean install of Windows with 2,3, and all 4 cores and the result is the same. AOD seems to work fine but any other program is unstable (strange). I think it has less to do with the cores being good...

Yea both Core 0 and Core 1 are stable when run as an X2, but if even 1 of the other cores are enabled, Core 0 becomes unstable. Update: It looks like the CPU doesn't like running with the Hybird EC firmware/ACC enabled. If I run with Cores 2 and 3 unlocked but manually disabled in the bios...

I recently upgraded to the following setup: AMD Phenom X2 555 BE 1004 EPMW stepping Gigabye GA-MA785GMT-UD2H 6 GB DDR3 OCZ3X1333LV6GK (Optimized for Intel, but works fine so far) Those are the new parts, I'm reusing an XFX 4850 and a Corsair 520HX PSU. I am able to unlock all 4 cores...

Well actually it turns out my chip unlocks 3 cores, but not all 4. My Core 2 is the bad one. I disabled it and now I'm in Windows so far with 3 cores. Haven't done any long term stability checks but I'm fairly sure it's just the Core 2 (intelpun) that doesn't work. I'm at stock voltages and seem...
