thanks razel, so I'll have my system partition, Windows will create a small partition, and I can leave another partition as spare area for the drive?

Hey all, I've been doing a lot of research to try and answer my question, but I still need a little help. I just bought an HP laptop with a 160GB X25-M G2 already installed, and I would like to do a repartition and clean install of Win7. Main reason is because HP reserves a partition...

Hey I was wondering if anyone knows how battery life generally fares between core i3 and i5 laptops? I did a bit of searching and most reviews don't compare between the two, but maybe if you know something about the power consumption of each, you can provide some insight. Specifically, I'm...

yeah, i guess i can try that, but the manual and color coding say otherwise.

I've been out of computer-building for a long time, so this might be a really dumb question. I just ordered a duplicate RAM for a small desktop system to double the RAM for dual channel. Old one was in DIMM1 and I put the new one in DIMM2. However, POST and CPUZ both show that it's still...

I think this is a hardware issue, but when i hook up an external monitor to my laptop, it displays the desktop fine. When i move the mouse into the display area, it goes black. After about 5-6 seconds, the mouse shows up on the screen, but there is horizontal banding where the mouse is. The...

hey this is totally random, but i was thinking since cell phones all run java, that it'd be awesome to put Slime Volleyball on my cell phone. However, i don't know a thing about programming... If anyone is feeling adventurous and knows how to do this, that'd be awesome! I have a Nokia 6126...

i ended up buying the Canon 8800F, which uses LEDs or something and thus has no warmup time, 2 sec preview, and 7 sec scan. It also does slides and negatives. I'll see how it works in a few days tho.

I'm thinking of getting a scanner for my parents so they can digitize our old photo albums. However, since me and my bros will be gone for school after the break, it has to be something they can use as well. I'm looking for something that scans quickly and is really easy to use. Good image...

I have an old toshiba laptop (sucks) that i leave in the common room to handle skype calls and play music, so it's left on all the time. It can get really loud though, and i'm a little worried about how much power it uses. So i wonder if an undervolt or underclock will help at all? I looked...

It's been a while since i've built a computer. My system looks like this: Sapphire PE-AM2RS690MH -- AMD 690 chipset Athlon 64 X2 3800+ (65W) DVD-RW drive (SATA) 80Gb HDD (3.0Gb/s SATA) 1 DIMM 1GB DDR2 800 PC6400 RAM and that's all. I'm using this PSU: FSP300-60THN ATX12V 2.01 300W...

mm i just played with the Samsung T9 at a store, and i completely love the interface and screen. However, it only comes in 2GB and 4GB is a bit sluggish. but i think its so slick and intuitive my granma could use it! (she wants an mp3 player too =p)

yo, i dont think anything like that exists... There is an older player tho, the Cowon X5L that's a little bulky and a bit ugly, but has 60GB, FLAC support, high-quality recording, and 30hr battery. I think it also has an open-source firmware available that supports gapless. also, i'm...

mm yea.. the zune seems good for me. I like the look and it was nice to play with at the store. Plus i have a lot of WMA's that i dont really want to convert. But any ideas when new models of all these things come out?? =o btw: i've heard that to prolong your battery's efficiency (so it...
