fingerprint readers are common in todays business-class laptops, hp probooks, lenovo thinkpads, etc. but no face unlocks...

imported_Cota, what sort of games do you mean? For example, Quake 3 Arena and Unreal Tournament will run just fine in Windows 7. Can't say they look less 3D than in windows XP. And 7 Home will be just fine.

Just another bunch of updates, love them or hate them...

ALL user temp files can be cleaned with ATF Cleaner. But it doesn't clean the IE files though...

A simple Intel Core i3 computer will do it. i3 will do fine with HD video playback and for DVD ripping you just need a DVD device, doesn't matter much how fast is your computer. Well, if you're later on decoding the DVD format to a DIVX or something like that, you're gonna need a better...

the processor is definitely a bottleneck, or right on the "edge". I've seen 1.2GHz dualcore run very slow with 7. It can depend on the harddrive as well, if it's 5400 or even 4200 rpm, then i would not recommend Win 7.

Safer bet would be to install new Windows. A clean Win install works faster-better anyway, than an old one.

Why bother with 3rd party programs. If you have Windows 7 you can use Disk Management to Shrink or Extend the partitions.

You can use "Super Finder" to search for all files on your computer and then sort them by date, you'll find the recently written files/folders then.

You could go with Foxit PDF Reader too. But beware with the installation, it asks you if you want a toolbar with it :)

For that to work, you need Microsoft Office with Outlook.

See Task Manager, how many processes you see after restart and how much memory is used? Everything else looks to be alright, your computer specs look very good, except the harddrive. Get SSD as soon as possible :)

Can't see much sense in that, Firefox tends to use more memory than Chrome anyway. Reinstalling Chrome won't do any good, it has clever automated updating built in it, so it is most likely the latest, and the 11 instances of it are i bet, intentional...

Corsair & Intel SSD's have the 3.5" -> 2.5" rack kit included in the box.

1. use ATF Cleaner to clean all the temp folders. 2. use Hijackthis to see and clear unnecessary startup programs and services. What kind of processor, ram & harddisk you have?
