My friend lent me his touch screen computer that his office threw out. I want to speed it up to make it useable if that is possible. I don't know much about hardware but I do know some things about the system that I was able to learn from "DXDiag" (I'll post the pictures if i can) Processor...

Sorry I was out of town for a while there... I have a Gigabyte GA-p67a-UD3-B3. And you appear to be right; Readyboost seems to end when I reboot. I'll do a little bit of research on it before giving up :twisted:

Just wanted to say thankyou to everyone! Anandtech rocks! I used this post to buy a new computer last week and I LOVE IT!!! I bought everything at Canada Computers in Newmarket Ontario for about $1400. This is my new rig :) Core i5 2500k @ 3.30GHz ($230) / Gigabyte GA-P67A-UD3-B3 ($130) /...

My brother is a real estate agent with lots of cash. He doesn't game but wants a new laptop (will be the house's only puter). The most demanding thing he will do is play 1080p video out through HDMI to a 37" tv. Here is the email I am sending him. Any thoughts would be really appreciated since I...
