My Logitech G700 is sort of getting wonky and some of the buttons, especially the right click isn't working well. I went on some Logitech forums to find out how to fix this and some of the causes seem to a design/engineering defect in the mouse wherein it eventually crosses-signals in the mouse...

You actually make a very good point. A 1000 years ago, if you asked some rich guy to do something whether build a bridge or teach his kids math or fuck his wife (cuz he was busy fucking his much younger other wife) all he would have to do is point at one of his numerous servants to do it for...

I had a similar issue and was thinking of junking my Intel Core Duo E8400 3.0Ghz/8GB. Upon the recommendations of the board I got an 128SSD, reloaded Windows7 at 64 bit, and overclocked to 3.6 from stock 3.0 (could've gone as high as 4.2 but involves more than I am comfortable doing myself)...

1. Its probably already gone considering it is only $20 2. If it is still available, why don't you just buy it and use it as a back-up since it is only $20 3. You have probably spent more time posting and thinking about buying it since it is only $20 4. Why would you post an inquiry about...

Just an update: I got most of my regular browsers, media players, torrent service providers, website favorites installed and running over the past couple of days. From my research in whether deciding to upgrade to a DELL/i5, it seems that the Intel E8400 that I currently have is one of the...

Eureka, Thanks for the great advice. Ninite.com works wonderfully so far, and directly addresses what my caused the problems with my computer installation. I think many of these programs if not installed cleanly introduce a lot of changes to the registry of the computer or something. The...

Screaming out of the gate again! Finally did a clean reinstall of Win7-64. I had tried to formatting the SSD thru the cmd prompts and various other ways but after reinstalling Win7 about 3 times and still having the same performance problems, I knew that I had to do something else that may...

Thank you. Yes, when I was going to downloads.com it was a very different downloading experience than I remember from years ago. But I trusted the name so I went with it. I feel like its connected to some corrupted server (corrupt as in the Ukrainian mafia). It makes sense. The computer...

Well, I had thought it would be faster and it seemed like it was initially but now it has slowed down to seemingly less than its 32-bit speed. There is considerable lag in the browsers opening, copying files to DVD once took about 10 minutes for 4.2GB now takes at least an hour, videos also...

Hubb1e, your help was especially helpful. My WinExpScore is 6.6 out of 7.9, which seems optimized. Gonna keep tweeking it and report back after more hours of use.

SUCCESS! Finally installed Windows 7 64-bit OS on my SSD. I did go to the boot directory and made sure that CD drive was the boot drive and it was reading the Win7 installation DVD. I didn't change anything regarding BIOS but what I did do was pull out a flash drive that I had previously...

HELP! Went to MC and bought a Samsung 128GB SSD drive and have tried to install Windows 7 Home Premium 64 bit OS multiple times to no avail. I formatted and partitioned the SSD as well as made sure no other drives were connected. It goes through the load screen and just stops with the cursor...

This is the advice I am going to take. I am going to buy a SSD and give it a new install of Win7. The computer I bricked in the past is something I was VERY CAREFUL in assembling. My apprehensiveness lies in not knowing what I did that killed it (if anything). I was told it was static...

I do remember that both 32/64 bit OS versions are bought together so if I reinstall should I just choose 64 bit on the installation prompt? What if install 64 bit Win 7 on a NEW SSD and then set overclock parameters? Will I have then created an "instant upgrade" foregoing a new build or adding...

OK. How do I change that 32 bit OS to utilize more RAM?
