    installed SSD on dual boot system, AHCI very slow on Vista but good on Win 7

    When I say slow, I mean it takes forever to boot and the system acts very slow and seems to to hang often but there will be brief moments when it seems to work OK. Task manager shows RAM and CPU usage to not be an issue at all. That's Vista 32-bit, Win 7 64-bit has no troubles. Both installs...

    Can the free Win 8 Media Center Key be reused?

    From the email: "In addition, each product key can only be used with one computer." So I'm wondering if it really means that it's tied to one computer or if it's tied to 1 Windows 8 OS product key. What I'd like to do is set up and activate Win 8 on a temporary hard drive now (since the free...

    What recent software did you buy and are annoyed about no planned Win 8 support?

    For me it's: Nero 11 Platinum (released Dec 2011) Acronis True Image Home 2011 (released Sep 2010) I bought both for a substantial rebate that lightens the blow (also I use Win 8 as a secondary OS in a dual boot), but makes me leery of purchasing their other products in the future if...

    Windows 8 multiboot sucks

    I had Vista installed and just installed Win 8 as a dual boot. This is how booting works now: Windows 8 boots maybe 1/2 to 2/3 of the way through (at least 15 seconds for me), then gives you the option of booting Vista or 8. If you choose Vista, it restarts the whole damn system and then boots...

    If Ron Paul isn't Electable, Just Who the Hell is?
