    PC Self-Down last night...

    Quite a dilema I'm in right now. Was up late last night doing some work, all was fine. I wake up and my computer is down. I leave my PCs up 95% of the time. The build I'm referring to, in my sig, has only been down three times in about the past 4 months. Once for RAM switch, once for...

    MS Office 2007

    I recently built a new computer, slapped on XPSP3 and ran some updates. I wanted to do some benchmarking of the new build and located a copy of SysMark. When I was all done with it, the uninstaller hung on a few of the apps. Some of which were from the Office Suite it came with. This is...

    Actual HDD Name: WDC WD5001AALS-00L3B2 500GB STA Drive (465BG actual) I ran PCMark05 and I was floored by the results. I have noticed though that XP Bootup and shutdown times have been surprisingly high. Not anywhere I had expected. Access times seem high and raw throughput low...

    Compressing Windows XP "old files"

    It started with the pondering of MSOCache. Office placed this resilient folder on the partition I've dubbed "Games." I knew that it was for Office, but for what other potential uses I was unsure. I did some research and my final destination was unavoidably MICROSOFT! On the help page for MSO...
