Come tax return time I am looking at upgrading my graphics. 2013 was processor and mobo. Coming up is graphics. I am running an AMD Radeon 5670 crossfire. Both are fully stock 5670's with 1GB GDDR5 at 1000mhz and clock at 775mhz. I want to play the Fallout 3 and New Vegas games at full...

I have solved this issue with a program from Paragon specifically suited to move operating systems from existing HDD installations to SSD's. Thanks for looking.

I bought a smallish but low priced 64GB SSD on SATA II. I have already changed over to AHCI successfully and initiated the TRIM command. I have a 640GB HDD. I have brought used space to below 59 GB(actual capacity of SSD). However when using Driveclone I cannot copy because it does not have...

I understand this. My clarified question is this: Can I use my paid for media to clean install Windows 7 64 using the OEM key provided on a new laptop. I am referring to a laptop that may come with 32 bit 7.

I kind of forgot to mention that I have Ultimate already installed on my desktop. What I have read is that the media is universal, that the product key is the differentiator for version.

Laptop needs XP My Emachines MX4625 has had a few upgrades throughout its current 3 years of life. from 512MB DDR to 1.5GB....from 40GB 4200RPM HDD to 100GB 5400RPM HDD....from AMD Sempron 3100+ 1.8GHZ to AMD Turion ML-37 2GHz. The laptop still uses XP because that is what came installed. I...

I am planning on buying a new laptop soon. My big limitation is price. I might have to go for the low range and noticed lots of low range laptops with only 32 bit Windows 7 Home Premium. I own a copy of the full edition retail Windows 7 Ultimate with both 32 and 64 bit disks. Being that the...

Or the easy method...fake your way to the finalist phase of the Windows 7 launch party...use the cards and napkins they give you, play some cards with the family, take some photos of this, upload them and all to remain legit. And best of all. The cost of Windows 7 Ultimate Full retail is 0.00...

I cannot seem to figure this one out. I initially installed Windows 7 RC on my newer SATA Hard drive with my older but working Windows XP drive still active. I finished installation and went into Windows 7. All was good, so I was going to save a little power and heat and disconnect the...

Well, I have had the issue of a not responding USB mouse when waking from sleep or hibernation. I simply unplugged the USB mouse, waited 5 seconds and plugged it back in and it works well. Same with my USB keyboard. If you are having the same issue with a PS/2 keyboard, it might not be Windows 7.

Do not forget OEM For those who do not need a warrranty or Microsoft tech support can get the OEM versions. I found a full OEM for 109.99 for pre order on Newegg...It is of course for only one computer but it's all I need. I have one desktop and one laptop. Desktop is new and will get the...

I must agree. You jogged my memory on this one. I indeed had the same exact problem with the same solution. I tried everything on my new MOBO up to re-pasting all the heatsink bottoms and CPU HSF. Well, I made a mistake and accidently fried my NB chip. Luckily, it was still under warranty...

I had problems with the standby issue. I have an older ATI Radeon 3650 PCIe but we both use the same Catalyst drivers. I had problems with the Windows 7 Catalyst driver version 9.5...try to get updated to 9.7 BUT do a full uninstall of the 9.5 to rid of any poo left behind. In ref to the...

The Vista drivers are near 99% compatible with Windows 7. Windows 7 uses the same driver foundation as Vista. Just make sure to use the correct driver for your platform(32 bit or 64 bit). Also, if only a single driver is available(a driver that does not specify 32 or 64 bit) it should be ok...

I had that problem recently. Turns out that my ATI Catalyst 9.5 drivers was the thing to blame. I updated to 9.6 and subsequently 9.7 and have not experienced that problem since.
