    Mouse freezing

    Drivers? Let Windows manage swap file ( I do not think this will do anything but about as good as you setting size in the first place).

    Changed bios... now memory capacity different

    Who knows or cares? Windows basic and 2GB of RAM? You are starting to add RAM to the point that you create a bottle neck. At some point throwing more RAM fails to improve or give benefit? You have gone beyond. Buy a new system if you want benefit? "is it a glitch" Yes in so many ways. Good...

    windows xp problem

    Google XP install on SATA HDD. Lot's of reading. Same as John said but you might find instructions. I doubt HP has the BIOS options you need. Going to be the long road.

    Quick Question on RAM Mhz's

    I don't think you are reading anything wrong. I do think the info as presented might cause you to conclude not anything different than your 1st 4 sentences. But on the 5th (last) you get it! It does not matter, DDR3 is DDR3, It will downclock if "not supported" but it works just fine at the...

    Is Avira Free version alone really safe for surfing?

    Free of all brands are as good. What they do is first get your money. But what the free guys do is maybe offer convenience with pay not so much with free. I could tell you so much more. Free is the best.

    it guy for 2 locations or government job

    You really felt like this was a must post? Not to be rude they call them "balls". You clearly lack. How the heck could I or anyone tell you what is best for you? I mean I can't! I know the answer for me (gov) but I am not you.

    Recall on all Sandy Bridge Motherboards

    They are not doing a full recall anymore. They are going to allow partners to ship units if not affected. Kinda means one HDD units. Both would be SATA 3.0 or as Strangle likes to say SATA 6.0?

    Laptop Restrictions

    Rule #1 of fight club is don't post twice! Your Administrator is both a dick and idiot. What can I say with all those idiotic restrictions? We can't help you crack it here. We could but the rules say no. Google is your friend and your Admin is a douche.

    6 Core

    Let Windows manage core usage. If you are a victim of "CPU parity" posts I can help you fix it. Also while I think your system specs should be in your sig? I am hard pressed to understand why not included in your post? No joke! Edit: Same old ground! How I wish I was Here?

    RAM slowing down computer

    You make me feel good! I give no guarantee just the best I could do. I did find the PSU is weak off Google not saying the erratic behavior but I put 2 and two together. Just so you know I have zero professional computer training. I am a high School drop out. So it does feel good to of maybe...

    Windows 7 upgrade vs full

    That is what I would do. Yes full version OEM is $99 at NewEgg I believe. The only advantage I really see retail over OEM is system migration. I don't care about the rest.

    Windows 7 Starter Upgrade?

    So much. Starter is only 32bit, does not have Aero and it keeps going. Not that it can't be done and some might do but full W7? Starter is a stripped down version that should run better on stripped down systems. Aero is great unless it doesn't work or grinds your system to a halt. I think you...

    question.

    Sorry for the question mark. I don't know if it physically fits, I did not read the question as closely as I should of. Disregard my off topic post.:o:)

    Windows 7 upgrade vs full

    I should be very careful here as I might know less than I think based on others posts. But based on what I think I know. If there is no OS what is the disk going to upgrade? So you need a full installation disk. What are your options? OK Retail gives you both 32bit and 64bit and not tied to...

    RAM slowing down computer

    I assumed the entire time a new PSU was going to be needed. My suggestions were only for diagnostic purposes. I would feel much more comfortable if someone else with a high level of knowledge would jump in and agree or disagree. Also maybe have a suggestion how to drop the load for diagnostic...

    RAM slowing down computer

    I am so far beyond my expertise at this point. I am just glad we might have an answer to original issue. I am sure others will have no problem helping with the HDD thing. I've never had a desktop and never built a system so I have major holes in my knowledge. Good luck. I will keep thinking...

    How to record cabe TV?

    As a rule I do not click on 1st time poster links. Would you like to explain? I am certain you look like a bot.

    Whats the difference between AMD and INTEL motherboards?

    No answer on that. And with the Intel Cougar Point recall AMD has an advantage. Your question is so open ended I look forward to other's posts.
