    Decrease RAM usage

    Yes the reported RAM is lower because of 32bit OS/chipset no worry. What OS? Is it this file or all Excel ones? 708KB is not even going to have an effect on a system with half your RAM. Something is going on. The trick is figuring it out.

    2600k vs. i7-950 OC

    This is what I judge by. Not perfect but all I have, link. 30% makes them about equal. And you would have that tri-channel RAM.

    Decrease RAM usage

    No that was an example/hypothetical expressing a point. You should disregard that comment with your current situation.;) OK this is your real issue. I do not see it having anything to do with RAM. This is most clear as your usage is very far from any critical point. Did you disable pagefile? If...

    Decrease RAM usage

    Why do you want to? Are you having performance issues? In theory you would almost want 100% usage. Unused RAM is wasted RAM. The reason you want some slop is for the unexpected demands and freely available. I could make an application that would keep your RAM usage under 10%. Sure lots of...

    Info needed.

    If you can't adjust those we still have one other option. Not as good and won't get as good of results but can work nice. They call a software OC. Let's hope you can do BIOS OC but if not we can explore the other.

    Blank Screen

    Remove MoBo place in 375F oven for 6-10 minutes. It is desperate but if you decide nothing to lose not going to hurt anything.

    security suite combo

    Sure. A hardware firewall is better but not needed by all. These questions are similar to do I need this CPU? Do I need 4GB or 8GB RAM. The question we have to answer is what do you do? I can run without an AV if I want and doubt I will get infected. I do run for extra security and don't...

    Sata Driver for XP pro

    Just Google running SATA on XP . The problem installing XP on a W7 notebook is not a BIOS issue it is the lack of native SATA support on XP itself.

    Alienware Question

    AlienWare have always been overpriced. Since DeLL took over the cost is more competitive but as said above quality is less than stellar. But DeLL has the best notebook exchange with all their practice they almost have it down to a science. If they were half as good at building notebooks as...

    Sandy Bridge design flaw

    OK guys this story is happening before our eyes. I am a notebook guy and I know some things are particular to them and not desktops. Clevo/Sager has halted shipment and production of Huron River (6x chipsets)notebooks. Middle of Feb 2011, Intel will start supplying qualification samples...

    Blank Screen

    Tried the monitor on other device? Try different monitor? It has x200 graphics does it also have discrete GPU? I tend to suspect MoBo issue, on this system if IGP that failure would also be MoBo. But there is no way I can accurately make this diagnosis at this time with the information I...

    W7-32bit on 64bit system.

    I have concern that even though sealed I think an OEM version. And since a business I suspect the license key was already activated. Retail includes both 32bit and 64bit versions. So you could run into activation issues. If you do not it would still be illegal I believe as an OEM not retail...

    Gaming upgrade: Ram or SSD

    I think PSU upgrade and 570 is a great idea only wanted to point out. But After researching I think PSU is needed as 500w just not enough for good GPU upgrade. Also if your going to do it I think even going above 600w not a bad idea for the future. Depending on cost I would even consider...

    Gaming upgrade: Ram or SSD

    And Tim there are other GPU's that might not require the PSU upgrade if you want to step down from the 570.

    Gaming upgrade: Ram or SSD

    I am a notebook guy so I can't give as good of advice as others. Go online at NewwEgg and look around. You will see companies you know and trust. But others can tell you specific model info to get you the best.

    security suite combo

    MSE is anti-spyware and email scanner. So not sure what you want and why? Also running different anti-virus/spyware/.............. at the same time can create performance problems.
