    Running like a slug with Windows 7

    Hypothetically speaking, if wanted to increase the speed of my internal hard drive, would I want to upgrade the cache or the RPM? Right now I have plenty of storage space on a 7200RPM/32MB cache at 3.0GB/s but if I wanted a faster HDD, should I look into changing the RPM or the cache? Or would I...

    Running like a slug with Windows 7

    I ran CCleaner and Malwarebytes and I think that helped a bit because I haven't crashed out on anything since. I'm hoping things continue to run OK, but I'm definitely still worried that I may not be able to run higher quality software if I'm crashing out on the programs that came with my...

    Running like a slug with Windows 7

    Maybe "slug" isn't the right term. I guess it runs more like an escalator that acts like it's carrying a 5 ton elephant but in reality it's only carrying a 75 pound old lady.

For example i3, i5, i7, etc. etc. I'm sure the obvious answer would be to go with the i7 but I wasn't sure of there's a processor...

    A computer for video editing

    What kind of computer hardware and features are important for video editing? The reason I ask is because my computer that I use now is already being pushed to its' limit with just web browsing and media viewing and I'm considering either upgrading my machine or perhaps buying an entire new...

    Running like a slug with Windows 7

    I remember when I was able to run multiple programs quite easily back when I was running windows XP with 512mb of RAM.... Now, my graphics card alone is 1 GB and my total RAM is 6 GB. I have an enormous hard disk drive with about 800 GB of unused space, and I'm running 64-bit Windows 7. I tend...
