NVidia Versus AMD/ATI

Oct 1, 2012

I have been debating between which one I want to go with for my next card. Apparently, AMD isn't going to be updating the driver for the 4800 series to Windows 8 (which really ticks me off...). That is why I'm considering nVidia for the first time. Few things I want to do with a new card:

- Gaming at 1920x1080 graphics maxed, or close to at frame rates of at least 60.

- Some bitcoin mining (nothing serious, just curious about it), and possibly some other GPGPU related stuff.

Also, the card needs to work well in both Windows and Linux x64 as I use both. The only nVidia Ive ever worked with was an old Quadro FX 1400, which I put into a Dell Optiplex GX280, and it runs great under Linux and Windows.

XP Mode Versus Dos-box

Apr 25, 2012

From an end-user perspective, what's the functional difference between XP Mode and something like DOSBox?I get the impression that it's not a matter of one being better than the other or a matter of preference, but rather a matter of being different tools for different jobs.

HP Versus Refillable Ink Cartridges?

Apr 27, 2012

I am so frustrated. I have been routinely using refilled ink cartridges in my HP All-in-One Officejet J6450 printer. The last time I replaced both of the ink cartridges I had to deal with getting around HPs by now usual messages and other interferences designed to disrupt my printing experience including having to uninstall and reinstall the printer, and then re-registering it with HP online. (Perhaps I invited these problems by registering in the first place?! Note to self!) But, with this last cartridge change HP has gone too far! I am no longer able to print any document I send to the printer-period! Every time I try to send a doc to the printer the HP Solution Center sends me a message that there is a printer error-yeah, an error that comes from HPs evil end! I know the printer is functioning properly on its own as I can print test pages and make copies just fine.I would love to know what I can do to "unsabotage" my printer. I should have every right to use whichever ink cartridge I choose that does not infringe on HPs patented ink formulas.This feels like a personal attack when my family's and my own work is so arbitrarily disrupted!

MacBook Pro Versus HP Envy?

Aug 29, 2010

I already have the envy, you can see my specs. I want to know if it would be worth switching to a MacBook Pro. If I did, I would want windows 7 on it for sure. Is it worth it? I love windows 7, but I also love the compatibility that Apple makes with all its stuff. Apple makes decent hardware, HP seems like their machines are cheap and not well built.

Sync Toy Versus SkyDrive

Jan 15, 2013

sync files between my desktop and notebook, and using other devices. I have been using SyncToy for quite a while, with fairly good results. Sometimes though I seem to get edits (deletions and overwrites) that I really do not want. Is there a better solution for syncing large amounts of files? I am starting to try out using SkyDrive, but I�m not totally comfortable with putting sensitive documents online, also I often use my notebook without any internet access and I would like to be able to have a local copy available. Optimally I would like to be able to have a master drive that both desktop and notebook sync their local versions to.

Difference In The Files For 32-bit Versus 64-bit Apps And OS?

Jul 22, 2011

I have read about the differences in 32-bit vs 64-bit apps and OS.But is there any differences in the files that a 64-bit and and 32-bit app runs? Is there such thing as a 32-bit file and a 64-bit file?For example can I create a wmv file in a 64-bit app and OS and then run this file in a 32-bit Window Media Player?Does the ability to take advantage of more than 4GB of RAM only sits with the app and OS or does it also depend on the file that the app runs?

Virtual Memory Versus Installed RAM?

Aug 30, 2011

What is the difference between virtual memory vs installed Ram? I have win7 pro , Gateway 5800 @ 3.20 GHZ , dual-core x64 system with GB ram installed. My sys specs says that I have 9GB of virtual memory available.My system seemed slow , so I checked the Memory alloted for my paging file and it said 512k! It recommended MB? So I set the Minimum at MB and the max at MB. It did not seem to make a major difference though. Should I reset it to below the 6GB total Ram or is that a separate issue? I use the computer mostly for video & web commenting but will be doing more offline gaming soon.

MS Windows 7 Backup Versus MS Synctoy

Jan 13, 2011

What is the difference between MS Windows 7 Backup and MS Synctoy? I am using Windows 7 Backup and only back up the four Libraries and some additional locations off of the C: drive totalling about 45 GB and Windows7 Backup now requires 151 GB of disk space on my external hard drive which only has 70 GB remaining on a 250 GB hard drive.. I think W7 Backup up creates zip files, but it seems like it uses a lot of space otherwise.I am deciding whether to buy a larger (1 TB) external hard drive and continue backup or to start copying the libraries one at a time.

Basic Versus Dynamic Volume

Jun 29, 2011

1) What is the major difference between Dynamic and Basic Volume It seems Dynamic volume can let you change the size of the volume up or down when there is an adjacent unused physical space, without impairing the files already stored. However Partitions (Basic Volume) can only be extended, and will always requires reformating.

2) It seems that Dynamic Volume has a lot more overheads, so it may be a little slower and actual file stored will be less, any opinion on that?

I did notice one of the Dyname Volume started to show massic missing storage space, e.g. Used Space of 30GB only has 7GB realy files on it, absolutely no hidden files there because I created the volume. This happens after shrinking and expanding it up and down a couple of time, BUG?!! If so it is a serious one.

Are There Any Perks To Having A Net Book Versus A Laptop Which Is More Expensive

Aug 1, 2012

I am planning on buying a 200 dollar Windows 7 Netbook that has a 465 GB hard drive? Is this a good price? And some people say that net books run slower than laptops or that they aren't good for gaming? I'm not a big gamer, and I'll really only be using it for software, programming with different compilers, managing files, and browsing the internet. Are there any perks to having a net book versus a laptop which is more expensive?

Aug 19, 2012

tell me if Windows Disk Defragmenter is a good defragmenting program?I mean for example if Defraggler, Auslogics Disk Defrag or DiskRescue 2009 are better than Windows Disk Defragmenter?Some of the 3 other programs have different features such as moving the most accessed files to the fastest part of the disk, or even defragmenting the free space remained on the disk.Windows Disk Defragmenter does the same things as the other programs?I want you to be honest and make a correct recommendation, without being influenced by the idea that Windows Disk Defragmenter is a Windows product and here we are on a Windows forum.

My Computer - HDD Fill Lines (Turquoise Versus Red)?

May 25, 2012

In My Computer, (arrived at via keystroke: Windows Key-E,) what is the significance of the different colored lines indicating how full the hard disk drives are? The colors I see are tourquoise and red. Based on a sample too small to be conclusive, I suspect red means the hard drive is full beyond a certain point. If that's the case, at what point does the line become red, is that point adjustable, and are there any other customizable aspects of this function?

Radeon 8960 Versus Quadro FX 1400?

Oct 30, 2011

ancient cards but they will do for the machine I want to put them in. I just want to know which one would be better? Both cards have 128 MB of DDR VRAM, and PCI-Express. The Radeon card has no fan, just a heatsink, while the Quadro has a fan. Currently this system is running Windows XP, but I might put Windows 7 x86 on it.The PC is a Dell Optiplex GX280:

3 GB of DDR2 RAM
3.2 GHz Intel Pentium 4 HT
80 GB SATA HDD

The main thing this system is being used for is Adobe CS4.

Reinstalling Windows 7 - Delete Versus Format

Jun 5, 2012

I got my new computer about 3 weeks ago, but because the video card I picked was out of stock (GTX 680) they installed a standard video card (GT 520) instead. I'll be getting my GTX 680 tomorrow, and I'm thinking about doing a clean installation with Windows 7. I've already installed Windows 7 once when I received my computer, and made a few registry changes 'cause I have an SSD. I'm not quite sure if I should delete or format my SSD and HDD when doing a clean installation. Also, I own an Intel SSD and I read online that it's better to use the Intel Solid-State Drive Toolbox when resetting the drive to its original rather than deleting/formatting.

Replacing HDD With SDD - Image Versus Clean Install

Oct 22, 2012

I am replacing an HDD with an SDD in my laptop.I have it partitioned the same way as the HDD except that D: is smaller.

system reserved, C:=system, D:=data-profiles-programs, E: =HP_TOOLS (fat32)

My plan was to image the system reserved, C: and E: partitions.The HDD is running in ACHI mode.What I want to know - When installing Windows 7, does it do something different on a SSD than a HDD such that imaging the HDD to the SDD will make a performance difference?

CA Internet Security Suite Plus Versus Xbox 360

Jul 6, 2011

Having replaced Zonealarm and MSE with CA's Internet Security Suite Plus V7 on my Windows 7/64 box, my XBoxes can no longer connect to the Win 7 Media Center computer. I turn off the CA firewall and everything works fine again, but I want to properly configure the firewall for MCE communications.I called CA Tech support and they started to help, but then refused to continue once the support supervisor was contacted regarding my problem, indicating it was up to me to obtain and sort out the port problem.Having read several posts on various sites on the topic outlining theoretical solutions, I have yet to find a do-this-it-works-and-solves-the-problem post. I posted this inquiry elsewhere but got referred back to all the stuff that I'd already found, read and tried (that didn't work).Since then I've found Microsoft's list of programs and ports that Media Center needs opened up, but am not familiar enough with CA's ISS+ to make the fewest number of changes to get the job done.

Windows 7 System Builder Versus Retail

Feb 7, 2013

I have a Gateway P 7805U. It came with a single 320GB HD. It came with Vista but I upgraded to 7. I want to install two 1 TB HDs set up as RAID 1. I was told by MS that I would not be able to transfer my OEM Vista to the new HD and that I would have to buy a full version of 7 to install on the new HDs. What is the difference between the system builder and the retail version of 7? Will I be able to to a full install with the system builder?
