Well, sorry for hi-jacking the thread, at least :D I am still not sure if this is the issue though, like I mentioned before. I've used SSDs in netbooks and have found the performance to be rather lackluster, so I'm not sure a 7200 RPM drive will improve much. I could be wrong though, and it's...

That's what impressed me. For the most part, up to this point, netbooks, like SSDs, haven't varied much between each vendor, so it all came down to overall design. But with these two, both are quite different, and cater to a different crowd. I'm glad to see Gateway do well though, as I've liked...

From our front-page news: A couple of days ago, a Dell employee posted on the Direct2Dell blog that the company was retiring the Mini 12, a "netbook" that it released way back in February. This understandably caused many to question the reason, as I've met no one that has thought bigger netbooks...

I couldn't be more boring in this regard. My current network list is: RobWilliams-PC techgage home-1fe5a659ea RobWilliams-PC (Yes, two) TG-UC7807u Nate-PC If I was a wee bit more creative, I'd name them similar to how we do our web-servers, with mild technical names like "pixel" and "vertex".

From our front-page news:When purchasing a vehicle, new or not, it's always been common practice to go to a local dealer and have a look around. But with the popularity of the Internet, it was only a matter of time before people would sit at their computers and browse instead. And why not? At...

From our front-page news:Remember HD DVD? The HD format that never could? Well, it's been well over a year since Toshiba officially pulled out of the HD format scheme of things, and since then, the only HD optical format has remained Blu-ray. It's been long-rumored that Toshiba would shift over...

I haven't heard of telnet or remote registry being a security risk for a while, so I'm not sure how they are the "two biggest" security risks in Windows. But either way, telnet isn't enabled by default, so I'm not quite sure what threat it poses. As for them not being there at all, sure, that'd...

Hi Cobra: Your setup looks quite good! Just make sure that the Intel SSD you purchase is from the latest generation, since there are some important changes made (such as the ability to update the firmware to support TRIM for when it becomes available). Depending on how much you overclock, the...

What a difference ION makes. No Atom-equipped PC I've touched so far has been able to handled HD YouTube video. To be fair though, it doesn't run well on my AMD Neo64 notebook, either. Fair enough. I didn't realize nLite went the extra mile and took additional software out of the installation...

As with most things, it's going to come down to how much money you're willing to spend, because where monitors are concerned, higher-quality panels offer noticeable differences. But, it also depends on how fussy you are, because in all honesty, even $250 24" monitors offer good quality, such as...

From our front-page news:Although I'm not entirely stoked about it, there's a huge shift lately in how companies would like us to use their software. If you ask Google, they believe any application you need should be available online, and they've proved it by offering suites of various sources...

From our front-page news:Yesterday, a fierce storm blew through the Internet targeting Windows 7, and the reports weren't good. It's been discovered that there is a severe enough issue that many are believing could result in a delayed Windows 7 release, although that would be tough to believe...

From our front-page news: The Internet has been around for about 14 years now, which many would consider to be a while. But, despite all that time, the legal system still hasn't had time (or so it seems) to catch up, as there are still many uncertainties about what's legal, and not, online. Even...

Custer's Revenge is a classic, in that it pushed all the wrong buttons when it first came out, for all the right reasons. I don't know who one earth isn't offended by the premise of that title, and if you aren't, then I'm not sure what to say! Others at the time like "Beat Em and Eat Em" and...

Well, this is the digital age, and some people just can't help but load all their downloaded videos on their laptop to take on the go. Not to just watch them themselves, but to show friends and the like. Drives like this, though, for the most part, cater more to people who use notebooks as a...

I agree with that for the most part, but that's not always the case. I have a friend with a 12" notebook, and that thing gets hot. He told me so, but when I actually used it, I couldn't believe it. And he's using it on a flat surface, and keeps care of it like no one else. Thankfully, notebooks...

Curious... how does it handle YouTube HD video, such as this? Those drives are slow, but the CPU or chipset would become a bottleneck way before the hard drive. I've actually installed SSDs in netbooks and saw slower or equal performance as a normal notebook drive. Nice price! Especially for...

They are not stressing this as being a feature everyone will use, but are offering it to people as a last resort, of sorts, for applications or devices that might not function in Vista, due to whatever reason. They don't expect people to use Windows XP for more than anything than this, because...

Haha! I thought I was picky! Hmm... what's the difference, exactly?

PC = Personal Computer Windows Machine = Completely Configurable = Personal Computer Linux Machine = Completely Configurable = Personal Computer Apple Machine = Hope You Like What You Get = Hahahahahaha!
