I just built a new machine. I think I remember reading that Microsoft was adding some of the Windows 10 snooping capabilities to Windows 7 updates. I'm just wondering if that's true, and how to tell which updates to avoid if it is.

What's the difference between: installing your OS and all your programs on the SSD and: using the SSD as a cache drive? If both options give you equal performance in terms of speed what would be the advantage of going with the cache drive option?

Hi, I've built dozens of systems over the years, so have some experience at this. Recently installed an XP 2400+ with AMD stock HSU/fan into a Shuttle AK32 MB that previously held an Athlon 1100.

Hey All, Yesterday I received my new Maxtor Maxline II 250 GB drive from Newegg. I run WinXP with SP1, and I made the registry change to support 137GB drives. Whenever I run Thorough Format or Thorough Chkdsk, however, it freezes at about 60%, and just never progresses any further. (Could...

I eventually came to the conclusion that while a Celeron 900 would work in this board for the most part, the 900 was not fully compatible....
