    Windows 7 Fonts Jagged, ClearType Off

    I have recently bought a new computer DELL Studio XP 8100, GTS 240 video card, Windows 7 Ultimate, and was shocked how bad the fonts look on Win. 7 compared to my old computer running Windows XP. Why Microsoft, why mess with perfection? The fonts on Win. XP look perfect - sharp and crisp - why...

    How to Clone Dell's Recovery Partition to Another Drive

    I figured it out. I have tried a number of different cloning software programs, but Clonezilla (which is free) is the only one that worked. Others worked too but the Dell's recovery partition was unusable.

    How to Clone Dell's Recovery Partition to Another Drive

    Hello, I received my new XPS 8100 a few days ago, and I would like to replace its hard drive (I planned on doing it before I ordered the XPS system). I would like to replace it with Western Digital Caviar Black 2TB, but while I have cloned drives in the past and generally familiar with the...

    Core-i9 vs. i7-975 Extreme Edition

    I just called Dell to place the order and they offered me the i7-920 for the price of i7-860. Should I take it? The i7-860 has a higher clock speed, but does it run noticeably faster (if at all) than the i7-920?

    Core-i9 vs. i7-975 Extreme Edition

    I already have three monitors. As for the 500GB HDD, since I plan on getting the Western Digital Caviar Black 2TB, the 500GB HDD is already included in the price. The video card, yes, I think the GTS 260 would have been better, but it is not avaliable on the XPS 8000. I still have 7800GTX from...

    Core-i9 vs. i7-975 Extreme Edition

    Thank you for the info Pelt, but I am not buying that system anymore. I understand now why I do not need the i7-975, so I am going to get the XPS 8000 system which is a lot cheaper than the XPS 9000. Here are the specs: - Studio XPS 8000, Intel® Core™ i7-860 processor(8MB Cache, 2.80GHz). -...

    Core-i9 vs. i7-975 Extreme Edition

    I appreciate everyone's feedback. Thank you for making me realize that I do not need the i7-975. This will save me a lot of money that I will spend on the faster hard drive. I am planning to get the Western Digital Caviar Black 2TB drive.

    Core-i9 vs. i7-975 Extreme Edition

    Funny thing is, that is what I was planning to get. Well, actually I was planning to get the i7 940, but I was also considering the i7 860. Out of the blue, Dell pulled those CPU options out of the XPS 9000 configuration. Now it only offers i7-920/965/975. But the XPS 8000 does offer the...

    Core-i9 vs. i7-975 Extreme Edition

    I know this will sound lame, but I am not into overclocking or system mods, not because I do not think it works or anything like that, I just do not have the time to deal with it, and I am afraid I do not have enough knowledge to do it myself or deal with potential issues. I want to buy a system...

    Core-i9 vs. i7-975 Extreme Edition

    Hello, I have finally saved up enough to go after the i7-975 Extreme Edition, but I have heard that i9 is coming soon. I understand that it is too early to come to any conclusions since the i9 is not out yet, but based on the available information about the i9, would you recommend waiting for...

    ATI Radeon HD 5870 vs. nVidia GeForce GTS 240 for Video Editing

    Thank you all for the quick replies, it was very helpful. Going with the GT 240 will save me some money that I will spend on the Western Digital Caviar Black 2TB drive, but I have one more question: How does the GT 240 compare to the HD 5870 in terms of heat, noise and power usage? I was trying...

    ATI Radeon HD 5870 vs. nVidia GeForce GTS 240 for Video Editing

    Hello, I am trying to decide between the ATI Radeon HD 5870 1GB GDDR5 and the nVidia GeForce GTS 240 1024MB. I am planning on gaming from time to time, but nothing serious. My primary focus is video editing such as encoding and compiling DVDs from my Canon HD video camera. So, my question is...
