    Workhorse for less than $500

    If you buy from Dell Small Business there is no crapware. Also just bought 3 HP systems from Sam's - no crapware. If you buy the $299 systems from anyone, that price is offset by trash. Buy business class machines for $700-$800 and you're good to go.

    Need advice for new trading computer

    I have a 6 year old home built system that's still running great. All for home builds. But if someone asks my opinion as to what they should do, go buy a Dell!

    Win7 reformatting - like WinXP?

    Sorry I misunderstood (probably read too fast). I thought you were going from XP to Win7. You're in good shape.

    Computers don't become obsolete from hardware failures - it's from malicious changes in software that make your hardware fail to continue functioning. It's only backwards compatible so far. Fire up a Windows 95 box and log onto CNN and try to read the news; it's not going to happen even though...

    Need advice for new trading computer

    Build or buy a trading box from the monitors backwards. What will it take to have the monitors you want? If you want four screens, you need 2x pcie x16 slots. Pack that sucker with lots of fast ram. Today 16gb of DDR3 is a good start but you may do better buying the ram after market instead...

    Projector specs

    As much light (ANSI lumens) as you can get and as much resolution as you can get. Then get room darkening shades (the roll down kind) to install behind your curtains in the room. A nice 7' leather couch with recliners each end and you're in heaven. Best nap you ever had - 20 minutes on that...

    Win7 reformatting - like WinXP?

    Suggest you run Win7 upgrade advisor from Microsoft before you wipe the disc. It can be picky.

    Russians selling music for 9 cents per track. Copyright is dead.

    You are buying stolen property because the seller is not paying the owner. With music, it's not as bas as say, new cars. If someone was selling brand new Cadillacs for $2k, you either knew or should have known they were stolen cars. At least that's how a prosecutor would frame it.

    Can't delete partition XP Pro

    DBAN will smoke anything you can put at it. Like Scat said, mount it as other than primary drive and have at it.

    Workhorse for less than $500

    If you want a true "workhorse" you need a higher budget. And if it's a trading box, the presumption is that your success is dependent upon the performance of the machine (and other factors). Up that budget to $1k or more.

    Judge revokes Zimmerman's bond

    The yet to be created jury already knows this; no need to include at trial.

    Judge revokes Zimmerman's bond

    That money has been publicly known about for quite a long time. Why does it come up now? And if they recorded the passport discussion a month and a half ago, why is that just coming up now? If I were on the jury I would call this one strike against the prosecution. Sounds like it was their...

    Quiet Laptop

    They're going to take your money, eat your battery sooner, generate more heat and cause more noise. You can get very good clock speeds from an i3 or i5.

    Quiet Laptop

    Dell Small Business Vostro Ships Fast i3 or i5 with lots of RAM. I have one and can't hear it. Great machine. Don't fall for the i7. Look at the clock speeds on the i3 and i5. Less power consumption, less heat, less noise.

    Internet Speed Shootout! What's your speed!

    Where are you? It's only logical that the first in anything is eventually the worst. We had the first railroads and our railroads suck. Highways are getting better. Internet has been playing catch up since day one.
