One thing would be for sure: EVERYONE would want to watch the super bowl at YOUR house!!!

Count me in please!!!!

when the installation asks you for the normal or advanced install(or whatever) uncheck everything that you can after clicking the advanced option (it wont let you uncheck the drivers-the only thing you need) HP has SOOO much crapware you dont need, like the photoviewer that doesnt even work most of...

Update: I removed Zone Alarm. Not the problem. My CPU was still at 100%. Then, I removed HP software. Bingo was his NAME-O! Only one problem: Now my printer does not work. Yep, got a $200.00 paper weight at the moment. I'm going to re-install the HP software, cause I ugh, need to print and stuff. I'...

So Sting3000...I was right? Zone Alarm was the problem? I'm sorry, but I have not had time to uninstall Zone Alarm yet. My family flew in for Turkey day and it has been bedlam at my house. I'll update when I get the chance to tweek in the next few days. I'm thinking it might be that damn HP softwar...

also, stay away from the geek squad... any retailer is going to tell you lies to get you to buy stuff.

Good point. I had not thought of that. Perhaps I call the Nerd Herd!

I'm going to regret this, but what version of anti-virus do you guys recommend? I have heard Symtac *sp*, but I want other opinions if you please!

Thanks in advance!

Thanks for the tips. Has anyone heard that the Newer version of Norton is less intrustive on your ram? Someone told me that at the Geek Squad at Best Buy, but I want a second opinion. I'm thinking of uninstalling some of the HP software. I just have to figure out what is needed and what is not. :) T...

Ok, I have looked at my running processes to try and determine what is eating up this 100% utilization status from task manager. I am worried that it is going to fry! Here are the ones that are using the most: vsmon.exe.........33,384K ScanningProcess.exe........25,952K svchost.exe (I have about 10 ...

Plz count me in!

Congrats!!!

One last question Major_A: Will the ATI video card guide work w/ my Nvida 7900GT? Sorry if it's a dumb question....

Thanks!

Major_A, Where do I begin? I have always wanted to try this, but did not know how. You are very kind to take so much time to explain this to me. I'm going to try this and let you know how it goes. If I REALLY screw up, I can always upgrade to the componets that Zertz recommended. Either way, (I thin...

If you want to keep most of your setup, a good upgrade would be a S939 Opteron http://www.newegg.com/Product/ProductList.aspx?Submit=ENE&N=2+50001028+40000343+1050706979+1302820275+1051707439&name=Socket+939 the 165/170 are pretty good deals and they usually overclock well. But if I was you, since ...

I LOVE gaming, and streaming video of Movie trailers, and that is about it other than listening to music, etc. Well bar really new games, like Alan Wake, most are single threaded. Unless you are doing a lot of video/music encoding then you won't see and difference in the 2 to 4 core jump. Personall...

Alright, but if YOU had $400.00 w/ the configuration I have above, what would you upgrade?

Sorry to keep bugging ya!

Thoughts?

Thanks!

SWEET! I'm glad I did not get it yet. Thanks!
