    Which would you buy in a Thinkstation?

    After a few days with my P300 SFF with a i7 4790, 16GB and Intel 180 SSD; it was well worth the upgrade from my 58P. Not only is it quieter but is faster in webpage rendering; many are instantaneous now. With my 58P with Samsung 830 SSD and 8GB of RAM it was fast but there was a lag on some...

    Samsung SSD and SATA BIOS setting

    goombawaho, Should of purchased the 850 Pro! It a little bit faster and has a better failure rate score. I have the older Samsung 840 Pro on my 2007 era Thinkpad Z61p; and it blasting fast for internet surfing and boot up in about 6-7 seconds. I have done nothing to the drive and it works...

    I final got it back to normal again. When I loaded Backup and Restore; it was the same as before; with a red "X" over the "D" drive (DVD burner). What I did was to select change setting and enter "c:\Harry and then complete the bottom which is the name and password for the network authority...

    How do I find where my default location for Windows backup and restore program?

    Thanks goombawaho, rclarke250! "Backups are saved in this format: backup location\computer name\Backup Set year-month-day time. For example, if your computer name is Computer, your backup location is E, and you backed up on April 2, 2008 at 16:32:00, that backup would be located in...

    How do I find where my default location for Windows backup and restore program?

    I changed the location of my backup path to do a backup on drive E:\ which is my USB drive. And now the Back and Restore cannot tell me where the network location is for the default backup and restore files that I created. I like to go back so it is automated again! How do I set back the...

    Which would you buy in a Thinkstation?

    Works for me! I made the purchase on another driver finder program that I like more and I done already all my PCs except my brand new notebook! Everything seem to be working "great"! It save me a lot of time since it only took about 10 minutes a computer instead of 5 or 6 hours! You do it...

    Which would you buy in a Thinkstation?

    Well, I ran a driver detective program online and went about trying to get the drivers one by one instead of paying $30; it took me about 5 hours to track down most of the drivers that Lenovo, Microsoft and Intel automatic updates somehow missed. It like 20 drivers that are kind of mysterious...

    Which would you buy in a Thinkstation?

    Okay, maybe I am to sensitive! I may just wait a couple of years for the Boardwell M Core III to come out and it should be in desktop by then. But I kind of got computer fever right now and want to buy something! LOL! If I can hold off until Intel release it Boardwell-DT with the Iris Pro...

    Which would you buy in a Thinkstation?

    Hi Goombawaha, The reason for quiet is that I spend most of the reading stuff and do not like to be continuous hearing hit pitch noise while the PC is on. Sometime when I leave the AC off the PC step it up in noise that I open the cover to low it and the pitch to a medium tone. So that is the...

    I decided to play it safe - since it is Lenovo top of the line desktop. Going with what is stated on the specs - Intel Quad Q9650! Still pricey!

    Upgrading CPU in my Lenovo M58p!

    Oh! I forgot to mention that I could in desperation - load in a generic bios for the Lenovo M58p. I done this several times when I was young and there where restricts on several consumer brand motherboards that I will not mention since I would be bad mouthing them if I did. They still in...

    Upgrading CPU in my Lenovo M58p!

    Currently have a Duo Core 2 E8400 in my M58p. I am thinking a lot between Intel's Xeon X3000 series vs. Intel Duo Core 2 Quad 9000 series. And if I should buy used vs new. My M58p can accept up to Q9650 Processor. But I can get a better deal and much less abused processor if I go and buy a...
