The Lifehacker blog referenced in post #10 suggests that to maximize SSD life it's a good idea for laptop users to disable paging and hibernation....
I started this thread with the question quoted above. Thirty something posts later I believe the concensus is that (with the glaring exception of...
That's good info - thanks mood!
So in your situation formatting "consumed" about 7% of the stated capacity. I wonder if that "loss percentage" occurs for any stated capacity?
Say I buy an SSD that is spec'd at 500GB. What should I expect the 'actual (available) capacity' of the drive to be after Windows formats it?
I (as Admin) plan to install MR6-Free and setup a backup schedule. If I am not logged-on but my wife (Std. User) is logged-on during a scheduled...
Although I'm using BD-Av Free 2014 on WinXP, my neighbor has been running the 2016 Beta on Win8.1 for the past couple of weeks. When I asked how...
Apparently this free version is only for x64 systems (it wouldn't install on WinXP x86).
Mahalo. Lots of them on ebay - search for one with your cpu's socket (or one that's complete with a cpu)!
...and as I only going to use SBIE when Firefox is launched I'm thinking the free version is good enough - correct? Ps @ Bo,,, sorry about your...
Aloha, Would someone tell me the last (maybe I should say 'best') version to fully support WinXP SP3 (x86)?
Having recently said 'sayonara' to Rollback Rx, I'm very interested in using SD to protect my WinXP Pro (x86) system. What's the latest version...
Thanks Cruise, I'll be sure to relate that to my wife.
Aloha bellgamin, another XP stalwart (and islander) here. I use and recommend MBAM-Free for on-demand 2nd opinion (+ other cleanup). Some here...
My wife has MBAM (for Mac) on her MacBook. Does she need an antivirus in addition to MBAM? o_O
It claims "A new patent pending design makes our antivirus’ memory footprint incredibly small" - but I'm more interested in how light this would...
Speed for certain!
I also found that to be an issue with PC Mgr. I've decided to stay with BD-AV (free) as it is extremely light, updates regularly and it's quite...
Hi Wendi, Basically, the situation boils down to IObit being accused of stealing Malwarebytes intellectual property and IObit denying it. The...
Maybe. Some of the other AVs using the BD engine haven't scored too well in AV-Comp. I sure can't figure out why that is - any idea?
I agree with JB's reasons for not using WMP, plus I've run into missing audio codecs (in WMP) which I've needed at times. I prefer an all-in-one...
As described here I also use Puran Defrag and I totally share your enthusiasm.
Download link Download link - please.
Hey guys, if you read my sig. you would see that I'm running WinXP (where defragging-optimizing makes a big difference)! And fwiw, my data files...
Rolo, I never tried MyDefrag. Does it offer a boot-time option - with file placement optimization?
