That's not too bad of a price for that kind of system really. I run an AMD Phenom II X 955 on an MSI 790FX motherboard, so your system is pretty similar to mine, and should be a little faster given the processor. I am really impressed by the performance I can get from this system! Did you...

I did some research recently into some of the different NAS devices available and actually ended up choosing the HP HomeMedia LX195 media server. It's not really a NAS, but a basic file server. I was really quite impressed with it, especially for the cost since it is about the same as an...

Spybot is another common (and free) anti-malware application I forgot to mention but I have used it on more computers than I can count. It has a lot of features to control and administrate the security and operation of your computer as well. However, I've noticed recently they must not be...

The absolute best antivirus programs are always changing from year to year, it's often best to find something that is rated up towards the top for several years running. Very few independent tests have placed the big-name antivirus programs at the top now for many years (such as Norton and...

A couple of our designers have noticed similar strange issues with files from iStock causing Flexi to crash, so I doubt very much that it is something with your computer but instead something with Flexi itself or something with the files from iStock.

My personal selection for video cameras has always been Canon, it is what we used for courses in video production and I'm thrilled with both that I have owned. I purchased a new one just this Christmas that is a Vixia HG21 and it has been perfect for me. As Kraig said above, you get what you...

There are several different methods of transferring information from one computer to the next, each have their advantages and depend upon you or your tech's level of comfort with that method of transferring files. The method suggested by WrapperX above is a pretty common option. I've often...

You are correct, Casey, the first company that made the big news for this practice was Sony. A couple others that are making the news currently or have recently is Yahoo! (off of user account information from Yahoo Messenger, Yahoo Mail, etc.) and Google (from their street-view vehicles...

Pre-installed bloatware is something that every major manufacturer does from Dell to HP to Gatway to MSI and the list goes on and on. The only way to avoid it is 1) purchase a business class computer as often the will ommit the games and add-on trial stuff (which is probably why your Dell came...

You can get a lot of bang in a computer for $2000 now, there are a lot of options out there. With this budget, you can go with a very decent quad-core processor, either the i7-860 or the i7-930, or the hexa-core AMD Phenom II X6 processors are about the same price. You should also plan on at...

Virtual Mode is a free feature of Windows 7 Professional and Ultimate editions only, so if it is the case that Virtual Mode is required to run Flexi 7.6 then hopefully, RiXaX, you have one of these versions on your new computer.

Before going and changing all your software, I would first check the driver for the USB dongle. Even with the newer versions of Flexi you often have to download and install the sentinel drivers for the dongle before your computer will recognize it. Just do a google search for sentinel or...

Version 3.6.3 here and really haven't had any crashing problems for a long time. Running on Windows 7 Ultimate x64. Have you tried clearing our your preferences and disabling add-ons or plugins?

While there might not be much difference in the ability to upgrade between the Dell Mini and the ASUS, generally there is a difference in the quality. ASUS is a premium brand for computers, and in fact in recent years have ranked the same if not better overall quality than Apple, which has...

Windows 7 Starter edition is not something I've worked with, and really not preferred. It has been been somewhat design handicapped in that it limits what you can do and how much hardware can be in place on that system. If the netbook isn't quite powerful enough to run the standard Home...

As it has been stated before, XP Mode is only natively supported in the Windows 7 Professional and Ultimate versions, but not in the Windows 7 Home Premium version. That being said, however, you can still get XP Mode to work in Home Premium with a little work, the problem is that it is not a...

Actually what I am anxiously awaiting arrival is this

This is what we ran into when we remodeled our interior offices here recently. We already have about a 15 foot USB cable that has been connected and running our Graphtec plotter fine for years, but when we tried to do through a USB hub for longer reach or just a longer USB cable in general over...

If you need to go longer than about 15 feet, due to signal loss and some devices not wanting to recognize properly at longer lengths, then find a USB to Cat5 adapter. These adapters allow you to run any length up to 500 feet of Category 5 or higher ethernet cable between two USB cables and...

New VelociRaptor actually was just released. You can read more information from Toms Hardware.
