General Chat / Re: So...Windows 7?

« on: December 12, 2009, 04:42:48 AM »

I've decided I want to get Windows 7. Just for the **** of it. I don'twant to do dual boot as that's a lot of work and my hard drive alreadyhas 2 partitions on it.

Basically, what I want to do is just put Windows 7 in place of XP, which I'm pretty sure I can do.

Myhard drive has 2 partitions. One is C:, which is where Windows XP isinstalled. The other is D:, which has all my important data (includinggames). So basically I already backed my system up. However, what Iwant to know is if I can even do this without consequence. If I were tojust clear out the C: partition and install Windows 7 on it, would Istill be able to access the D: partition without any issues? Or would Ihave to reformat that partition to so Windows 7 could interact with it?I have reinstalled Windows XP on C: before without having to doanything to D:, but that's probably because I made both partitions wheninstalling XP the first time...


Anyway, any info would be appreciated.

General Gaming / Ways to re-speed up my laptop?

« on: December 11, 2009, 12:43:42 AM »

            My laptop has a blu-ray player built in. Its got an AMD Turion 64 X2 dual core mobile thingy, 4GB DDR2...When I got it, blu-rays ran fine. As did HD video files.Now however, blu-rays and any video that is 720p or higher stutters and loses sync with the sound making them nigh-unwatchable.And sometimes the strain of it running a video at all cause the whole thing to shut down.Any ideas why this is? It was so great when I first got it, but now it's struggling with even HD-ish Youtube vids.
