Morning....Just a shout and a few kind words of thanks to the membership.
I have had such a pleasant experience with this last set up and wanted to share some of it. Being an old fart and you know how old farts like their "old" things, I wanted to do a "go-Back", you know, a Back to the Future trip. So I did some looking and researching and ended up buying a "used" "refurbished" Dell 990MT on Ebay for 200 bucks. Came with I7, 16g ram, ssd and 1 ter hdd and a nice video card...and fresh Win 7 Pro with necessary drivers and such. Well, with tips and tweaks from SevenForum members, I got and installed SP1 and the great Simplex update package, a couple little things from Dell Services, a nice little $10 usb 3.0 card, swapped out the 1 t hdd for a 1 t ssd I had in my "custom" built pc now in the closet.
So after using this pc for at least 10 hours a day for the last six months, I must say its the best I have ever had. So quiet i cant hear it from a foot away, runs very cool, boots or re-starts in 30 seconds .... is plenty fast and quick with any program or browser, never has a blue screen or problem. Win 7 Pro is smooth and has been absolutely without a hitch. I love how I can turn off WU and not even worry about it. I have been thru several anti-virus programs...and now am on the Spectrum Security Suite which is free to me as a customer.
So once again, thanks to everyone who runs and participates in this wonderful site and who all are instrumental in keeping a really good piece of technology running so great after all these years. The Tutorials, the Great List of programs, Drivers and on and on. Thumbs up on a first class site and membership. Clas of 56
