dont belive so but i thought the way the licences worked is if your planing to use the pc on a different machine, aslong as you dont use it on the prior it would count it as one licence. when for example pcs offer 3 licence it means it can be used on 3 machines at the same time.
So would that mean that only three can be connected to the Internet at the same time or something, I know this is a noob question but I really do want to know!
@music guy123 i saw your post about new clevo models coming out, do you think it would be worth waiting? and what differences do you think they'd they'd have to the vortex 2 17"?
I don't think there will be massive differences, maybe compatibility with the new line of gpus but that will be a little while yet. I don't know what they will entail and I don't know what models they will be replacing so i would just get what you can now, it will still be brilliant and will last you some time.
hi, im ordering this weekend, and i was just wondering whats the difference between the 500GB SEAGATE MOMENTUS and the 500GB SEAGATE MOMENTUS XT i know the cache size is different but what does that mean?
That means that all the frequently accessed data will be stored in the cache, this will mean that the access speeds are much quicker meaning more programs will open very fast. There is a big difference.
The scorpio black is a faster drive in general but the normal size cache means that very little is put into the cache. Therefore, is a little slower. It is faster than the hard drive inside the hybrid. If I were you, I would just stick with a caviar black but the hybrids are much faster than your usual drive due to this cache. It is your choice, yes it does make it a little like an SSD. I guess go for the hybrid if it has enough space and you can afford it.
You can create a backup, programs and all, to an external drive or a second internal drive,
by making a system image(clone the system drive)
either to a second internal or an external hard drive.
unfortunately the windows own "create a system image" wont work unless the drives are of equal size or the target drive is larger than the source drive.
You will need something like norton ghost as mentioned by Music Guy, or acronis to transfer the OS to a smaller drive.
There is a program called Paragon Migrate OS to SSD which looks pretty good. http://www.paragon-software.com/technologies/components/migrate-OS-to-SSD/
some SSDs are supplied with free software like this.
