Hmm... system restore? That's on my useless applications list to be honest. It's one of the first things I turn off, alongside User Account Control (UAC) and Windows Defender when I re-install Windows on my PC

In the age of inexpensive 2 terabyte hard drives, a few gigs might not matter, but there are situations where you might need that extra space. This week's tip: Reclaim Some Storage Space with a Few Simple Tweaks http://www.techspot.com/guides/232-r...ome-hdd-space/

@mailpup: The XP portions were written based on XP Professional SP3, but I suspect XP Home is no different. Are you using "Classic View" in the control panel (white background) or "Category View" (blue background)? @JudaZ: In case you missed it, we said altering the page file is not encouraged -- but frankly, it can be adjusted with no performance impact to save space on some systems. Also, it was *first*...

IMO the built in tools can provide a good enough way to clean up. CCleaner may be nice, but Disk Cleanup is already there to clean up temp files and such. Under "More Options" it allows to remove old system restore points without disabling the entire system, which I wouldn't do, as in more than one case that helped me restore a PC to a working state.

Excellent work - very nice recap. Now I just need to win the lottery. ;) I have the Antec 900 case (Enthusiast rig), and it's a terrific case - highly recommended. Keep an eye out on sales by TigerDirect and NewEgg - I've seen it for as low as $70 from time-to-time.

Quote: Windows XP Open the Control Panel > Performance and Maintenance > Power Options > Hibernate > Uncheck 'Enable hibernation'. I have Windows XP Home SP3 and I don't have "Performance and Maintenance" in the Control Panel. It goes from the Control Panel directly to Power Options.

I also use CCleaner often and i don't use hibernation. But since i don't have a big HDD i but i burn a lot of DVD's (and i take care of them so that they work even if i didn't touch them for years).

So, no Nvidia Cards? Meh.

i dont like the PSU recommendations on the $500 and $800 systems also i think the 4870 would be better than the 5750 especially right now when there around the same price.
