Its a way of forcing your Processor to work faster then it is supposed to. Kinda like going into a cars computer and making it run a little faster.

Actually, that was my second computer. A TRS-80. First was a Texas Instruments TI-994/a
Cassette tape data drive (no disc drives then). A whopping 16k of memory. LOL
When I look at how we have come from that to smart phones, I am just amazed.
16k,,,,yes it is amazing. By the way my Mom worked for TI in Dallas when i was a very young man. I remember her bringing me a Calculator. I thought it was the most awesome thing. Man have we come along way.
By the way,,remember the floppy drives? I havent used one in yrs,,but i have a ton of them with programs and such on them,,,,,,Yehaaaaaaaaaaaa

One of the best things I have ever done for my Computer is switch my Main drive with my Operating System (Windows 10) from a regular drive to a Solid State Drive.
I have this one. It is 250GB. http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16820147372
For my other drive where I actually download everything else I have a 2TB Drive.
The SSD allows my Computer to boot up in only 15 seconds or so. Compared to over a minute with the old drive.
Just my 2 cents.

Yeah Hammy i am going to get me an SSD pretty soon. Right now i have 2 SATA Drives. One with my OS,the second for Imaging my 1st drive and backing up files and such. That way i wont loose any of my stuff if my 1st drive goes down. Those SSD are fast,,,Yehaaaaaaaaaaaa
By the way that Samsung is a very good SSD and has very good reviews.
Hammy,,they also have Hybrid Drives.

I have had it for over a year and it has never had a problem. Fires up super quick. The hardest part was remembering to not save files on that drive because 250GB goes quickly.
A Hybrid drive is a logical or physical storage device that combines a fast storage medium such as NAND flash solid-state drive (SSD) with a hard disk drive (HDD), with the intent of adding some of the speed of flash storage to the cost-effective storage capacity of traditional HDDs. The purpose of the SSD in a hybrid drive is to act as a cache for the data stored on the HDD, improving the overall performance by keeping copies of the most frequently used data on the faster SSD.
There are two main configurations for implementing hybrid drives: dual-drive hybrid systems and solid-state hybrid drives. In dual-drive hybrid systems, physically separate SSD and HDD devices are installed in the same computer, having the data placement optimization performed either manually by the end user, or automatically by the operating system through the creation of a "hybrid" logical device. In solid-state hybrid drives, SSD and HDD functionalities are built into a single piece of hardware, where data placement optimization is performed either entirely by the device (self-optimized mode), or through placement "hints" supplied by the operating system (host-hinted mode)

Yes and every GB is expensive on a SSD. Ouch
Yeah I originally wanted the 500GB one but it was too Pricey. They have come down some this year though.
I may try the Hybrid just to see what i think of it. Love the idea of having both type on one HD.
Got the Microsoft Scam phone call yesterday. I let the Idian ***** talk till he was done,,even made him think i was doing to my computer what he ask me too. Then i told him whata lying thieving Moron he was and laughed my *** off. Hope the assshat falls off a building in India. By the way,,,do not fall for that crap. Microsoft will NOT EVER call you. Lots of ppl have gotten screwed by this scam. If they get into your computer they take over some of your log files and even lock your screen up with thier telephone number on it telling you to call them and they will fix your problem. Its all total crap. If they get into your computer,,just restart in Safe mode or use your Recovery Disk and do a system restore and then turn off your remote services and leave it disabled. That way they cant get into your computer, ,unless you fall for the phone call scam and turn on remote access to your computer. Eather way be carefull or you will lose some money and give them control of your desktop,,,and believe me,,they are not MICROSOFT, ,,LOL

My buddy just got hit with this last week and he fell for it. He called them and let them in but he stopped and called me when they said he had to pay $399 to fix his computer.
He brought it over to me and I fixed it in about 2 minutes.............. and, I only charged him $299. LMAO Wow, what a pal, eh? LOL j/k
It's had to believe that this stuff is as common as it really is. I guess we have new users every day. So, they have new victims.

Kicked her out 6 years ago so I've been down that road...Oh man, today's **** ain't like "Playboy" days, WH.
Very difficult to find anything erotic, let alone air-brushed, arrggh, TOO real sometimes, I could throw up, really,
I actually prefer literature now, I'll paint my own pictures thanks.
