Guys, I know a few of us have SSDs. I'm pretty sure more do than we know.   What say we all share any tips or tweaks we might have so we can all benefit from each other's knowledge.   Or maybe we can ask a question, someone else may have the answer.   I'll start by saying I have an OCZ Vertex Plus 120 GB.  Sata II on a Sata II Mobo.   Currently, I get the following stats when testing. I wonder how this compares with yours and if it can...

Anyone out there ever have a buzz or static noise from the PC speakers?   I have tried everything from rearrangement, moving the router, disabling unused stuff, even muting my mic. Plugged the power cord into a different socket.   Only way it stops is to turn speakers off.   PC off but speakers on, still get the noise.   It's very faint, but noticeable in a quiet room. Driving me nuts.   Any suggestions?   Creative 5.1 surroun...

OK, I just wanted to see if any of you that have installed Windows 8.1 Preview have the WEI part of Windows.   I have it on a Virtual Drive and I don't have the WEI option. Just wondered if it's because it's a VM.
