Often times when a computer slows down it is not a virus or spyware that is causing the problem. Sometimes it's memory, sometimes its just an old installation of Windows that really needs to start over, and sometimes it's a hard drive that has gone or...(read more)

64bit Operating Systems - Are They Worth It?

RjBass — Tue, 22 Jan 2008 15:03:00 GMT

April 2005, Microsoft releases Windows XP Professional x64 Edition. Most assumed this was to go along with the mass production of 64bit processors from AMD and Intel. It has been nearly 3 years since the release of XP x64 Edition and a year since the release of Vista x64 Editions. So where is the support?

Sorry everybody

RjBass — Tue, 22 Jan 2008 14:53:00 GMT

Well just in case you didn't notice, all of my old blog posts have been re-posted today. This is because something went screwy with my Eggxpert account and for some reason, all of my most recent blog post going back to mid December were not showing on the site. They were search-able if you knew what to look for, but they were not appearing on the main blog page or on my own blog page.

So I put in a request to fix the bug and as it turns out, it was only with my account that this problem was happening. However the Eggxpert staff worked really hard on my behalf and after a week or so of working on it they got the problem sorted out. The only thing is that we had to delete my old blog and basically start over new again. To preserve all of my previous work and to ensure that people would still be able to read what I have done, I reposted all of my previous articles. So I apologize that my old posts are currently dominating the main blog page here on Eggxpert. It was necessary however to get things moving along again.

Moving on, I am finally going to get to work on parts 2 and 3 of "The Big Brands - Which Is Best?" as well as give you all some other articles to ponder over. Enjoy

Christmas At A Geeks House

Christmas at a geeks house.

Published 03 January 08 02:51 PM | RjBass Edit

Well kids, I'm back from my long holiday vacation and I'm finally writing my first new blog post in weeks. I know I have some other topics that I need to get back to, but over the vacation I came up with the idea for this post.

Christmas came and went this year just like it normally does. My boys, ages 9 and nearly 12 made out their Christmas list starting back in October and on December 25th they were finally allowed to see what they got. Opening their presents I started thinking "this is not your typical kids Christmas". You see, my boys, like me, are geeks. They have both built their own computers and are really into various computer hardware aspects. So unlike many kids who often put allot of toys on their lists, my kids had computer components on theirs.

Protect Your Systems

Protect Your Systems – Originally posted on 10 December 2007

Ok, so I have started writing part 2 of the Big Name Brands 3 part series, but then this idea hit me.

So virus protection, and cleaning your systems of dust and dirt, I've covered those topics already. But as I am sitting here in my kitchen in Kansas City, freezing rain is falling outside. The Governor has already issued a state of emergency for Missouri (and for those of you wondering, their are two Kansas City's, with the bigger and better one located in Missouri) to prepare for what they are thinking will be hundreds of thousands without power come Tuesday evening.
