    Don't just burn the ISO file directly to the disc. You must burn the image to the disc. In Windows 8+ you can right click the ISO file and the option is there. For other versions of Windows and other OSs you must find a utility to do this. The Windows ISO is an image of an actual installation DVD and is intended to be burnt to a DVD. So, your previous method of putting it on the USB stick is actually more complicated.

    Well, if it deletes files and registry entries needed for the game; yes...

    In case there is confusion, this is in reference to your motherboard's VRM (Voltage Regulator Module), not your PSU.

    I don't know specifics about your motherboard, but in reference to the PSU's 80+ Rating, Bronze vs Gold doesn't matter (directly) in terms of overclocking, and matters more so in terms of your electricity bill. 80+ Ratings are about Power Efficiency. It is true that lower (or non) rated PSUs produce more heat, so in those terms it could have an impact if system cooling is an issue. From Wikipedia: "The efficiency of a computer power supply is its output power divided by its input power; the remaining input power is converted into heat. For instance, a 600-watt power supply with 60% efficiency running at full load would draw 1000 W from the mains and would therefore waste 400 W as heat. On the other hand, a 600-watt power supply with 80% efficiency running at full load would draw 750 W from the mains and would therefore waste only 150 W as heat."

    I'm running an AMD Phenom II X4 965 BE. I use PC2 8500 RAM (DDR2 1066MHz). I can achieve a couple of different stable overclocking options, and wonder which is "better". Stock: CPU 17 x 200 1.4V (3.4GHz) RAM 1066MHz Overclocked: 1. CPU 18.5 x 200 1.55V (3.7GHz) RAM 1066MHz 2. CPU 20.0 x 200 1.55V (4.0GHz) RAM 800MHz I believe the reason for this is the CPU's memory controller struggles with the PC2 8500 RAM, being that it is technically overclocked at stock. It would probably do better with DDR3 RAM also, but that is not an option on this AM2+ Motherboard. I can't go above the 1.55V without the PC shutting off, otherwise I feel with both RAM settings I could go higher. If I set the Core Clock above 200, even to just 201, at any multiplier or RAM speed the system goes unstable. I haven't isolated just why yet, otherwise this could be easier with a setting like CPU 16.0 x 250 ?V (4.0GHz) RAM 1000MHz. But even so, I'd still have the same question. Which is more important, higher CPU (4GHz at 800MHz RAM), or higher RAM (1066MHz at 3.7GHz CPU)?

    After visiting Tribler's forum, I would have to recommend staying away from this for awhile yet! First off, users are reporting that it isn't working anyway.. Secondly, some users are reporting Copyright Notices from their ISP because "while Tribler is running (downloading or otherwise) it will be acting as an exit point for other Tribler clients. These other users are basically using your connection to get the download from the seeder. As far as [your ISP] knows, *you* are downloading these torrents."

    Both AMP! versions look amazing; but the smaller size, quieter operation, and higher overclock potential make the Omega more appealing to me.

    Okay, so I'm really not trying to cheat here.. I only posted once, but for some reason it shows up three times. I see no way to remove duplicates, just editing options (which I'm using right now to change this third post).

    I love the fact that it sports an IPS Panel. Also, great to hear that the battery life is tolerable.

    Alright, I just found this on a Motorola Forum: I did a bit of research a while back with my Truimph that semi solved my "always out of internal storage space" issue. I was able to discover what was causing all my free internal storage to get eaten over time (constantly growing alog files). I now manually delete these files ever few days to keep my free space clean however I wanted to post in the official motorola forums since I'm pretty sure it's not a general android smart phone issue but a specific issue with Motorola Truimph phones (several other truimph users posted saying they had the same problem and were able to clear 900+ Mb by clearing the alog files). Now, if this is accurate, I have to figure out how to browse the system files, and delete these "alog" files.

    Also, under "Manage Applications" where it displays the sizes of installed programs, if you select any given app, it displays a breakdown of Total size, Application size, Data size, and Cache size. Adding all of this data up, it doesn't appear that the phone is admitting where all of my space went. It adds up to using only 224.39MB of 2GB total internal storage. Admittedly that wouldn't include space that the actual Android OS is using..

    I looked at Link2SD that you've suggested here. Seems like it just moves apps to the SD card, including those that wouldn't natively support that. However, the apps themselves aren't taking up too much space. As you mentioned, it seems it may be their cache data, etc. What I can't figure out is, why would a few 20MB apps, be using so much cache data, and can that data be stored on the SD card. The description for Link2SD didn't seem to suggest that that data could be moved.

    Well, I've had this phone since September, 2011. This issue didn't begin until late 2012, I doubt there would be any warranty claim, or such. I'm starting to wonder though, if there is a problem with the ROM that the phone factory resets to, and maybe if I rooted, and installed a custom ROM that may resolve this issue. My concern with that, is that custom ROMs tend to have their own issues..
