Use Revo Uninstaller, that will get rid of all the programs you don't want and the registry stuff they leave behind, then use CCleaner to get anything left behind.

The Alienware M11x is a pretty good deal for gaming laptops (very portable too). My roommate bought one and it hasn't disappointed him, its specs are not the best but you can't complain when you're getting a GT335M card in an 11 inch package. The lack of a DVD drive may be a problem but nowadays you can buy games off Steam and if you want to install disc-based games you can share another computer's DVD drive over a LAN and then use a fixed EXE to bypass the need for a disc. Or just buy an external USB dvd drive.
If the alienware is too small, the ASUS G51 is one of the best deals and its 15.6" screen should be adequate. Also get a 9 cell battery if you plan on using the laptop away from a wall outlet on a regular basis, because a GTX 260M is a power hog. Other laptops like the Alienware M11x have the advantage of secondary integrated graphics that you can switch to to save battery/reduce heat when you aren't gaming.
the asus g51 looks really good right now
does just uninstalling the crapware leave annoying (im ocd in keeping the hdd clean :3) in windows 7? im still using xp right now :D
Friend of mine has an older model G51 from a year ago or so, didn't come with much crapware to start with and uninstalling it was fairly easy.
Since I don't have enough cash to finish my main computer, I wanted to update this old IBM NetVista PC. Unfortunately, I haven't been able to find anything that'd work for it since it's so old.
You think there's anything that I could get, new or used, that'd work for it?
It has:
Intel(R) Pentium(R) 4 CPU 2.00GHz
512mb of RAM
Intel(R) 82845G Graphics Controller (shitty shitty shit shit)
and an IBM Rev 1.2 mobo
Mainly I want to upgrade the memory and video card (or lack thereof), but if I can update anything else on this junker, that'd be great.
Personally I'd just save up some money for a newer budget rig. Not even worth upgrading...
On top of that, those motherboards are so old they don't have any graphics expansion capabilities.
I've already put $750 into a new build. I need $800 more to finish it, and nobody is hiring. I just want to get this thing so I can use 3ds Max.Quote:

The reviews seem good, and I don't think i'll need more than 6gb ram for a while, and by the time I would prices for a new motherboard would be lower, or there would be new tech.
But how are ASRock motherboards?
I saw http://www.newegg.com/Product/Produc...82E16813157189, I'm looking for a crossfire mobo that is atx (not micro atx)
Any suggestions?
Both fine boards... flip a coin over it or somethin
