The HP laptop served me well through three years of extensive use. It's been left on overnight, day in day out, running Folding@home while I'm surfing the Web, doing my college work, or when it's otherwise not used for gaming
@Boris_yo Yes, and it's not keeping up with newer games
It's about 3-1/2 years old
It was a great system at the time, but when I finally got around to installing Steam and bought my first modern game, Need for Speed: Hot Pursuit (2010), the frame rates were barely playable at best.
I am wondering if there is an application which can check my program and tell me which are the program that I am not using so I can delete them easily.

@OliverSalzburg is it just me, or is the uniqueness and usefulness of a program's "under the hood" functionality inversely related to the quality of its UX?
so many programs with amazing functionality on Win32 that have breathtakingly horrendous UI
UX is complicated, and unless you have people who are able to solve UX quandaries time-efficiently, you can end up either turning out an awful UI, or having your project ship late (or not at all) due to UI problems
I can't tell you how many times I'm writing a program and I have the underlying functionality working 100%, but I can't figure out a solution to a very stumping UX problem
Apple always tries to make things simple, but often to the point where they lose valuable technical information. Here's an example of a UX decision I don't like:
Macs indicate 24-bit color depth by using the term "millions of colors", while Windows calls it "24-bit" or "32-bit". (I'm aware that Windows "32-bit" color simply adds an alpha channel that doesn't really add anything to the color gamut, but eases the display of transparent objects.)
While the...
Is the part "the purpose of setting ASA to auth.." in the last para supposed to be a quote? I didn't get any results from that on Google but the formatting in the editor is weird around it
In an attempt to set up Radius Service in Windows Server 2012 (first time I have touched a Windows Server, going through tutorials) I am getting the following error when I check Event Viewer -> System:

@Boris_yo It's meant as a full replacement for my HP system, not merely a complement to it. There will be a long transition period as I migrate everything to the Dragon, but the Wyvern will be phased out.
Sometimes this dialog box will pop up (see screenshot below). Every time it appears I select "Keep the current color scheme, and don't show this message again". Windows then reminds me again -- either the next day or after reboot, or sometimes another 5 minutes later.

@Boris_yo why is everyone telling me to cache random crap?
I don't even have a problem here. I just find that message interesting.
trying to cache crap on a flash drive sounds horribly unreliable and slow
I'm not even objecting to that message - my ears (those fans are loud) and feet (that air is hot!) are telling me that the GPU is working near or at capacity
Well, a flash drive can be a lot faster than a HDD. Example: Two 10K RPM 2.5 inch SAS drives maxing out at 5MiB/sec on random access, while some flash drives can do that three-four times as fast.
Or more, I never tested random IO on my throttle flash drive (seq. read is about 90MiB/second when that flash drive is connected via eSATA and somewhere near 20-30MiB/sec when connected via USB2)
T had one 32 bit (!) server which should scale up to 80 camera's. (80 record, 80 analyse for motion, show up to five of them where motion was detected). That one got tested without a proper HW cached RAID card and with a single server.
And with security software which did not run on x64.
and 20 test camera's
No ram to cache the information. Just write 20 streams to disk now now now now.... Pretty much killed performance
