Yeah... Too bad, I don't have the time to go around and see which one it is...

Maybe someday I'll just stumble upon it. :lol:

2405FPW user here. It's the most important thing about your computer. You don't stare at your mouse, case or hard drive all day. Why not put some money on what you will be staring at?

@Apoptosis, No, I'm up there in Canada. Glad to be of some help! ;)

@dgood, well yes, more than 69 actually, I didn't have time to install it on other machines yet. They are mostly dual cpu / cores too... I'll have to install a second service on all of them soon.

Cheers!

OK, I guess I'll write something here

Well my name is Vincent, I've been here a few times now. Looks like a nice place filled with good people! Kinda difficult to find such places on the net these days. I'm a software eng. student, and I also work full-time for a local school and for my own free web hosting operation. I've been into com...

Has RAID got to the point where backup (if the RAID breaks) isn't really needed, or do you still keep all your important stuff on separate non RAIDed drives? Dan Well you should still have backups on optical media, tape media, or offline disks... In case you get hit by a virus or an intrusion. At h...

I had one CRT do that exact same thing. It was a pro CRT that cost me over 1000$. When I tried to have it repaired, the technician told me that it was inside the tube and that he couldn't do anything about it. The monitor was just over 3 years old, and out of warranty :-( If you are able to fix it, ...

I've been running Vista for over 3 months now, and I can't go back to XP. Vista's biggest changes are under the hood. Developpers get access to better APIs, network managers receive a lot of new tools to apply policies to their LAN, etc. End users are not the one who will appreciate Vista's features...

Wait for Dell's "Days of deals". It happens every once in a while. They offer great rebates on 20, 22 and 24 inchers every time there is that deal. You could get the 22 for 249 or 299, or the 24 for 599!

If you wait a little bit more, you will skip AM2 altogether, which is good IMHO. AM2 is nothing more than DDR2, which offers nothing really better than DDR.

Wait wait wait. It's not a good time to buy CPUs right now. Unless you want to switch to Intel...

Yeah, 4x4 is not really worth it right now... I'm holding for the CGPU from the AMD / ATI merger... Can't wait to have a single chip do it all once again.

Color range, video quality, all better on a CRT. It's really sad that despite all the effort, modern screen technology still can't beat 100+ year old tube technology. I will be sad to see the CRT go, only to be replaced by a technology where it's considered fine and dandy to have a (varying) number...

It's only a gimmick... Multicore CPUs can handle the physics of any games without problem. Vista's gpu abstraction makes it possible for games to use a portion of the gpu for physics. The future shows CGPUs, where your CPU has an array of vector processing cores that are faster than any GPU today. I...

Well, I'm running Vista 64-bit with aero and it seems pretty fine. Ok maybe it's a little bit slower than on XP, but I don't mind. Maybe if you try running the console version?
