agreed, old but got me to look

thats cool

2x512MB Corsair XMS DDR400 (stock speeds)

Portable Clamwin (anti-virus) and Winpooch (firewall) are about it I made a guide on how to configure winpooch as a software firewall here http://www.msfn.org/board/index.php?showtopic=68523

The Fedora releases have pretty much always been on time give a day. Yeah I've had issues with the Test releases before BTW Screenshots from FC6 T2 http://shots.osdir.com/slideshows/slidesho...t+2+screenshots

um I think that would be Vista, but XGL apparently has more features than WDM even

Google Spreadsheets is the worst unforunately, I only use it because it uses my google login and it is still faster than opening OO Calc. However I am really impressed by Zoho Sheet in particular, and I am patiently waiting for Google to release Writely again. Despite all that I am sure Portable OpenOffice will always be on my hard drive, because I can therefore always have my documents and the files will always be open format and private if need be. What I would really like to see is AbiWord and GNUmeric get a little bit better

Well I think Blue-ray is overkill anyway. HD-DVD has enough storage for our future 1080p movies, plus those discs can contain a layer that can be played back in current DVD players. One nice thing about Blue-ray is supposedly the DVD menus can be more sophisticated. But that is OT.

Well the PS3 might be a bargain if you're looking for a Blue-ray DVD player, which is really only true if you already have a HDTV and big bucks to spend. I think I'll just get the Wii since I mainly game on the PC.

no surprises there imo. I still have to look into what these Cable Cards are though, I just read all about HDCP, HDMI, 1080p, LCD, DLP, yadda yadda yadda recently

gMail + gCal + gSpreadsheet + .... I have been using Portable OpenOffice for almost a year now, but lately I've been doing everything using 'gApps' etc. For spreadsheets also checkout iRows and Zoho Sheet.

Just FYI most people dont need a power supply past 200W. My PC for example (see sig) uses around 83W with CnQ (cool and quiet) on the low and around 120W when taxing the system, and I am overclocking the thing 20%. The focus should be on PSU Efficiency unless you have several drives and grahics cards. The more you know

WOW I want one! That said I would really like to see more "external graphics cards" for laptops and sff pc's where cooling, space, and power are often a problem. Also why are they bragging about running Google Earth on this? This will probably be under the reccomended requirements for UT2007

within the next month or two unforunately.

doing a clean install vs an upgrade is not something I mind doing, in fact it often saves time in the long run by avoiding future problems. Although I would agree these upgrade paths are a bit confusing. Of course Vista has to improve greatly from its recent builds before I even consider installing it on my computer

I am sure they wish this could make them $350 million, though that wont happen I am sure they'll get something out of this. Maybe they will just have more betas now? As for bandwidth costs its a ridiculous excuse in this age of torrents.

Keyboard FTW.

1. "winkey+r" 2. There is a way to show the 'classic panel' i think its an advanced button somewhere. I found it when I was trying to disable cleartype.

I've bumped up the cluster sizes on my drives from the default 4kb to 8kb, 16kb, and 64kb. The drives rarely get fragmented now.

Thanks for the news

I usually start by looking at NewEgg because they have a wide seletion and alot of reviews. But I also check: zipzoomfly.com chiefvalue.com monarchcomputer.com pricewatch.com froogle.google.com fatwallet.com slickdeals.net Ive also shopped at mwave and ewiz before.

MPUI (MPlayer Frontend), MPC (MediaPlayerClassic) + FFDShow, rulesPlayer (another MPlayer Frontend), VLC, XMPlay (audio player).

try ImgBurn http://www.imgburn.com/

This is an oldie but excellent free program. Can Windows even show a 256px icon? That would probably be a huge file too. I did post about this before too http://www.msfn.org/board/index.php?showto...&hl=aveicon
