um... so you plan on building a new comp? if so why the 7950gx2? imo its a waste and causes too much heat.

and what exactly is your purpose for 6000 dvds? please dont tell me you plan on pirating movies and selling them!

well lets not get into a fight. to me rc1 is a good beta, but yes there are still problems. and if u have problems then just report them to MS....

same here what exactly are the advantages of a usb keyboard over a ps/2? theres gotta be one...

haha. i personally hate dmachines, they are even cheaper then dells! lol

well what video card do you have exactly? model number? otherwise the specs will be find to play WoW. you could try that 10day free trial to see if you comp can play it or not before deciding to buy it... you may be able to add in a 7400 or 7600 into it, im not sure where to find that info, maybe you should give sony a call about it.

well since you mentioned aim, trillian works just fine also, so does winrar

sims 2 = working: seems to run smoother than xp

well my 7800gt got a 5.9 also and we both know that your card is ALOT better than mine. so currenty the scoring must be limited to less than 6.

um? why isnt it? so your telling me you would rather have 1000 infections than 1 infection?

im not sure if connecting those things where the red is pointing at is what u want, but i'de have to guess so...

haha, make that 2500 into a 2600 and you'll gain .1

well i just thought that you didnt know why yoore overall was 2.1 so i guess its my fault here.

lol, im not too sure either, but thats all i could find on the subject... http://www.ocworkbench.com/2006/asrock/ALi...I_Vcore_mod.htm

well what about streaming your music thru winamp or something similar to that? but im not sure if ur able to select the songs that way.

umm... they are in the library. and from the library i made a playlist.

possibly a driver issue, and what do you mean by the welcome screen? does it actually show you name/password to login? or is it just blue?

right now im booting vista and xp x64. but at other time ive had up to 5 at once...

ya i though about that one too but i figured that he would have know if he had disabled it before...

thx for the info on that, im just so used to xp where you need the cd in at all times.

well by looking at my overall score too, my score== my lowest component score, which it even says that below my overall score

i never used extensions when i used firefox b/c i never needed any of them. opera is just faster and safer imo.

That's pretty much my opinion on that too: none of those "maintenance" apps. Getting rid of temp files by hand every now and then is quite simple and fast. Defrag every once in a while (I hardly ever bother). Virus/spyware scanning whenever you like (I've got nod32 resident, and I never bother doing scans for viruses or spyware as I haven't caught any in a VERY, VERY long time - no spyware since I ditched IE, and no viruses in years). As for the other apps, I wouldn't want those on my system. Most registry "fixers" often do more harm than good and such, and with no real/noticeable improvement (unless your system's an absolute mess, in which case you might as well reinstall anyway). I see no need for apps like this... finally someone who think like me! but my experiment was to not install any type of protection out of my router's firewall. and i mean nothing at all, i ran no test at all. 6 months later i ran all of the normal test, nod32, adaware,spybot,defender. all that came up was 4 errors for something firefox related which i only use for testing websites i make so i know they work on all browsers, and just 1 spyware. so thats 1 spyware over 6 months with no protection, now i think thats pretty darn good!

Vista does indeed calculate your CPU score based on all available physical and logical processors in your system. Hyperthreading helps, dual core helps more, quad core and beyond would help even further. So to answer your question: yes, that score does include your 2nd core. well thats just a shock to me... wtf do i need then! an x6800! oh i wish...
