Hi All,

Yea.. haven't heard back from anyone here in over a year.. I'll let it slide,. word has it that there is life outside of nforums.

I got a new 'puter:

Q6600 (nice Quad) 2.40Ghz with 2GB RAM and 250GB SATA2 16MB Buffer HD.

took me 3 days to recover all my data from my old hd that decided to die prematurely (it lasted 8 long years).

Now.. blazing fast compuer allows me to play mind sweeper ever fast.

Oh.. I'm ashamed.. but I've the most horrible thing you can think of: I purchased a real license of XP pro SP2.

Cheers.

congrats on the new comp :) with that speed, I would not use that XP directly tho, but put linux to run underneath & then run it on virtual system. saves much of trouble on reinstallation. Well, I'll know more later once I get faster net back (lost ADSL-modem on it's firmware upgrade, warranty had expired already - new one coming in from the wippies though). Pretty hard to install something from the net with GPRS-connection, lol =)
Have to confess myself too, using legal windows.. got the vista for free for beta testing it, so it was pretty cost effective solution. how does the system work ? hopefully no problems.. mine keeps crashing, thus the try for virtualization. Not the mem, came clean during weekend of testing.. propably has to do with cmedia's integrated audio :(

Well... the system pulls up fine for nearly 3 weeks, so I'm happy :)
It is very fast - boot time is barely 20 seconds which is fantastic for me as previously I would wake up,. turn the power on.. go on brushing my teeth then come back to press the 'login passwd' and go on for dressing up.. then i would finally finish loading up.
so 20 secs is nearly unbelievable.
I don't think I need to VPS thingy,. I'm comfortable with the installation, and since this works fine and it is a business computer, I don't install much of the possible trouble software outthere. No games etc (though this could probably be a fanastic game machine with very powerfull graphics).
For a monitor I had a 206BW Samsung which was great, only problem was that I'm not comfortable using the WIDE screen and it is not very effective for business work (you can't see a full A4 page without the need to scroll 3-4 times).
So I replaced it with an ASUS LS201 which is H-U-G-E and amazing in brightness, and sharpness.
