He can run up to 5 different OSes at the same time. I am amazed while over at his house watching him do this.(and it is on a spiffy cool UltraSharp 2405 FPW 24" widescreen to boot) He gets more work done at home then he ever could at his place of employment. His superiors know this and never bother him if he hardly ever is "in at work". They realize that he can make them allot more money by leaving him alone and letting him do his thing. He also is very good at customer relations and he ends up going out(either Driving or Flying) to see customers and closing the deal since he knows both sides of the coin.

When the newer Dual Cores come out in 2007...look out...it will only get better.

Intel's dual core design is heavily flawed though. And needless to say, AMD's quad core is looking very appealing at this point. Intel may have something with their new Conroe core, but until I see it, I say SCREW INTEL, and go with AMD. You save power consumption, they generate far less heat, last longer, and in 90% of situations (100% in gaming), perform better then equivalent Intel chips.

ALright well my fiance found her own XP back up disk.. =P But the one I ordered is fine anyway just in case..

Well I built it up and it's looks WONDERFUL! running GW with awesome graphics the first time and going so smoothly for the first time made me smile. =)

Well they're not great shots but damn they look good on my system..

I got a free copy of COD 2 (Not really into WWII games but hey something to play) so I'm going to fire that up and take some screenies.

Sigh.. nevermind.. I've also gotten the screw up to not get a DVD/CD-ROM optical drive... So I need a DVD-ROM drive... Oh well good thing I spent well and have extra anyway. So no COD2 screenies for a while.

Well meric the call is yours. You can install it on your new PC and activate it but with the agreement that you unistall your old one

I think you might have to call MS to get a new activation code also...i done it a few times and it's painless. Just tell them you are reinstalling your OS.

I'm having an issue with some things right now..

Well whenever I boot a game anything that's RED will be removed and turned black... and my microphone doesn't respond well at all.

Is 32-bit color is the highest it can go (in the computer settings) because I thought it can go 265. =P
