We'll see about that but I smell more PITA coming from these "libraries". Anyway the effort is worth mentioning. Thanks Pitch!

Neither cruel, nor reality as it turns out.":O}

Dude face it, you sold out for toys, now I don't mind you having them, but I don't want what they cost. My position is simple, evil men own this world, I'm just trying to live in it. I will deal with the Bill's of this world when I absolutely must. I use 2000 pro after all and morally there is only a little (Phone home DRM and mess of other crap) difference between the two.

However I will need something more compelling than what you've mentioned before I give Bill any more money. When it takes more trouble to mess with 2000 pro than it's worth I'll know it.

Hopefully Vista will be more than a Gates wet dream of wealth by the time I need it, but I doubt it. I think Vista may well be MS first huge flop, as in the REAL world telling MS we don't like it, we don't want it and we sure as hell won't buy it.

So, to each his own, I own principles, you own vista! LOL!

P.S. I bought Halo by mistake, I didn't realize it was an MS product. sorry, won't happen again! ":O}

The Anti-Vista wars have begun! ":O}

Chris, As iI re-read my last post to you, it seems to me that what I had hoped would be seen as humorous, might be taken a bit to seriously...We be good.":O}

We be brothers in hardware! ":O}

[chrisbard]

Exactly, you are not so excited about the new stuff and you can still play using 2000. But when the time comes and you'll see the new games and goodies that can't be emulated on XP or 2000 then you will do it I want it faster you want it slower, there's no big difference.

My x2 3800 @ 2700 @ 1.45 volts.

My 7900 @ 580/ 790

Both are in the loop. I measure water temp with a probe and an aquarium thermometer in my res. I measure core and GPU temp with several programs. All come with in 1 C of each other. I also have another temp probe touching the cpu. It reads lower because it is not at the source of the heat. Not chilled yet. Water temp now is 26C or 79F. CPU 32 loaded. GPU 39 Idle....

[chrisbard]

Hell thats nice but you forgot to mention that you keep your rig inside your fridge

[Samuknow]

Thought about it...

I think my wife would count that as the final straw though....lol

[chrisbard]

With latest XG modded drivers Call of Juarez DX10 benchmark is running great ! Did you guys tested the "beast" with this bench?

[Samuknow]

Hey, have you downloaded the inferno demo from steam?

Pretty cool.

Great graphics. Probably look great on that 8800

[chrisbard]

LOL funny you mention it, I did dld some 400 Mb when having to restart the PC after installing something I forgot that I was dldng. Bleah I will dld again if you say is worth.

PS you mean Infernal I think?

[Samuknow]

That's it..It is 3rd person but very cool. I think you will like it. I like it enough to possibly pick it up retail.

As I've told you before, when 2000 become more trouble than it's worth I'll know it. And Vista may force it's way upon my desktop. But it won't be because I have to have the new weather it's worth having or not.

Nor because someone else thought I should so that they will be more comfortable with their choice.

Welcome to the club Daniel !

[Daniel ~]

Why thank you Chris, say, that's a really nice Graphic card you list in your signature, ever try and over clock it?

[chrisbard]

Yup I got the core at 660 stable and the memory @ 1700. But the memory I can test further.

Guess I should sign up ... do I get a cookie in the process, or just jaw-dropping pictures on my screen when playing stalker?

ATM my little 8800 gts (640 mb) is running stock ... as I havent been able to make it sweat at stock, and my time is limited I just havent gotten around to seeing what it can really do yet

I think I might need to get a new monitor though ... 1280x1024 makes it yawn
