  1. Well I've decided not to bother with Vista, heard too many bad things about it. Besides, half the reason I wanted to go with Vista was so the 4GB of RAM gets used. Instead of the about 3GB which will be used in XP Pro. Also I think XP Home only recognizes 2GB?

    Yeah I've tried spec'ing out a Core i7 system, it always tended to cost more. I got the impression I get a better bang for my buck sticking with quads or duos.

    I'm trying to rally this all up for about $1000 bucks. So it's a constant give and take, somethings gotta go. I initially spec'd out a PC for only $850 and was happy with it. But the more I look into the details and the more I re-spec, then the higher the price goes up.

    We're both in about the same boat as far as spec'ing out new systems under a grand, and then waiting. ;)

    My advice would be to keep playing with it, and just wait till Win7 comes out in a couple of months. No point in paying for either XP or Vista. And all the components will have dropped in price by then.

    btw, nice system Scott. And yeah, a beige box will be fine, thank you very much...

  2. Ok thanks for the link Sergei, that's exactly the kind of info I was looking for. I'm gonna pass on the quad core for now.

    Might want to reconsider.

    The price of Celeron 570 processors, designed for laptops, dropped 48 percent to $70 whereas one of the company's quad-core desktop-computer models, which have four processors on one piece of silicon, dropped 40 percent to $316, the news agency said.

    Who cares if you're only using half of it if you're only paying half the price? ;)

  3. ME ................. : )

    Undaunted. Thanks for the research. I think I quite like the sound of playing PiPa : )

    I suspect that the attractions of two women simply performing rather than erotically performing is a magnitude of difference in effectiveness. I think historians have a habit of bowdlerising the good bits!

    They also have a habit of cleaning them up.

    I sorta doubt a bunch of Hun warriors were that big of fans of the, er, more cultured performing arts and rather preferred the sort that required a fistfull of ones.

  4. Think I froze my Cocytus off last night.

    THE RULES then, short and sweet:

    S) Go away.

    O) Go even further away.

    D) {***sigh***} If you’re still reading this, you’re still too close. But if you insist, PAY ATTENTION!, or go away.

    O) This is the Peng Challenge. Challenge someone SPECIFIC, just make sure it’s not Peng. Try a newbie SSN such as yourself, not a Knigget or an Old One. If you don’t know what a SSN, Knigget, or Old One is, go away.

    F) The key word being CHALLENGE, sound off like you have inherited a pair from someone other than your pet hamster. If you can’t manage this, go away.

    F) Do not sound off about your pair. Try to act like you have a modicum of wit, style and panache OR Half of a Brain. If you won’t keep this thought in your Half of a Brain, we will boot it to the other Half, and you will go away.

    !) If you have any questions at all, post absolutely NOTHING! We will get back to you at our earliest inconvenience. And go away (are you starting to see a trend here?).
