That sucks. The worst I ever had it was working 16 hour days for 3 1/2 months. I had off the weekends tho. Most days worked in a row. 40 something.

I have all three setups in my basement. Socket A, 754, and 939. All running todays games at high levels. I agree with what you are saying but videocards have come a long way. The Tomshardware link should provide you with justification of what I am talking about. For ease of instalation, satisfaction, reliabilty, minimizing operating system woes. Dropping in a FAST agp card is the way to go in some situations.

Ok. Here is what you do. You have a few options. Get a Mobile 754 Proc. Get a 2.2ghz Venice core that is a pretty good processor. http://www.pcprogress.com/product.asp?m1=pw&pid=AMDA64MOB3000%2BOEM Mobile http://www.newegg.com/Product/ProductList.asp?Submit=ENE&N=50001028+2010340343+1051707438&Subcategory=&description=&Ntk=&srchInDesc= The Turions are a great choice but you need to find if the Mobo will support the chip. The last thing is if you want to spend some money. Invest in a better AGP videocard. This will do wonders for a Socket A system or a 754 system. Read here. http://www.tomshardware.com/2007/01/10/agp-platform-analysis/ I have a moblie 754 overclocked to 2700mhz. Radioactive uses it with a 7800GS agp. The system Flies!!! Stock was 1800mhz. The extra on die cache really helps and since they are mobile. The multiplier is unlocked.

Drop the drama and produce a game. :thumbsup: That way we can become The Armory and The Place where all the noobs play and all the "Leet" players complained about.

Hi KP. Nice to hear from you. I hope all is well. Gone on any vacations of late?

Yes Global warming. The lakes are too warm to freeze over so there is more Moisture for lake effect snow.

We got 6" to 9" of SLEET. Yes sleet. Unbeleivable. Sure their was some snow mixed in but when you shoveled it.You could Pour it out of the shovel.!!!

Good news for you. Bad news for Walmart. Didn't their stock just drop?

Don't end up like Ozzy now please Cleatus. <_<

Getting cold in here. <_<

What else is new. Meaning what else can MS make more difficult.

I had some good posts about Vista and what MS Bullcrap is going on with it. I will have to find them again. MS is really Not cool of late.

Dont work so much. Life's too short.

http://www.aumha.org/win5/a/wpa.php This is how XP does it.

http://blogs.zdnet.com/Bott/?p=166 Here are the practical implications of the change: If you purchase a new computer with Windows Vista preinstalled, or if you build your own PC using an OEM version of Windows, this change doesn't affect you. Your copy is locked to that PC and cannot be transferred to another. If you purchase a retail copy of Windows Vista and install it on a PC, you can install that same copy on another PC, provided you remove it from the original PC. In this scenario, you may be unable to activate the new copy over the Internet, but you will be able to activate over the phone. You can perform an unlimited number of upgrades to an existing computer running a retail version of Windows Vista. If those upgrades are significant enough to cause the computer to look like a new PC, you'll be required to reactivate within 30 days. This change should resolve one issue associated with the use of Windows Vista in virtual machines as well. Under the newly worded license, you should be able to move a virtual copy of Windows Vista to a new physical hardware without violating the terms of the license agreement, provided that you remove the virtual machine files from the old hardware. One detail about the new license-enforcement terms remains a mystery. How does Microsoft determine when an upgraded PC crosses over the threshold and goes beyond the specified "tolerance level"? In Windows XP, the algorithm used by Windows Product Activation was documented in a Technical Market Bulletin published around the same time Windows XP was released to manufacturing. For Windows Vista, Boettcher says, the algorithm has changed significantly. "The algorithm in Windows Vista has gotten a bit more intelligent and lenient," he told me. "Different components are assigned different values, with the hard drive and motherboard being the highest-weighted components." Earliler this week, Mary Jo Foley published excerpts from a draft document on Volume Activation 2.0 that appears to confirm this change. That section (which refers to "retail activation") is not included in the final version of the document posted on Microsoft's website. Boettcher argues that the algorithm has changed from its XP predecessor and that it's subject to change in the never-ending battle with software pirates. For Windows Vista customers, he says, the details are irrelevant: If you upgrade an existing PC, you'll be allowed to reactivate under the new license terms, and you'll have 30 days to do so, which is a significant improvement over the three-day grace period allowed when Windows XP goes "out of tolerance." Update 3:30PM PST - The Windows Vista Team Blog has this mea culpa: Our intention behind the original terms was genuinely geared toward combating piracy; however, it’s become clear to us that those original terms were perceived as adversely affecting an important group of customers: PC and hardware enthusiasts. You who comprise the enthusiast market are vital to us for several reasons, not least of all because of the support you’ve provided us throughout the development of Windows Vista. We respect the time and expense you go to in customizing, building and rebuilding your hardware and we heard you that the previous terms were seen as an impediment to that — it’s for that reason we’ve made this change. I hope that this change provides the flexibility you need, and gives you more reason to be excited about the upcoming retail release of our new operating system.
