@ zstadt: I think the 450W was a VX model, with fixed cables and in their Value line of products (I stand corrected... well Sit Corrected, but anyways I wasn't aware of the HX450 model that is listed on Corsair Website). I'm not sure if there's a differnce between HX and HX 'Profesional Series'  in Corsair's marking language.

The first paragraph is different in Google Reader vs. the Website,  has a correction been posted?

It depends on what add-ons show up.  If/when No-Script, AdBlock, and TabMixPlus (or equivelant programs) show up I'd give Chrome a shot at being my prefered browser.

I'm using FF as my main browser. Chrome is my second choice, but all I really used it for is faster performance with Google docs vs. FF 3.0. I don't see the difference between FF 3.5 and Chrome. Once a month I launch IE (Eight on most computers and seven if not) to update XP. Actually that's more often than I've launched Chrome recently. I tried Opera before I heard of FF, it didn't impress me, and I was probably using Netscape then. When I tried FF 1.0 that grabbed me with it's extensions and add-ons. I gave Opera a try again vs. FF 2.0, but by then I loved FF's extensions and add-ons. I'm not going to change browsers until I think there's a problem with mine.

 This site lists the intel Core i3, i5, and i7 lines

I think there is a restriciton on anyone that has/had a new CPU from releasing performance numbers untill a certain date.

Today's update is hillarious.  I won't spoil it for anyone.

I think NIS 2009 rating should be downgraded to 8 due to it's behavior of installing Firefox toolbars.  I don't want the damn Norton IPS which installed when NIS was, or the latest Norton Toolbar  which installed itself or updated and re-enabled itself today!  Well, disabling the unwanted add-ons is easy, but you cannot uninstall them. 

It's still a good program.  I'm glad I paid for it (well, I sent in the MIR from frys and haven't recieved that back yet... that's another story)but this toolbar instalation isn't cool.

It seems that you have to put something down in the negative column. While I and others have no problem with these negatives, somebody may want to put some VRaptors in a NAS Box... which may be less expensive than a NAS Box with Enterprise class 10k RPM drives (I don't price such things). Any such person will be disappointed if they try that. If the "next gen" HD cage has non-movable connections for power and SATA became standard, we'd probably see a new version of the VRaptor that would fit. This drive is designed to be the fastest Desktop drive for consumers, based on WD's Enterprise class HDs. If it doesn't fit where it's not designed to go (a laptop for example) too bad (I'm sure somebody will try to mod a laptop/VRaptor to fit). For now my VRaptor sits in my tool less HD cage perfectly.

There is a way to get headphone and mic from the small 1x10 connector on side of the SB X-Fi Xtreme Music and Audigy 2ZS cards I own. I used instructions from http://audigy2zshowto.blogspot.com/ and a few other sources I found on google. Unfortunaly my crimping didn't work well, so next I'm going to try solder.
