My IT department says things like, "Oh its just an ID 10 T error, those never go away..."

I'm still running 7 x64 RC, and my computer never gets turned off (well, only when i HAVE to, and only when i wanna push the envelope a little more on my overclock) and i've been running the RC since June or July, and i can't wait to get myself a copy of the full version. 7 just feels faster, I'm running a Core2Duo e6550 (2.33 OC'd to 2.94) 4gbs of Mushkin DDR800 (oc'd to 1050mhz). Runs like a dream! Also, i installed the 32-bit version on my Atom based Acer Aspire one and it feels almost as quick as my dualcore.

I have one more thing to add, Windows Movie Maker. WMM was one of those apps that no body seemed to use 'cause there are better alternatives out there, but whenever i've had to use it, its been great foor things like cutting up videos.

 I recently built a sub 1000$ computer for a friend, his bidget was 800 bucks, (i live in canada, and everything is more expensive, so..) i used an Antec Three Hundred (awesome case, i was dissapointed at MaxPC's review on it a while back, they gave it a 5...) anyway, mine had a Gigabyte P55-UD3, Core i5 750, 4gb OCZ gold DDR3 1333, WD black 500gb, Corsair HX 550watt PSU. He didn't need an optical drive. Anyway, it was a really good build. I love building rigs to a budget, and MaxPC's builds like this are really good at showing me just how much one can do on a lower budget.

he payes taxes on everything he legally takes home. every form of income is taxed. he just "looks better" in the public eyes.

I have been using MyBook external drives for almost 2 years now at work, and not one of them has ever fallen over. at one point, i have five 1tb drives on my desk, so i made a pyramid out of them, and even still not one of them ever fell down. i just wish that they had better airflow, 'cause mine get mighty toasty after hours of hard use.

Oh, mine was an AMD duron @ 800mhz with 128mb SD100 to a screaming fast socket 478 Celeron @ 3.0 ghz with 1GB DDR400. Ah, the memories. I still have that Duron, i think its in my trunk!

the core2 line of processors are reliable and fast. i'd buy a core2quad before any AMD, hands down.

 Looks like my e6550 might be demoted to a server, and my gamer might be getting a few more cores...       -Denis
