the number probably is right, but does it only include unique downloads? because i know that i've downloaded firefox quite a few times after various reformats and the like.

that would be a great purchase, but only if it were $200 or less...

1. Pentium 75---> IDT Winchip 180 (don't you just love those old intel knock-off cpu's?)

2. Geforce 5200--->Geforce 7600GT

3.512MB DDR---> 1024MB DDR

[I got a new computer at some point in between these two] 

4. ATI Radeon 3200 (integrated)----> Radeon 4850 

5. Athlon X2 4200+ ---> Phenom II X3 710

other than that last one, i never really made a major upgrade.

In Canada bandwith caps of well under 100GB are common. i'm paying $40/month for a 7mbps connection and only get 60GB of bandwith. it's ridiculous to impose such a small limit. but my only option is to pay and extra $20/month to get 100GB/month. going over hurts too. i went over by 2GB this month so i'm going to have to pay $5 extra...

I'm running the vista x64 drivers on win7 without a hitch. performance doesn't seem significantly better, but hey they work perfectly!

i really enjoyed left 4 dead, but i found far cry 2 a bit disappointing. the story wasn't as deep as it could have been, and i had many stability issues which put me off the game for quite a while. Another game i enjoyed was mirror's edge. (i know it just came out on pc so it doesnt really qualify for this) but it was fun and different from a lot of the other games i've played. Crysis warhead was also a letdown. The story in crysis was bad enough, and this did nothing to change my opinion. Unless they improve the story, i probably won't even try crysis 2.

anybody manage to get through? i got the server too busy message over and over, and now that page seems to have disappeared. i also can't get it through MSDN.
