For the love of God Chris!!! I thought I had a problem, but jeez, you are out of controll!!! Dual 1.5 Athlon Thunerbirds? Wow that must kick some serious a... I am very pleased so far with my new setup, Thunderbird at 1GHZ, 512MB PC133, Gforce2, 20GIG ata100, 20gig ATA66, 12X10X32, 45cdrom. The best part is, all of the drives are on there own channel, it's a very nice machine and one heck of an improvement over my last K6II/550, man that thing overheated left and right!! The best part is just how cheap the AMD's are, only 120 for the processor..whoo hooo!!

512Mb ram -> 1Gb ram

18Gb Cheetah + 9gb cheetah -> 128Mb writeback cache 100MHz raid with 2x18 Cheetah raid 0 + 2 9gb cheetah
21" ViewSonic -> 20" Sun flat plasma

If I remember, that is all I changed this year on my main machine. I guess I can be said to be obsessive.

Every two to three months, what do you do with all of the old hardware? I thought I was bad because I bought a new machine after a year, sheesh:) kK

I will be using Win2000 for some time because of that crap. My computer gets upgraded every 2 -3 months.

If you buy the Server Version it does not have this limitation.

Has anyone heard of all the troubles that the new version of Microsoft is having getting released ??

One of the ugliest things I see is their new licensing scheme. They make sure you are using it only on a specific machine by having its functionality based on hardware items on your system. This configuration has to be registered either by phone or by internet about a month after it is installed or everything stops working. If you change something big, like a Network Card or cpu chip, your system will not boot because it thinks you have installed it on a different machine.

Anyone have options on the new XP ?
