I was wondering if anyone has used a voucher for Vista from a major computer company (ie Dell, HP, Asus) and upgraded to Vista. Is your XP key still valid? I'm worried about getting the voucher, installing Vista and then regretting it...

I've been using Opera for about six months now and I really enjoy it. Seems to be much more secure than Firefox. I still go back to Firefox or IE for certain sites (my bank website complains if I use FF or Opera). One other thing...

I would go with the e1705. You can probably get a brand new one on ebay for like $1800 with a 7900 GS. Then, in a year or so you could always sell that and buy whatever is the latest on ebay again. I did that going from a 9300 w/7800...

I got around to putting my old harddrive back in (system came with a 100gb 5400 RPM, but I wanted a 100gb 7200 RPM). I ran 3dmark05 with 91.31 XG drivers and got the following scores: Score: 8402 Test1: 35.9 fps Test2: 25.9...

I have the exact same problem. I reformated and used all the same drivers except video drivers and lost 1000pts. I tried uninstalling drivers (plus Driver Cleaner) for four different drivers (Original Dell drivers, a 90 series...

Nice job! Can't wait for the 7900 GTX to be available as a spare part!

That's weird... So they don't bother telling you its out of stock? He just told me that it was 1000 and asked if I would like to order today. And I did call that spare parts number.
