Its not bad but it has 1 major problem. When installing it, it either works or runs like cr@p. I have seen this many times before because i fix pc's for my internship. And only way to solve most problems, like for example office 2007 saying it doesnt work properly (uninstall and cleaning all data of it including left behind reg keys and then installing again didnt work) is re-installing your entire pc or laptop. After that hope for a good install or re-install again =_= (that worked), or simply use Windows Xp Black, its Xp pro with all the good stuff from Vista (note: this is not a legal microsoft version :P )
That first problem is not a problem at all, my HP (which is Hewlett-Packard btw :roll: jeez) runs sweet. The two major problems that I do have are 1. not enough ram (2GB isn't really enough, it takes nearly 5 minutes to load up Far Cry 2) and 2. I have Vista. But it's not like I can do anything about that second one, it's a laptop. I only get these problems when I install Service Pack 1 which means its got NOTHING to do with hardware, rather software...

You mean you can't install a different operating system over another on any laptop? Fascinating! I must be some kind of 1337-h4x0rz, then, having done just that to my laptop. :-k

Well lemme rephrase: I don't have XP, I couldn't be bothered trying to get a copy, I have no internet dl for the illegal option, and despite the fact that Vista is a piece of crap compared to XP, I like it more. It's just that Service Pack 1's a b*tch.

Actually you can get a Windows XP: Home Edition OS for less than $100 here.. Heck! Some shops here would even give you a complimentary option if you'd like to downgrade your OS to XP Professional.

If you really 'like' Vista, you can always run both OS by partitioning your HD. :)

I recently discovered I like Metalcore/Metal/Thrash and the sorts, I'm trying to learn how to double pedal, and listening to it over and over, it grew on me haha...one more thing I listen to adding to the list of everything haha. If anyone here plays Rock Band and goes on YouTube to watch the FCs and gold star vids, you probably know Blindz0r, he put me on :D

Yay, I just found out my monitor IS 1080p/i capable. Used nTune to push the resolution up to 1920x1080, as long as the refresh rate doesn't go about 60Hz, it runs like a champ. :D

Because the most (as defined by the driver,) the resolution can be set to is 1680x1050 (it's native resolution,) and it's to complicated to use Powerstip versus nTune.

That's probably the maximum resolution at the refresh rate you were using.

I'm only running DVI for my PC... I just wanted to know if (when) I hook up an Xbox 360/PS3 to it(via HDMI,) if it will be able to downscale the 1080p to 1050, instead of upscaling 720. :wink:

Someone did that on another forum I go to, but I wasn't in it. I feel so special. Excellent choice for pictures, by the way. :P
