... not impressed... i could have putted Activex thingies(which sure are a copy of g desklets ...)and the xyz bar which is a thingie like the circular scroll comand of OSX...

if i had lots of time to spare i would try linux to unlock the 64bit potential, but im afraid it will be faster to just wait the official 64bit windows...

The beast goes back to the store tough, either to get a better fan or to stay there and me to get the money back(their choice, i really dont care, it sure was a depression buy) think its running too hot even without overclocking.
it tops on 75ºwhen uneder load, maximum temp on amd specs is 70º so that means somethings wrong and even if it is pretty fast righ now (and it is faster than the adrenalines at 1/10th of price...) i havnt seen him perform at its best and i dont need that amount of power at home anyways...

i meant faster because of the installation time, and specially the learning curve...

and i meant a copy because ive seen activex "desklets" that do the same(weather, news, clock,players,the trash bin,whatever...) and i bet linux introduced that concept frist...
