yeah ... he has no sense of polite timing. i've learned to use the quote button an aweful lot in this thread.

That would just make it too easy.

[rarocks24]

Well yeah, whats your machine like?

Yeah, i might attempt to put a voodoo curse on microsoft and force them to hurry up, finish developing it and release it

All hail the chocolate rabbits

Intel Pentium M Processor 1.6 GHz (with the same performance of a Pentium 4 2.4 GHz processor minus Hyperthreading).
32-Mbit video card (ATI Mobility Radeon 9000)
1024 Mb of DDR RAM (1 GB)-soon to be upgraded to 2 GB of DDR RAM
Intel Pro/Wireless 2200b/g
Broadcom Gigabit Ethernet
14.1 LCD display (why didn't I get a widescreen:ashamed
1024x768 resolution etc...

I plan to upgrade at the end of the year to a Dell Inspiron E1705 with dual core processor...I'm hoping that the RAM is compatible so I can bring it over...etc.

As for releasing it...the reason is not because of Microsoft but because of the computer companies wanting to have time to make sure the Operating System can be packaged with their computers and have great performance). I don't see why they should hold it back for them...they could go ahead and release it this year and the OEMs would have to catch up. Wasn't this always the case before with Windows?

Oh dear. Too much computer facts and figures and stuff.

*Head explodes*

Erm ... sorry about the mess ...

AMD Athlon XP 2000+

With a mere 128 MB of RAM and cheap video. I built the thing dirt cheap.

Cool, but arent comps extremely cheap over there?

Cool, but arent comps extremely cheap over there?

Yeah. I built it for around $400 US.

That was before I added my sound card and DVD burner, though. And I already had my $50 set of 2.1 Altec Lansing speakers.

Yeah, cuz in the case of desktops, we build the d***** things!

I recently took mine to a 2.2GHz Opteron.

If I were you I would have upgraded the RAM before the DVD burner. But then you'd be waiting for the DVD burner instead of the RAM...so...

I also may be getting another motherboard soon. If so, I'll have an AGP slot to work with, which means I'll be getting a decent video card.

Cool....lol... I snapped 2 2gb sticks when i ripped that other piece of sh*t apart...it was actually relaxing

Ok, i forgive microsoft....now im off to voodoo curse the manufactuers

Isn't that a server processor?

Yeah, I need to upgrade the RAM, but the burner was a birthday gift. I don't complain about free. I'll get getting the motherboard in a similar manner.

I have an AMD thunderbird. That's pretty much all I know about that. It's computerish though.

Blame Microsoft. An OS shouldn't require such large machines to just run.
