fuck these new drivers and the CCC, that resource whoring POS


Im still sticking with my 5.8's

You oOo:

Sorry to inform you, but when you eventually upgrade to vista you HAVE to use that "resource whoring pos". Fail to see how something whores resources when it relinquishes the ram it uses when its needed, if it were whoring resources it wouldnt' relinquish the ram at all.
