get the dell..you wont be disappointed.

Nyck · 06-13-2006, 12:41 PM

my wife has that dell now...I know its pretty nice..I'm going tonight to eyeball the other one.

You have 14 day return policy from bestbuy, I might pick up the widescreen one and set it up head to head and see the difference

Himmler · 06-13-2006, 02:57 PM

you should splurge a little bit and get the 2005fpw. pure sex, they might have something newer called something different now though. its the 20" widescreen.

i want the new conroe! gerv? how about it??

geRV · 06-20-2006, 06:23 PM

Conroes (core 2 duo) kicking the shit out of everything at present, already know some people that got engineering samples on ebay for next to nothing ffs. spank:

Yeah, I'm thinking my next upgrade is going to be Intel. Kinda funny how things flip flop like that. AMD used to be the price+performance leader. Of course they still have time to respond to Conroe. Some rumored Pricing for Conroe:

AMD's price cut's supposedly on the way:

Since both platforms have moved to DDR2, PCI-Express, etc it really does come down to CPU performance and price. Seems like Conroe will be the way to go

Question:

I "found" a copy of Win XP Corp which has SP2 already with it. Can I turn on automatic updates?

The reason I ask is I also "found" a copy of Norton Internet Security 2006 and it has that X in the norton box unless you turn on automatic updates. It kind of bugs me and I want to know if its OK to get the updates or not.

Thanks.

LOL, yeah it's cool man. My bro gave me his cd of win xp pro and the cd didnt work so i just "requested" a copy of it and it worked, updates too. and But i have a question, what else have you "found"? happy:

automatic updates will work but you wont have access to the windows update site

ninty · 06-22-2006, 07:30 AM

I know it will work, i mean should I be doing it because I have a "found" version?

if you do, they will track you down, grant you us citizenship and send you to iraq.

I think it just does not allow you to download updates, they don't send stuff and delete your HD or find out where you live
