Robdog888 got a new system

[ganeshmoorthy]

Rob: congratulations, you got a new system...looks like good config...whats the cost...

[RobDog888]

Yup, its soooo fast even considering I'm running Vista with full animations etc.

I built it myself, took awhile to pry myself away from my other system (posting on VBF), but less then $1,000 as I already had the 3 LCDs.

Soon as I clean off my desk and open the system again, for an internal picture, I will post a picture or two of my desk/systems.

IE7 still sucks, Vista's probably too buggy(wouldn't know personally), and only 2Gb of RAM? What's wrong with you?

and a 74Gb hard drive? My laptop's got more than that...

[RobDog888]

The RAM is 667 MHz so to get a matched pair/kit of two 1 Gig sticks is a bit much seeing how I wanted to get it all together before the end of the year. Then dont forget x-mas is approaching too.

74 Gig Raptor HD is a high performance 10,000 RPM drive, not cheap either but I hope I will be getting 2 more to do a RAID 5 and a couple Gigs more RAM if Santa is listening


Ps, absolutely no issues at all yet and IE 7 rulez!

[timeshifter]

Santa isn't real...

[penagate]

IE 7 is nice, compared to 6.

[RobDog888]

Yes he is and he said he would bring me everything I wanted. Dont talk smack about S Dawg!

[timeshifter]

I only have one thing to say:

[RobDog888]

You have your date wrong - Not 11.9 but rather 11.22

[timeshifter]

I hate M$... but that's sweet...

[RobDog888]

It really is allot of GUI, 3D effects, animations, and semi-transparencies but I think its worth it as its an actual functional Alt-Tab window switcher. You just click on the window to make it the active and front window.

I got a vista transformation pack for myself.
Anything like workspaces in vista or is it just one single desktop?

[ganeshmoorthy]

yes the animations in vista and office live are really nice...

[RobDog888]

Havent looked into that yet. Just been running it along with my other system which is XP.

[shakti5385]

what is the indian cost??

[Valleysboy1978]

Already got a Alt+Tab switch previewer for XP so that's nothing new.
And IE7 is an improvement on IE6 (what wouldn't be?) but it still sukz

I'm not rich like you. I only live in LA and not paradise like you.

[timeshifter]

Always gotta bring this thread back... :gun:

[RobDog888]

I just got home. Been out all day. Didnt want to be rude and not reply.

[Merri]

I wanted to reply so that you won't feel abandoned.

[timeshifter]

Ok code geniuses... Prove it. Make my computer explode remotely. Preferably violent enough to kill me. Or a sudden power surge that jumps to my body. it's a laptop, don't worry.

Thanks, I hate it when you guys abandon me.

[ganeshmoorthy]

Thanks, I hate it when you guys abandon me.

There is nobody here will abandone you as you are the super power holder (Sup Mod)...just kidding...lol

[RobDog888]

So if I quit Modding and stepped down to a Member would you guys still be around?

[ganeshmoorthy]

ofcourse, but we want you to be Mod

[Valleysboy1978]

Do we?
Personally I would prefer the VB Yoda to actually have a Yoda avatar! What happened to Yoda!?!

[penagate]

Reincarnated has Yoda been, as the Core 2 Extreme Edition. Teh force is strong within him.

Or something.
