| 393808 | 2005-10-12 07:06:00 | I had a friend try and tell me the first thing he did when he bought a new P4 was upgrade it to 256bit, but that you couldnt do it with AMD CPU's. Sadly, he was dead serious :( |

| 393809 | 2005-11-08 07:11:00 | I am tyrone geek of all geeks. after all, my password is so obvious that anyone could log in as me and you stuf dats not true! Cya @ skool Tyrone ;) :nerd: Windows Vista / Windows Code Name Longhorn I arrived home from work with the treasured prize in my hands, the much sought after Windows Vista beta Version 1. I inserted the DVD into my computer and rebooted and sure enough there it was, the Windows Vista Install Screen. I followed the directions that it gave me, entering my liscence code and telling the installer to install it to my E: drive and then went and watched TV for about an hour and a half. I loaded it on and realises that it wasnt gonna work with my screen (well not yet anyway) so I booted into safe mode and there it was windows vista in the horrid windows classic theme. I installed my dirvers and then booted back into vista (not in safe mode) and at last the prize had come, the grandest of windows'es windows vista. img26.imageshack.us The Start Menu Has not gone through much of a graphical change but it certainly functions better and such features as the program lookup to load your favourite programs by keywords make a huge difference in both useability and geek-appeal. Internet Exporer 7 Was interesting too, and i am no longer sure if i need firefox! Internet Explorer 7 has caught up with all the features of fire fox and gone even further in graphical appeal. The theme of Vista is pretty and has finnaly done away with the “green lollipop” start button of XP and made a nicer one :P. img26.imageshack.us Exporer has had a revamp with all manner of pretty colours and other such prettiness but still hasnt changed much at all except becoming a tad more tricky to use! Windows Media Player 10 is nice and all and its features are cool but I still think tat there is room for improvemnt on themes that fit in with longhorn. Graphically Longhorn is a Lot nicer and There is a Heck of a Lot of Nice Features too. Graphics: 9.5/10 Funtionality: 8/10 Compatability 7/10 (Oh well maybe i might find a nice replacemtnt for office) Geek-Appeal: 10.5/10 (WHOA) Overall: 9.8/10 Download: msdn.microsoft.com (MSDN subscibers only) For More Info Private Message Me.
