I think WindowsXP looks lame

mdntblu

I think Windows XP looks lame. Like for children or something. I think they should have waited a while after Millennium came out to release another version. Just because one flops doesn't mean to release another one so soon.

INFERNO2000

Anyone else notice that when you install the 2k version of the drivers, that you lose the nvidia panel in the advanced properties(for the display)? I can't get into it to do anything I want to(overclock).

Dell processor upgrade

moray

Anyone know anything about upgrading the processor on a Dell Desktop machine? The Dell website says don't do it and come up with some lame excuse about their moBos being carefully balanced to support the components supplied.
