On the other hand, a pirated OS will put your machine at enough risk to make other problems seem trivial. |

WGA puts your machine at enough risk that piracy is a lateral move. |
No pirate = no risk, it's just that simple.

You can Google for the rest, but please don't spread blatant falsehoods.

This is a fairly ignorant attitude. For starters: http://arstechnica.com/old/content/2007/01/8690.ars http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Windows...age#Criticisms You can Google for the rest, but please don't spread blatant falsehoods. _____ |
FAIRLY ignorant is comparing WGA potential problems with pirateware OS
potential problems. Dishonest is USING pirateware OS.

| Just go to NewEgg and see what they presently have... the last two motherboards I got from them were priced quite low and worked great. The only thing is, IDE is being phased out and if you find any boards that still have IDE... there may be only one channel...so you may be limited to just two IDE devices. Yeah, one IDE port would do. Are people still overclocking? I've OCed like 5 AMD systems easily. I always end up with pirated OSes even when I own it. Even if I waited and got a Dell with Win7 I'd probly use pirated. Tho I think they will be offering free upgrades soon. I haven't bought a PC since my first Dell in '94...lol. A P75 that I fianlly realized would run at 100MHz....zoom!. IP Daley |
As to using a pirated OS. I am keeping my XP and not going with the new MS
operating systems.
I now use Linux for about 95% of my work.

I used 8G of OCZ Gold DDR2-800 DIMMs, if I were doing it over I would have bought DDR2-1000 DIMMs or faster. The Gigabyte motherboard doesn't give you a lot of choices for DIMM speed. The DIMM speed is overclocked by the same ratio as the CPU which forced me to run my DIMMs at 1GHz rather than their rated speed. I got lucky with the OCZs and the system is stable but if I had known about the limitations in the Gigabyte BIOS I would have picked faster RAM. http://www.newegg.com/Product/Produc...82E16813128358 |
available by pressing <Ctrl> + F1, right? Actually, one of the existing menus
changes, it might be the M.I.T.
