Finally, a real 'svchost.exe' fix
For those of you who've suffered from svchost.exe, which is used by
Microsoft Update, going wild and taking 100% of your workstation's CPU
resources, help is at hand.
Redmond plans to offer up some long-awaited patches

Speaking of, I don't get his mail anymore. I wonder what happened
there. I don't recall him pushing Dell or that ilk, so I wouldn't have
chewed his ass...

It's not really a real fix. The problem is lessened, but it doesn't
go away. The only real fix is to switch back to Windows Update from
Microsoft Update. Better than
disable is best, manual run better IMO
not all updates are good

Pretty pitiful. Also the higher end 1GB part, the XTX, appears to be
scrapped until way later to avoid further embarrassment.
Not to stick up for the red, but the 8600 and 8500 kind of

Heh. For that matter, doesn't nVIDIA need to fix their drivers?

XP and Vista just yet,

with their pants down.

Nvidia's sli drivers are just finally becoming functional. But for a long time
TOTAL crap. They aren't alone, X-fi cards are totally worthless in Vista, etc

Interesting, because I was looking at Halo 2 for PC -- which was just
released Tuesday -- as the first PC game worth upgrading my XP to Vista.
But the more I hear stuff like this (I have the X-Fi card), the more nervous
I get about upgrading to Vista which sucks for gamers. Also, I wonder how

Also, any of Scott Sigler's audiobooks rock. His stuff is more of a
horror/sci-fi in line with Alien than pure sci-fi but still really
good. His voice performance on his older stuff was a little rough in
the beginning but got really good in the last one, The Rookie. The

I have been contemplating a system upgrade of my AMD64 3700+ system. I know
the socket 939 is really at the end of its life, but I hate throwing out the
mb, cpu and memory to upgrade to the AM2 or core2 duo. The high end socket
939 chips have been disappearing. I ran across the Opteron 185, a
