My main box has a P45 Gigbyte UDP MB which currently has 4GB of OCZ
memory. I have another 4GB of generic memory that would be nice to add
to the system (I'm on Win7 64bit). Just wondering what the effects will
be of two sets of 4GB memory from different manufacturers. I suppose

I've noticed this 'problem' on both Vista and Win7. It seems like the
system puts it's file manager to sleep, so that if you try to do a disk
action, you get a substantial delay. For instance, I'll be playing a
game, then I jump to email, when I try to drag and drop, there is a

I'm looking for a free program that will read an MOV file and then allow
you to rotate the frames of the image by both 90 degrees and 180 degrees.
Anyone know of anything? This is a two shot deal, so I don't plan to
have this need for long. I have one video that I shot with the camera on
its
Yes. It is annoying.

annoying, the key is so small I need a magnifying glass to properly read it,

Are you using Photoshop or other serious memory use program? If not, you
might want to use that 4 GB's generic for something else. 8 Gigs is cool
but definitely overkill for normal PC's.

Yep, Vista and Win7 are both very hardrive intensive compared to XP.
Better pony up the dough and get a solid state drive with the barefoot
controller. LOL

Hard drives have been the major system bottleneck for most computer users
for years now. I'm surprised that it's taken this long for that fact to
settle in AND for companies to realize that's the future growth area.
Video cards? Eh...unless you are a freak you can get by. I play most new
games
With gaming it depends on the resolution you play at. With a 30 monitor
you're going to need some decent horsepower and even with my 24 there
are times I wish for something better than my 4850 (5850 coming up as
soon as price takes the 1st drop). I'm confused, you speak of an Intel
quad core
I bought a Q6600 for $250 in March 2008. I consider that to be a dirt cheap
price to get a processor that will meet my foreseeable needs for 3-4 years.
I bought a Radeon 4850 for $180 in Oct 2008 and it has suited me just fine.
The last game I played - Batman Arkham Asylum - ran very smooth.

I'm sure it's great but I went cold turkey on MMOs. With a toddler in the
house and another on the way I am strictly a single player, pause any time
sort of gamer now (not that I didn't enjoy my time with MUDs, DAOC, and
WoW).

Brian,
Thanks for the excellent report of your choices and use. I agree that
you do need the power you chose. For, me, I have had perfect service
from my trio of E8400 C2D's (now 1yr old) that run 24/7. Once I got all
the user-caused glitches worked out, these three procs now simply own
me! I
The recent Tomb Raider games (esp Legend) have been pretty darn good.

It's my first MMO. After all these years of playing games it took the
words Dungeons and Dragons and free to get me to try it. I still
play it in single player mode however. Someday I'll take the plunge and
join a social group. Probably get eaten alive by the kids in there. LOL

I didn't playing MMOs because they sucked, quite the opposite. I liked them
a bit TOO much, and I just don't have room in my current life for the time
commitment they require. i still have some very fond memories.
Running a guild in a MUD in college (Dragons, Legends and Lore) and spending
days
You're one of those kids that would probably eat me alive and I didn't
say that MMO's suck and heard that you're a new daddy. Congratulations
by the way. Child gets a little older: think of the MMO possibilities.
You know, after school and sports of course. :-)
