I think it is very useful to decide if there are any problems with the X2 or not. It should be the purpose of this board to highlight any issues so that they can have workarounds developed and eventually be addressed and fixed. Also It really helps the whole community by informing them...

I like a bit of Computer gaming as well as the odd email letter and work using Office (excel and word). The old P4 2.4 Dell is looking long in the tooth, especially when playing Doom 3 etc So its time for a bit of an upgrade. Rambus memory is uneconomic to upgrade. So its time to buy a...
