    Losing HD space w/ Windows XP

    Thanks mechBgon, I will check that out today on my lunch. I have a hard time believing it will be huge or the long lost space I'm hoping for but at this point anything helps and i'm sure, since I didn't know about prefetching, that it will help a bit. Can anyone else think of where 5-7GB of...

    Just ordered it today. It was on sale for 25% off on the Home / Home Office portion along with free shipping. Now if only Dell could ship right away and I didn't have to wait a week before it ships from the warehouse.

    So I just checked MSI's website for my vid card and it states it can run 1920x1200, exaclty what you are running in that pic. The problem is that the Dell's max res is 1680x1050.
