***Uber System Poll 2.0***

[Rock Hydra]

It's been over a year, time to refresh the poll.

 

[Boyo]

I think someone just did a poll like this a few weeks ago.

 

[ViviTheMage]

done

 

[dBTelos]

That's a lot of questions.

 

[Rommel44]

It will be interesting to look at results 2 or 3 years later

Well, honestly...I had no intention to do anything with it. It's just out of curiosity. If someone else wants to do something with the data, well....then it's here. Just basically out of curiosity.

 

[bamacre]

I'd like to see a break out on the prebuilt desktops.

 

[SparkyJJO]

Nobody, somebody's cheating the poll like a Republican.

 

[The Boston Dangler]

The early numbers are pretty much what I would expect from the AT crowd. My case is not lit by choice, but i clicked "yes". I wanna see the box with 10+ fans!

 

[potato28]

I dont have a dual core processer now... but it's on its way...

 

[AirForceElite]

i am surpised to see so many people with floppy drivers
why would anybody use them, seriously?
any floppy info should have been transfered to CD long time ago.

why would anybody waste $20 and computer power for a floppy drive?

 

[jhh979s]

Floppy drives are like $5 and they are still useful for certain things like bios flashes for example.

Yeah i fyou want like a 70% chance of it failing. Use a Windows Based Flashing App from the HDD, must safer and easier. Floppy drives are pointless (You can just as easily use a USB Flash Drive or a Bootable CD for anything else)

where do you get this 70% chance from? i have never, knock on wood, had an issue with bios flashes from floppy and until the last couple of years you couldn't even do it from within windows.
