Thanks for that link. So much better than waiting for systeminfo to load everything.

Wow, I've never seen a computer with all zeroes for load. Have you thought about folding?
 
I believe my record was 8 weeks and I'm a heavy gamer who is on the computer two 3rds of the day.

Not bad for Windows. I update hardware more frequently then Windows crashing, always a good sign.
 
i never really understood why uptime for a personal computer was such a big deal. anyone care to fill me in? i mean, if you're not running a server of your own and just using it to play games and surf and stuff.
