This system is too loaded on the PCI bus (with a KT400) to be an overclocker, so as long as drivers are stable I'm happy.

I get a kick from a CLEAN install...ahh...its all so perfect for about 3 minutes...
...then you install something....
ye same Falcon, clean install owns. It reminds me every time of when I clean installed 95 on my old compaq for the first time getting rid of all the horrible compaq advertising, partitions and stuff like that

If you get a customer, or an employee, who thinks he's Charles Bronson, take the butt of your gun and smash their nose in.
I'm running pretty clean now - reinstalled windaz on Monday.
Got SP2 on it and AstonShell and Office - running nicely!

I jsut did a complete format today (everything, windows AND gentoo) 5/6 hours and still no crash...going strong...lol
the onyl problem is i gotta go through the labourious task to installing gentoo again...
I get a kick out of a fresh system too!
And this one is running beautifully still despite having been used for a fair while on the same install!!

I get a kick from the CPUs... lucky to be alive
full, clean install rocks. everyhings just so fast...for a few days
if it ain't broke...fix it till it is
you can keep your pc at super fast speeds..
Norton Systemworks is wicked for cleaning up crap, but there are free alternatives..
RegSeeker (cleans registry)
MRUBlaster (cleans 'most recently used' lists)
HDCleaner (very good program, does the job of many small programs)
Spybot S&D and Ad-aware (removing crap like spyware)
TuneXP (optimising XP for fast boot, shutdown and general fastness)
using all these will keep your system on top notch performance..
defrag often and you're sorted.
i have office 2003, xp pro, visio studio 2003.net (this installs a lot of 'unneeded' stuff, but performance isnt hit tbh)
my boottime is pretty darn fast, even with norton loading up on boot, disabling serial ports and parallel port speeded it up a fair ammount.
like, you're installing programs to stop the bad things that programs are doing.
Do it manually, only install what you need, get to know where all the temp folders are
This should actually read:Sorry, but I've had too many bad experiences with Norton stuff.Norton Systemworks is a wicked unclean piece of crap. Luckily there are free alternatives.
