Erm... coming to this as an AMD user, and fan, I have to say: "Fraid not." http://www17.tomshardware.com/cpu/20030217/cpu_charts-21.html#benchmarks_under_windows_xp

Well, if you're talking about Prescott - it's looking like it'll be a nice little chip. 1 MB L2 cache, 800Mhz bus, enhanced hyperthreading ability to possibly scale to 4-5Ghz. It's still just a standard x86 processor that uses existing OSes and all that though. Still, Intel's gotten back into the position of making AMD play one heck of a job of catch up.

Agreed Jam. I've had nothing but good luck with NAV. Heck - I've never had a problem with any of the Norton's utilities actually. I love my copy of Systemworks. I'd cry if I couldn't use speeddisk and had to go back to using MS' defrag (which doesn't do /nearly/ as well on an NTFS volume as Norton!)

Quoth the Feline: "feline offers to hide you feline considers asking why you dont want elf to see you are posting here perhaps this is due to one of those things that go on outside of the chocolate planet?" Oooh, hiding is good! But - I saw a few posts later that Elfkura already spotted me - so, any hiding would be moot? So, I'll just offer scritches and not that it's because I told the Elf that I'm never seen on /any/ 'Marathon' threads! ^_^ I also think I need

Heh - so I went and looked - all of my dictionaries show both. It may even be a regional thing in the US - but generally, throughout my life, 'cipher' has been considered 'wrong'. Though both 'gray' and 'grey' are perfectly acceptable. And to be honest - before you mentioned it, I couldn't have even told you which was the US english spelling, and which one wasn't. We were taught in school that both were equals. Much like 'ax' and 'axe'.

As they've said, yes. You -can- generally write a personal cheque out for foreign currency (I've written US cheques in Canadian dollars and UK Pounds before,) but it's sometimes a hassle. Your best bet is to get your bank to draw up a money order or cashier's cheque, or whatever they'd want to do. ^_^

Reply to Too many problems it sounds like... in WinCustomize Talk WinCustomize Forums

That -is- the problem with forums like this, or the Stardock newsgroups. They -are- where people who are having problems go, after all! So, naturally, you get to see all of the nasty horror stories and problems, and they seem like they outnumber the few good stories that you hear. More than any other Stardock programs, I use Windowblinds (have been since like, version 1.x or something - though only as a registered user for the past year or so?) CursorXP and IconPackager.
