    Windows Vista to have 5 versions

    Just for sake of argument, there are going to be 32 Vista SKUs. 9 Client (x86 and x64) (18) 5 Server (x86/x64) (10) 1 IA64 Server (IA64) (1) 3 Support CDs (OPK/WDK/SDK) Everyone happy? :cool:

    Multisocket Opteron fans rejoice! 50% pricecut!

    It had to happen sooner or later, but yea, I feel cheated a bit. Oh well, goes with the territory. :(

    QUIET dually?

    My understanding is that Xeon's are the worst you can get if you're looking for low-noise. You can always go liquid-cooling and that should reduce most of your noise (get an Active PFC power supply.)

    SuperMicro H8DCE v1.1 Bios Update

    I'm guessing 1.1 is just a maintenance update - perhaps just SLI performance enhancements.

    SuperMicro H8DCE v1.1 Bios Update

    unhappy, it's a sweet mobo :cool: I'm only running 4GB right now, but I plan to upgrade to 8GB in the next couple of months. I'm just debating about running WS03 x64 Enterprise now. I think it'll give a significant performance bump than XP64.

    Vista + Laptop = Ugly

    Well, you didn't mention the brand of laptop nor the brand of the video chipset, so it'll be hard to help at all. I won't get your hopes up, however. Drivers are (generally) the last phase of OS development to be perfected, so you'll likely have to make-do with 1024x768 until a better driver...

    Possible Driver Problem (81.95)

    Why don't you try 81.98 since it's the released, WHQL-certified version. (Or try the 82.12 Beta drivers.) [Sorry, didn't realize thread was so old.]

    SuperMicro H8DCE v1.1 Bios Update

    http://www.supermicro.com/Aplus/support/resources/results.cfm I've updated my board and it's working fine. There are some obvious changes to the BIOS menus, but that's about it. Performance values haven't changed.

    SuperMicro H8DCE v1.1 Bios Update

    http://www.supermicro.com/Aplus/support/resources/results.cfm No list of changes, but BIOS upgrade worked for me.

    Problems with XP64

    Why not just install XP64 clean? If you do this, then I can help you better from there... Personally, I never upgrade an operating system, even if it's supported or not.

    Reason enough to upgrade to AMD X2?

    Yes, it's a huge difference in performance.

    Need some build help

    Yup, I'd have to agree. Go with an Athlon64 X2 (3.8) and you can build a decent system for around $500, depending on how "cheap" you want to go. (I'm referring to cheaper parts versus the higher quality, but more expensive parts.) With that, I don't know if you'll even need SLI. You may...

    Can't be any worse than HP! :p

    Buffer overrun on Macworld Expo 2006

    This happens on my Intel Xeon system (with XP32) at work. My Opteron (with XP64) doesn't like it I guess. I've sent mail to Apple on this... I may try uninstalling QT all-together and re-installing it. It's possible something didn't get updated correctly. BTW, movie trailers work just fine.
