[QUOTE="Amen-Moses, post: 147490, member: 114"] Oh WOW! XP-64 is fast, fast, fast and did I mention how fast it is! Compared to the standard XP-Home setup on the same machine it is like having a completely different computer .... it is even faster than my twin G5 with OSX! (by fast I mean snappiness of the GUI, i.e when I click on something there is none of that usual delay waiting for it to fill in the window, it just happens instantly) Unfortunately the install process is still mind numbingly slow, unlike the G5 which is usually just drag and drop and finished. One thing I don't really inderstand is whay Windoze of any flavour takes so long to format hard drives, when I installed a new 250Gb drive on my G5 it took about 20 seconds or so, this new beasty took over an hour and a half to format the 120Gb hard drive, wht the heck was it doing for all that time? Installing Far Cry now ... stay tuned. Amen-Moses [/QUOTE]
