The problem that I see isn't just Intel flexing their muscle, it's the fact that AMD hasn't been able to get away from using these licensing agreements with Intel. Does AMD plan on being tied with Intel forever or do they actually have some real R&D going to change their place in the industry?

So you're saying that this is an attempt by Microsoft to boost Vista 64 sales:p

You better be using a 64-bit OS with this thing, that's a lot of memory.

The only thing I use batch files for is to run commands for me that I would normally have to do manually. Here's one I use alot - netsh interface ip set address "Local Area Connection" dhcp If you can't tell, it sets your NIC to get a DHCP address.

I thought about this some more and I believe the driver issue will be the LSI controller for your hard drives. If your installer has an option to add a driver before installation, then find out exactly what hard drive controller you are using and try to find a Linux compatible driver for it...

Unless that CAT6 cable happens to be a crossover cable, I don't think that it will work. If you do happen to have a crossover, then only way I can think of using the LAN port between the two machines is to set a static IP on the LAN ports on both machines, then create a rule with a software...

1. Can you ping the other machines? 2. Have you tried to manually map a network share using UNC (ie //system/share)?

I think the results are pretty good considering the t2600 costs almost half as much as the fx-60.

this happened to me before. I heated up the heatsink with a blowdryer and a used a qtip with alcohol to dissolve some of the thermal paste. then i used my fingers to try and push around the processor till it came loose.
