Windows Experience rating:


System info (the amount of RAM it shows for my system is incorrect, it is actually 1 GB):


That beats out my laptop... I get a 2.7 for the Windows Experience Index.



About the RAM amount. You mentioned it has onboard graphics...that's most likely the reason why it doesn't list a full 1 GB RAM.

A question for Vista users: how do you disable the annoying UAC (User Account Control)? It gets annoying seeing that message pop up every time I try to do something. <_<
Control Panel > User Accounts > Turn User Account Control on or off.

My laptop arrived today. :dance: It's all set up now - in fact, I'm typing this message with it. :) It's a tad bit heavier than I expected, but still, it's VERY nice. Vista is just absolutely awesome, too. :D I haven't gotten to do much on this laptop yet, but still so far Vista is amazing. 8)
Cool. Got any pictures of your new laptop?  8)

what's so special about that area? It's not like people reveal their personal information in that forum.
In case you don't know, the forum is for the beta testers and developers of the emulator. It says it right in the description of the forum. :rolleyes:  :poke:

Now, let's get this back on topic...

I wonder why Gil's YouTube account has been closed...?  :huh: http://youtube.com/profile?user=intellistar

I think one reason may be that he's lost nearly all his interest in TWC.


What would that have to do with closing his youtube thread.  unless all he did was post TWC stuff (which he probably did?)


Yes, that's ALL he posted. :yes:

I remember he had posted some videos of tornado siren tests, too.

LOL, what, like maybe 2 or 3 out of the 60 or 70 videos he posted?  :D
