Got Vista today. Was bored at work so i rang one of my clients and asked him to put one aside for me.

I just went with home premium as it has the features that i want. And was a good price.

Seems pretty good to me, using it right now.

On annoying thing is when my computer boots it comes to a multiboot screen with two options.

1. Older windows install (or something to that effect)

2. Windows Vista

But the hdd i installed vista on was a clean install, with a format and a deletion of the existing partition.

And my secondary drive is just full of my donwloads, mp3's, videos, etc, etc

Anyone know of an easy way to get rid of this? It's not exactly a problem but still irritates me none the less.

Properties of my computer > advanced system settings > startup and recovery settings

Pick the default option (vista) and untick the time to display list, or reduce the time to like 2-3 seconds.

I must admit I like the Vista 64bit Ultimate (ebay 4tehwinha)

just got to remember to run things in administrator mode

ie Logitech Setpoint, teamspeak, bf2, and have to tick my mic boost everytime I load up ;)

yeah still on XP Krastler

i was going to upgrade my whole PC i sold it to my son dirt cheap so was really a gift but spent the money on coilovers ;) which im well happy with

lucky for me i didnt upgrade cause everything has had a huge price drop

I want to do a full upgrade end of the year.

I'll wait till AMD launch there desktop quad core cpu's. And also wait till the next gen of nvidia cards our out.

I could certainly use another gig of ram in the pc now using vista.

Need some help with my computer it's a HP pavilion a1060 bout 15 months old now and i think i got a virus while downloading music from limwire. It froze and ever since that it comes up with sytem error on start up. Iv put the HP system recovery disk in and all good till it gets to 92% and comes up with Error copying file. Iv then got a nother recovery disk from HP and its doing the same thing any idea whats wrong.

cheers

nooo.. hp good, user bad!!! =P

nfi, unable to copy files during windows setup could also mean a critical peice of HW is faulty.... first thing i would look at is ram, then optical drive, HDD, then mobo then cpu... if it still fails after you have tested all those, including the cables they connect to MB with (for the drives)... then you have yourself a BIG problem

btw, let this be a lesson to you all!!! Limewire brakes PCs, DONT use it... EVER!!!! RARARARARARA!!! and dont use zone alarm, thats even worse!

    • Got the motor out and torn down. I'll be dropping off the block Monday. Luckily the scoring on Cyl6 is much less pronounced then the pictures made it out to seem. It can barely be felt. If you pass your finger over it 10x you'll barely notice it. Hopefully by some chance it will only require a honing. I'm not in the mood to buy one size larger pistons or another block. Oddly enough my 6th cylinder with the scoring has extremely clean intake valves compared to my other 5 cylinders. I'm worried the scoring was caused by too much fuel or Water/Methanol washing the cylinder. I'll review some old logs to confirm.  This was also the first time I pull an engine with the transmission still attached. It went much better then expected. I was worried my CD009 wouldn't make it easy due to its sheer size but it was much easier this way. 
    • From the pictures I have when doing the job the flywheel is the same diameter, I don't think they're playing weird tricks like putting weights at the outer diameter to increase flywheel inertia or anything like that. The OEM flywheel is definitely heavier, but it's not a huge difference. Quoted weight savings of the clutch is 2 kg so I can't imagine the flywheel being lighter than ~7 kg. Kind of regret not weighing it before the clutch went into the car but as far as driveability goes I have no complaints.
    • HKS trigger kit should be very easy to integrate with a Link. It's a 36-2 crank trigger. Hard part is finding the motivation to take off the timing belt and everything on the front of the engine to install it. You also need to cut out a hole in the oil pump housing so the sensor can read the trigger wheel. Changing out the cam sensor for a 24 tooth setup is probably good enough but as others have mentioned depending on what underlying assumptions are changed it becomes more of a problem. Reading the crank state off of the cam is an abstraction that works in the general case, but if you have an edge case it makes less and less sense. There is a GTX2860 gen 2 that can take a compact 5 bolt housing so it's direct bolt on but I'm not 100% sure of what's involved. Peak compressor efficiency drops off a bit on these turbos vs -5s, 77% vs 73% but you get way, way wider region of operation. The -5s have a really strange surge line in their compressor map that is all over the place. If you think the hot side on the -5s aren't open enough you can try the Tomei T550B turbos which a local tuner seems to be happy with:
