lol, yes indeed. the phones are cool and I like being able to use one to turn down the volume on the stereo etc. while I do like the sound the speakers make and the lossles transfer of music from CD to the beosound5 HD is cool I do think we'd be 90% as happy with the bose system or even a pieced together sonos based system. I guess the upside of the BO stuff will show in 30years time when the loudspeakers are still worth $$$ and still as good as anything else out. plus they do look a bit like the daleks from doctor who which I do enjoy...

I know Windows XP x64 was terrible, however since Vista x64 all of the compatibility issues have been solved imho. Sure you need x64 drivers, but 64-bit drivers are abundant now with new hardware and commonly used hardware.

Windows XP x64 was a mock up by Microsoft, Vista x64 was an operating system designed to be 64-bit.

Ive been tryin to get my hands on a copy of win XP 64x ultimate for some time. It seems it was a limited release and has been used in servers (so far ive read), what exactly is so bad about it?

So it took a year and a half (probably more because I was thinking about it for some time before I started this thread) but I've finally got it.

Big props to DivHunter for all his help and knowledge in building it.

Also to Titan for all his help and all the others who have posted with information, and experience.

I'll post some specs another time when I get a chance
