Re:

Thanks very much for the suggestions. I don't think I'll be replacing my CD Drive yet though. I just installed a back-up utility and I think it imaged my CD Drive somehow... :/ I've also come to believe that it's attempting to image non-existent floppies in that drive, too. I've also got a DVD Driv...

Even if Interplay did return, would any of the original programmers? Or would Interplay hire new peeps and the \"new Descent\" game wouldn't have the same feel to it. I'd love to have a \"classic\" feel if there ever was another D sequel.

Not holding my breath on this one.

Be considered an improvement over this:

(The CPU in the system now is actually a 3700+ Venice. Couldn't find that, so 3800 was just a notch up.)

MSI K8N Neo4 Platinum . Support for Athlon64 X2's?

I have checked the manufacturere's web site and it just says \"Athlon X2 Ready\"

It is a Socket 939 board. Was hoping someone was familiar with that architecture and could answer my question. :) Looking to upgrade from a 3700+ to a Dual Core Proc or similar speed.

Thanks!

wow, as if vista's boot up wasn't slow enough already.
Could be just the machine I'm running it on:

IBM T60 Laptop
Core Duo 1.83GHz
2GB PC2 5300 RAM
60GB 5400 RPM SATA Drive

Either way I enjoy using it at work, but it's nice to still run XP at home. :)

I use it at work, it's OK for office work. I've been using SP1 for a few weeks now, it seemed to slow down boot time a bit, but file transfer speeds are not as bad as they were.

At home I run XP. Probably will for a looooooong time.
