erm... guys... the man said, and I quote, "and i have 1.8Ghz and 1gig of memory." do you really think it matters what he runs in his taskbar? < Run enough stuff in the background and it will feel like a 400 mhz machine. You don't have an infinite no of clock cycles. Wonder if you can get more frame rates if the number of things in the taskbar were less. Won't even talk about some of the stuff that some apps add to check for updates, etc. Why don't the software companies write them so the utils check and shut themselves down afterwards. That said, sounds like a nice setup.
