The other screenshot I posted was of Talisman2 and I didn't really need the interface it provided, so I got Windowblinds5 and abt 30 themes to choose from, with no adaware to remove from theme packs. Latest desktop: Hitman 2 http://img382.imageshack.us/img382/1662/wb5desktop2su.jpg

Post your desktop.

I had StyleXP and had no problems with it, but I was tired of removing Accoona Toolbar installers and NewDot.net adware from their dnld themes... I then tried Windowblinds, but had issues with the taskbar not turning 3D. All other windows would, but... Anyhootz, now I have Talisman2 (active...

Nvidia 81x Drivers

With dual core CPU, I found the 83.40's (WHQL) work well for me. They also dropped my core temps 2'C @ idle. http://downloads.guru3d.com/download.php?id=10

AGP6600GT vs AGP6800GS/AGP7800GS

With this possibly being the last AGP card to be issued, if you're gonna spend any cash on another card, w/o going PCIe, might as well get the best there is, and save your cash for a Mobo/Gfx card next time. With the lower core speed of the 7800GS, it falls somewhere between a 6800GT and an...

Fastest AGP card?

Ditto, Above. . . http://www.guru3d.com/article/Videocards/319/ I can't see the worth in me upgrading(?) to the 7800GS, so I'll wait to replace Mobo / Gfx at once, and go PCIe.

Do "Registry Fixers" hurt more than they help?

I use CCleaner two to three times a day and RegSeeker once a week, for the last 2 years with not one issue. Seems that if you know what it's cleaning and can recognize an entry that may be needed helps. Both of these also have backup capabilities, so I don't see why everyone hates 'em so much.

You can install the IE View extension in FF, and set certain pages to load IE from within FF. https://addons.mozilla.org/extensions/moreinfo.php?id=35&application=firefox

Microsoft's Dual Core hotfix is driving me nuts! Paypal to someone to help me..

Ok, I ran for awhile w/o the hotfix, and dealt with setting affinity to certain games that required it. So I broke down and installed the "hotfix" from MS, and now, my CS:S steadily crashes the whole PC, no matter which core or both I set it to run on. before, w/o HF, I could set affinity and...

Paint.NET

Paint.net does save as .tga, but that's not how to "totally" make an animated image for CS:S. When Paint.net says it's a ."paint.net" image, it's still a .tga, just labeled differently, don't worry there. .tga files used in CS:S are the transparent background sprays. You must create different...

Best FireFox Extension?

NoScript, AdBlock Plus, Guru3D Quick Navigate, TabBrowser Extensions, TabPreView I love the control over what is displayed when and if I allow it. I'm always at Guru3D forums, and that thing saves a lot of time and clicks. http://ted.mielczarek.org/code/mozilla/tabpreview/

I'm OC'd to 2.48GHz, and max temp (2xP95's) 52'C, amb. (case) max 41'C, which isn't worth $50 over stock kooling.

X2 4400+ | Should I get a Zalman?

Since I run the Zalman 7 series, I can attest that it doesn't kool much better than the stock heatpipe HS/F, so if ya gonna spend any $, go for the 9500. I already had the 7 series from earlier CPU, and it only koolz abt 4-5 C' under stock at max loads.
