Nvidia 56.64 and Java bug

Well my Java version is 1.4.2_03, the latest Java and I have a GeForce 4 Ti 4600 if that makes a difference. If I revert back to the previous Nvidia drivers it doesn't do that anymore.

how often do you format?

I reformat about once every six months to keep clean and fresh. I'm like a pro now I've done it so much, doesn't take me very long at all to get it all back the way I like it after formatting.

Win XP and Internet Explorer

Is there any way to change the cheesy look of the toolbar in the IE that comes with XP? It looks really childish. I am using the silver theme but the toolbar in XP is garbage, is there a way to make it look more like it did in Win 98 but keep the silver theme for XP?

What is the difference in DDR333 PC-2700-266Mhz and DDR PC-2100-266Mhz and why is the DDR333 PC-2700 selling for less money? I am buying a new PC and the option for DDR333 makes the PC less than choosing the PC-2100. I thought the PC-2700 was supposed to be superior?
