    It'll run, but it'll swap like crazy.
    Make sure you turn off all visual elements (right-click on my computer, hit properties, advanced -> settings -> turn everything off)

    Didnt have any probs installing. I do have a 6gb disk, it would be pretty tight on a 4gb.
    You probably need more memory too, right now with nothing running the commit charge is ~80MB, so even 64 -> 96 would make the difference between having to swap or not.

    I run windows XP on a p5mmx-233 laptop with 96M of ram.
    It runs rock solid, and quite snappy too.
    I used to run win2k but the wireless support in winxp makes the upgrade worth it.

  4. Re:How did this get modded up so high? on Apple Rejects RealNetwork's Pleas · · Score: 1

    I only count 49 listed on that page that support WMA+DRM.
    Presumably the other 450+ don't support DRM? Also read the fine print at the bottom: not all songs you purchase can be transferred to a device. but at least you have a choce in what device you can't transfer it to.

  6. Re:Which Language on No EZ Fix For The IRS · · Score: 1

    'cause if you accidently say (733043 = UID) its a compile error (easily checked), whereas if you say (UID = 733043) it'll compile just fine but harder to track down when it causes a problem.

  8. Re:Codec cracking on AAC Chosen For DVD-ROM Section Of DVD Audio Discs · · Score: 1

    Indirectly, yes.
    If they require "Secure audio path", then it will only talk to (off the top of my head) a signed driver, analog 2channel 44khz/16bit audio out. (not 100% sure on the 44/16/2ch part)
    So you cant make a dummy driver if its not signed, you cant take the SPDIF or TOSLink out from your sound card that does have signed drivers, etc etc.

  9. Re:IPv6 on New Nano-ITX Boards Shown At Cebit · · Score: 1

    Just because it isn't in the public address space doesnt mean that it would be accessable. Using NAT where everyone has the same "private" address range is just plain evil. With real firewalls and not the dumb "router/firewall" you get for $20 at frys, everyone could have a "public" unique address for every device in the house, and still be protected against hackers etc in the same way you are now with NAT.

    At that point, a new body, with a restored backup of you is going to pretty much be you, minus a little bit of experience.
