Personally I'd look at these sites
Barts PE CD and 911CD
They asist you in creating a recovery/util cd for win based systems, dos based utils and even small linux distro (Tomsrtbt). For just finding a good prog for testing hardware sisoft and aida are nice but search tucows nonags etc and you will find freeware progs that have tons of functionality and are not as bloated/intrusive as large name companies software (i.e Norton).

Ahhhhh Physics Class We were using a old PET for calculations data gathering etc. When we used the collected data on the, then, new macs we proved every theory wrong including gravity:) The best was the experiments they let me dig up and play with for demo. Our old physics prof warned us about them but he had retired before my senior year so I casually mentioned the equipment to the new prof and voila milikans cross experiments were performed. Of course the open CRT and X-ray emissions I neglected to mention till the prof noticed his filings tingling:)
Pisnaz BTW using a Proliant quad Pentium pro 200 with raid and occasionally fire up my old IBM PS/2. I just retired my older P133, and parents 486dx-33 is going soon.
First off this is old news. The original delay was due to the ruling in regards to JAVA. We have sp1a which if i recall correctly has no java then we will have sp1b with sun java installed then sp1c with ms java reenabled. The delay is for some reason attributed to the deployment of these interium patches and the subsequent requirement for sun java no java or ms java in SP2. That being said MS has released about 15 fixes since Jan But you must call them to get the patch @ $30 + a call and the risk it may not fix your problem. This is the Bigger annoyance they have patches and will not distribute them as per normal. Pisnaz
