thing is, you're not registering it, you're 'activating' it so it doesn't stop working after so many days. You are also given the option to register it while installing, in addition to activating.
for WinXP it is NOT based *just* on your mac address, they look at pretty much all your hardware and fingerprint the whole system based on everything you have in there. I don't know what gave you this idea.
Throw these two technologies into one product and you'll finally have an awesome board. I like everything about nvidia's current flagship chipset except their fsaa pales in comparison to 3dfx's. In fact it was a big enough difference for me to endure the speed hit and get a v5 5500. I was actually holding off for the v5 6000 because I didn't feel the 5500 had the fillrate to make fsaa truly usable, and since the 6000 was killed I caved and got a 5500 anyways. And I turned out to be right, the 5500 doesn't quite have the fillrate/bandwidth for what I personally feel is good performance when fsaa is on. The 6000 would've filled the bill though I think. Too bad. Oh well. I hope nvidia does the smart thing and incorporates 3dfx's fsaa method into one of their future products.

heh, this 'crack' was for an earlier version of the XP beta that didn't even have the activation code turned on yet

uh, when's the last time you saw a helium tank floating around as they filled balloons from it?
