you don't need caching. Core 2 Duo E6700, 2GB DDR2 800 (upgrading to 1066 when cache, oops, I mean cash allows), 3x320GB SATA II Raid 0, 256MB GeForce 7600GS, etc., etc. Damn, now Microslop wants to control what goes up into your ram and when, f**k that. Microslop peaked with 2k, XPoopoo is to 2k what Me was to 98. As a matter of fact, the Windhose partition on this machine is 2k sp4, have an XPoopoo 'Home' disk but nobody wants to buy it for a fair price so it just sits and collects dust, ran like sh*t on this machine. I don't have time for buggy and I don't have time for superbloat, are they going insane at Microslop? How come I can boot Sabayon Linux 3.26 live DVD and get the nVidia driver, acceleration and Beryl right out of the box and not have the insane bloat and ram hogging of Vista. Bottom line, if your computer can support 4GB of ram, it's plenty fast enough to execute programs when they are required and not before. Microslop screwed up again, they wrote some more superbloat before people are actually ready to go out and spend another 2 or 3 grand on something that can actually run Vista. My machine was NOT cheap, the average Windhose droid doesn't buy high end, guess they will just shut off all the bloat candy, no, wait, Vista does that for them. Apparently even my video card is not good enough for the 'Ultimate' version. I gotta go out and spend another $300 to run 'Ultimate'? Not likely, I don't even like XPoopoo. >:-l
