Errr.. has nothing to do with DRM but everything to OS/program protection. Every application should be written to behave that way. Remember the days of w95/98, early w2k/XP when drivers, apps and games would BSOD because they would try to use memory already in use by the OS or another app. And...

Mine arrived Friday and wonders of wonders no UPS fees. Not sure why some of us Canadians are getting charged fees and others aren't. Now I have it I don't feel like installing it, such a hassle to reinstall everything.

My beef besides having not got my disk yet is... for canadians that bought OEM, the price moduslink quotes for shipping on the website is a sham. What they don't tell you is it ships UPS. So we pay $27.50 or so to moduslink for shipping and handling and when UPS comes to the door with your disk...

My so much funage here. <G> Mmmmm there's no standalone WMP 11 for vista, it's already in there. Trying to load XP's WMP 11 over top will fail. Hmmmm, Vista is just good ol' NT.... well yes and no, it's actually built from Server 2003 plus some new code. I love teh statement "compatibility...

I'm with randsom on this... I'm getting totally pissed at moduslink's continual forkups. Been coa/pop for weeks and finally get email saying I've passed all validation and they'll email when it ships and to check their site for status. Well, my status changed all right. I'ts now "order recieved"...

Knowing Best Buy and GeekSquad I'd suspect their UPS is made by the cheapest cost cutting lowest bid outfit they could find.

Runs fine for me. I haven't used XP since Vista RC1. The only real drawback I can see is for gamers and the hardware companies that are to lazy to write proper working drivers and the game houses that don't seem to be bothered to write patches for non-working games until it's released to the...

Let me guess... nforce4 nvidia lan. Seems many of us are in the same boat. Internet is fine until you dl a torrent, then it's reboot to get internet back. Oddly enough, I have no problems with torrents using RC1 (which i'm back to just for that reason). Hopefully Nvidia will get off thier asses...

I have the 50EF and it came with a cable that had since been replaced with a newer one since some had problems with spontaneous restarts with the old cable. I also dealt with Joel and within days I got a new cable in the mail. In fact they sent me 2. lol Great service.

And maybe the capacitors HAVE aged over time and they won't do their job when it goes "POP" and you'll get to see what a fried X2 and mobo look like. ;p

I've never seen a poor psu be rock solid in SW let alone by DMM and I did return the Trio. The Silverstone if a far superior unit IMHO.

Well I wasn't impressed with my Trio 550. Yes before you call me a n00b I know you need a DMM to properly judge but even with software monitoring, a good PSU should be rock solid on vcore and rails. The Trio couldn't even match my old Truepower 480 in that respect. So, i'm now the proud owner of...

Going by software which is why I hope we see a pro review soon.

I was going to wait a day but I've seen enough. lol Price: $119 Cdn ($89 would be more like it IMHO) Build: could be better. Weighs around the same as my TP 480 give a few grams -/+. The Good: It didn't blow up when I turned it on. Very quiet and doesn't get near as hot as my TP 480...

Ok, I'll leave it on the UPS. thanks!
