Great Episode! I love the PC building ones!

Also its great to see Patrick try to break something on Tekzilla, reminds me of time's past, although I don't think Veronica is used to it yet!

It would have been priceless if Patrick had opened the case after he beat it and threw it around and pulled out an HP netbook and, at least for a few seconds, the lovely and talented Bearonica thought it was hers.

And Pat, thanks for the recommendation on a video card. I need to upgrade a system but am not a gamer either, and I wasn't sure what the best values were. I'll be picking up an HD4770 on my next pilgrimage to Fry's.

I'm very anit-awesome-looking-cases just because they can be very expensive and don't add anything to the computer I would rather buy a super cheap case and spend the difference on RAM or better parts.
I shall be building a new PC (for me soon), although I always find when I build them they end up cheaper than Tekzzila's, I built my family a super-gaming-PC for £250 (would cost the same in $ because of price of parts), it wasn't great but it does everything it's needed to.
I never pay much atention to the looks of a computer, probably because no one apart from me sees mind, I did have KDE (a nice looking GUI) installed but I got rid of it for something more lightwieght as I relised I had no one to show the computer looks off to, not saying I don't have friends just that I don't spend all my time with them showing of my computer.

We liked the professional lool and dress of this episode. We like that the hosts are very amimated in their presentation. Though I do hope that Pat may consider getting advice on anger management. We like the fact that the hosts tried to control the use of expletives (excepting near the end). We like the fact it did not take the whole episode to put a puter together. There was plenty of content. We like the fact that there were detailed show notes.

We respect the Veronica may not be ready to use linux, The linux on the hp nettop was a poor example. The whole linux community was up in arms about that device. We wish she could see some real linux systems. I remember when she would only use Apple computers. It is just a matter of time before she expands her techiness horizons again. I do hope people do not have to pay an arm and a leg for w7. Just using a $300 device just to do web browsing in slow motion is a shame.

Intel plans to drop at least two of the i7 processors, so caveat emptor. That makes me leary about getting a newer system. That is especially true with the fine Intel was just handed by the EU, We have no problem still using our older equipment with the operating systems we have. I did buy a used two dollar socket 478 motheroard and a ten dollar p4 cpu to upgrade my desktop. Works quite well with linux. It worked wihout even having to reinstal linux on the drive that was used from the old amd cpu that died. By the way, W7 would not even install on the new drive I planned to use.

Anyway, we did save this episode.

Why are you talking about your selves in plural?
Don't you mean 'I' or is it a joint account?
Or are you just being crazy?

Vista have very simple tool for Disk Part. Diskmgmt.msc you just shrink volume restart and install W7 over there and thats it...simple as that.

Hardware is fast enough, Core I7 is fast but 300$ its a bit high you can get E8600 with half the price and the same preformance...or go for AMD Phenom II 4x cores if you are coder maniac.

64bit use it with what WinRar is now 64bit mybe some hardware diag like HWMonitor from CPUID thats it mybe some decoding/encoding stuff and thats it...

Hardware this days its in a stall like it was back in the day of first Pentium era.
