Welcome to Tekzilla... hands on reviews of the latest tech, and how to make the most out of the gear you already own!
Keep your gear safe during gnarly travel? Pelican Cases: You can beat on 'em, but your gear will ride softly in these super tough custom padded boxes. Otterboxes work great, too!
CanJam 2009, HeadFi's Head-Fi.org's annual gathering for headphone enthusiasts and the Makre Faire are both May 30th and 31st... Patrick's hitting CanJam in LA on Saturday and the Faire on Sunday, Veronica will be at Maker Faire in San Mateo, only.

Windows 7 RC 1 is Nagware??? Staring around May 31st, 2010, yes, it will be.
Dual Boot Windows 7 RC1 and XP. Not to worry, Charles, it's easy! There's just one thing we need you to download first: GParted. (Vista users don't even have to do that!)
It's a good idea to back up your data before upgrading or installnig any new OS... or, better yet, image your entire drive first so that if things go desperately wrong, you can re-start right where you left off.
Systm shows you the fast and free way to create a disk image in Cheap and Easy Hard Drive Upgrade, or go whole hog and create a custom rescue and recovery disk instead. Some of our fave tools for this include Easeus Disk-Copy, Macrium Reflect Free, FOG, Clonezilla!
This would also be a good time to download and run Microsoft's "Windows 7 Upgrade Adviser" to see how MS thinks your system stacks up to Windows 7. http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/details.aspx?displaylang=en&FamilyID=1b544e90-7659-4bd9-9e51-2497c146af15

SanDisk makes kick ass memory. The Sansa MP3 players have been fine. But slotRadio and > slotMusic? Patrick and Veronica debate their (probably short) future, and Patrick passes on SanDisk's slotRadio Player.

Because he's not streaming them... both have caps on file sizes you need to watch out for, especially if you've got big long HD Videos!

" So (%expletive) case is the reinforced plastic case filled with foam to custom into every."
" Really cool thing about it."
" There wasn't a computer in -- there. The best part of my computer was it now okay them -- the -- things the things that computer."
" Won't work just fine when we open the case which is why -- pelican cases and otter box -- to like pelican cases. We just had to be able smaller."

And the maker -- are both on may thirtieth and 31 in the same area. Can't -- been in Los Angeles all the kids. Late you know what I figured out under the flight if we can't give Friday night you can jam on Friday fly back Saturday night shouldn't be hit him on Saturday -- next Saturday night and then that taken my -- the maker --"
" I would I was gonna maker Faire and I haven't missed a maker Faire and San Francisco in years sauces but. Dickensian sounds really fun that's too far I can't I can't all the traveling in one definitely -- say hey thank you cripple the time it's true. Day trip traveling linkages it's too tiring. To my have to do it I don't want to do it."
" I will bring back the report from can I rumor has -- you headphones to do some interesting stuff about it when it fired designs. You remember that you we amplifiers yes those were actually at Bible with the people that for example in any case. And -- right now it's completely slaughtered."
" Don't worry about that they're not really listening -- paying attention are banks. Well actually I. It's great answer is located wise in the head by. Are awesome forums for people who were into listening with cans headphones. Excellent so make thirtieth this canned him in May 31 his maker -- actually both are running above them both to they see you today innings -- the -- on top of each other are typically understands. While before we fire up the first question let's talk about an annoying aspect of windows seven RC one. It expires June 1 plane tend to freeze your use. Add up but in Chile is hurting march 1 twenty tenure PC will shut down every two hours -- I noticed two weeks before that it says it's time to real copy of windows seven or go back to Vista or XP so. Should have plenty of warning we got a few emails about this one people being like. It's gonna -- on -- two hours and Gizmodo -- a whole big thing up about things like that where from hell -- real -- to shut it down. The OS and a few hours is that it's that. Those precious two hours of life I you know how long does that -- can turn to you just have to keep rebooting in and you get used different of the two hours to. I want how it works and he didn't want it it's the clock and see if that -- it's art that's clever clever way of testing that you have I have not kept up. Speaking of windows seven our first question of the day comes from olds who writes can you show the dual boot windows XP pro 32 bit and windows seven RC 160 Ford that char house. Absolutely you've got you've got and a -- there."
" We actually have mr. James legendary test to fuel the Sony -- that has been suffering or any machine -- dusty here is -- my sweater. Eric how hot I am disgusted with the -- your computer and your sweater. First step what is always the first step for upgrading your operating system back up yeah. I -- yes. At the very least your most important miles the financial data you're doctoral thesis your homework you'll -- able to our bookmarks people forget bookmarks all the time. Passwords if you exceed more particular occasion. So if things -- desperately wrong could be better yet just give it the entire drive so that if things that desperately wrong you've it is. Restart -- that way yet and -- actually. Image your drive for four read if you get external drive back data up to to tablet Mac you reflect were easy guess the name might have difficulties and a either -- it's free and we've got links in the show notes the systm episode where Roger's -- you have to use them. They are awesome tools they are free tools you should use them. This is also -- Time -- knowing where you -- for this to download run Microsoft windows seven upgrade advisor that's -- it basically tell you what Microsoft thinks of your system and whether that it's ready to run windows seven."
" That's good things they give you -- little heads up its system it's not up to tap root for your life. This is. -- and you actually running it on. See that's the tiny atom powered piece I've got to -- HP mini 1000. When you -- program. Yeah what the 120. I can't remember the top -- now and it's got -- sixty gigabyte solid state drive. Printer respectively well I mean it's not I haven't had any trouble with going to use it every day there's like my my living room does he mean when the announcement here bull crap yet but. It. -- a a it scared me for a second. It looks okay it looks -- I I don't do it client on in a pretty much as web browsing editing video and I'll miss her plane could that I wouldn't put it past -- try that casinos as well. It'll probably final cut on it is Macintosh. -- a fire the second that. -- the second step is to download and break the ice so that the 64 bit version. The windows seven RC want to -- and a liar at a download a copy of cheap part of life CD and bring it to disk. -- Vista users have the ability to resize partitions since Vista or they can use cheaper and."
" Third step shrink your existing XP partition by at least sixteen gigabytes that's the minimum recommended partition size when the seventh. Bigger would be better -- you're gonna created new NT FS partition in that space. And apply your changes it would get fancy you know you you're especially Vista gets the tools inside of this to you you move everything down with your disk managers of the united this he didn't. If you like play around -- write letters. Gold dots. Fourth step insert your windows seven assault dvd and reboot. What we've got this puppy right here. Credit account yes. And -- course assuming you've been able boot from dvd -- your system bios and finished the windows and install."
" Well yes -- do this myself because I don't have. A -- an optical drive on the many thousands I have to get we're talking about this last week let -- be external -- your -- you didn't have one."
" Daughter was laughing -- it I went and bought that I -- actually building -- piece he accidentally PC it was just a bit. Despite the parts and I was like laughing the central computer which is a local computer store it's it's we've basically goes to this is the world's reports. And the price of actually we have to say that in San Francisco there's nowhere else I -- what this is a couple places out. Towards my into the city but I can't find them criticized for those computer that it power. And Fries like takes the manufacturer's suggested retail price doubles that's their price. But not the bitter about prize but."
" Yeah I looked nasty things about some of their practices to unfortunately Fries prices peaking returned items at. In -- boxing them and -- I'm I don't I'm not slander and yeah."
" Pretty good about basically raping a big -- it -- it's. Chrysler no one's gonna debate -- has customer service issues I think it got pretty good about working stuff that had been sold in return. And if it's like 4 o'clock on a Sunday -- need problem programmer back -- Turkey to dvds that probably eat dvds like. You know who doesn't resisters it is the police because -- can't vote when this eventually. So accepting the light systemically to win this reboot most of it a few minutes you should actually have an entry for windows seven in your start for extra when -- use this system."
" So I'm would you recommend using an external dvd drive or something or can you do it from a large on disk. Just as well people are doing it from thumb drives I have had a chance to do it myself but since that I just make up -- I only drives for the thumb drive that's what I meant to say thumb drives good I of the board gigabyte SanDisk cruiser. That I think might work uh huh have a tentative yet."
" It shouldn't people have been installing it from thumb drives -- about it myself but I should you can do it okay well have to it will take XX. In the shadows. What -- at this puppy run did we come back I'm gonna build my first PC that cost -- the 500 dollars in like six years. -- my core I seven on well basically because I have to. Render out the 175 dvds in another 600 albums with -- moment thank the folks who make this show possible."
" They Tekzilla viewers I'm Tyler house intern Revision 3 I'm here to talk about Squarespace which is hands down my favorite publishing platform on the inner. What I liked most about Squarespace is that it back and easy -- it's so easy you can oversight in three simple steps. One -- of modules pages features you want on your site. To if one of the people's templates provided by of course it's only by professional designers. And three sit back and relax your web sites off that to just play around add more content and enjoy.

Bolton to the Tekzilla gadget of the week the -- earpiece a tech we absolutely can't live without this week."
" that killed if you will. Every once in awhile is a product so ingenious and so obviously can't help but think why do I think of that. Case in point the -- plot to we took a camera tripod shrunken and segments in the legs and neck. But you end up with is a flexible bendable take anywhere tripod if if the guerrilla pot. Except it's currently it's got a monkey's tail -- wrapped around signs trees or other objects and attach your favorite camera cellphone MP3 player or gadget. You can dramatically the suction cup. Now -- device is right there where you want. Plus -- raising the legs at the -- applaud them an uneven service and still take level pictures from a wrapper around afraid to take those hard to reach clean vehicles. Robot come in several different sizes and colors to accommodate any personality or big -- camera. So if you -- traveling tripod it's compact sturdy and simple flexible give the gorilla -- of attention you'll be glad you did."
" Are anybody out there are thinking about upgrading to a course that -- system young -- want to wait a week. Maybe to I just bought one which means the price don't you drop. Or eighty book of my life yes."
" You know buying the Kindle 2 and a new one coming out forties later. Well at all that's it much more expensive one coming up forties I mean it is convenient as it looks I'm not that are now."
" We're not better than you this is also why haven't trailing edge adopters normally rather than leaving it to doctor."
" Fully and even the cheapest core I seven B 920 it's like 300 bucks -- How'd you -- to build a 500 dollar PC with that little piece that means like the garbage Iran is for everything else pretty shiny new."
" Well you hang outside of the right computer store the -- Actually know and actually building a much more than 500 dollar piece of the person forever right it's like a power user can see what it well actually okay the courts have a -- 92300 bucks of the popular -- right here. Basis sixty AT motherboard toured through six dollars six memory slots in some very nice auto overclocking features I think what -- super extreme tech for the heads up on this. Course there exit -- three. Six gigabytes of DDR 316 hundreds a 110 box courts have worked with banks of 360 -- these sweet spot. And oh yeah I got one -- three pack two gigabytes fix is my -- grain has he stoked to see what I can do it back -- every -- he's -- like everything runs. The main system memory and he's extremely. Extremely happy about it is one terabyte hard drive I've been pretty happy -- people lately that the case Western Digital caviar black it -- one out. Who were -- Western Digital green drives to be using for storage devices in liquefied devices hundred putting box. Here's the part where the hardcore gamers are going to be quote poor. Kinda for uploading things like video encoding your -- visits to the GPU Nvidia has the advantage right now what could it it's just better adopted -- Yang has their own system. But it's well adopted I -- the applications that are stoked about it that said the 110 dollar ATI radeon HD 4770 GPU. Is the best deal now -- hundred dollar car for 3-D. Simple audio -- you might -- this sapphire version does. And it's something I look forward to testing not have to use like a secondary audio card to get so it -- audio pastor. Yeah this serious gamers should be looking -- order -- toward fifty dollars per card if furiously through with you know as you guys can easily get 400 dollars or is going to be you know game. -- together cards to render into the wee small hours. I'm not a hardcore gamer. It I'll probably have that -- idea averaging keep up with video encoding. It's just when -- tested compared to this that. Yeah bully it's cool actually is is I can also log onto these radio and my motherboard can -- crossfire so I can pick things up a little bit. You may mock me. In email if you like he Tekzilla revision3.com. Tell me why it is evil edited put it faster graphics card here. I got your dvd drive putting -- of -- brooks. These are cheap they are few months sales probably eight dollars and there's a third of what it does with a lot of applications you can actually just loads CDs and and they'll keep reading like once -- either mix CD mix CD's of makes you makes helped render faster. -- 850 -- Course here to fix it. I know. How are you talking. Power supplies look -- enough room to upgrade should I decide to get -- quote real graphics card unquote. And my goodness do these things stink of long Bali were. Along the university network. And then that big long can assure it -- of plastic. But so of course as we get some pretty healthy reviews price is right this one back jet taking off. No actually it's pretty quiet. And yes it's gonna be on the garage anyway so if it's -- it's your house let's not even touch them right now. I've just I've just. I'm gonna -- it case other case -- case I think that's happening. The case of putting all the yeah. -- skeleton it's a review the order Symantec itself 440 bucks online. I'll be recycling a basic Steelcase back -- my derives -- people seem to put the most amazing -- stealing key X cases on the street and a regular basis my neighborhood. We wanted to see if this case mate swapping step in and out any easier in this certainly stylist as a giant fan -- it. I thought it. Evans and my head it looks like something out of upon what I do have a pretty small head and it bigger and yeah it's a big fan and rockets head. So there are a lot less expensive expensive options here this is like I said this my first power machine in the wilds probably a little enthusiastic except in the whole three gaming corner. Check out extreme tech dot com's latest 500 dollar piece he if you could bargain -- came -- last week. Built around eight PI TT 4770. And today the Athlon X -- that -- get -- If you spend like an extra hundred bucks to pick up the of these phenom to export 955 that will be honking boosted enough processor. Well I wish him luck so there you building's. A little built this thing that'll help it. We've built he'll be running. Windows seven that there will be July it's now become our dance shall be alert and there's gonna be hell hole a lot of CD grip it once it."
" Don't coming up next the -- of slot music and the plot -- slot radio player in the future of portable music or just another dead end find out what we learned after a week withstand the sweetest music player but."
" Wear a seatbelt in -- less likely that died folks -- wrap their Tekzilla that we want you to live and that's -- revision three's doing with hundreds of state and local law enforcement highway safety officials across the nation. It's all about click it or ticket wicket -- aggressive this time we're -- enforcement mobilization we want to cut. Alex the lowest seat belt use it is simple way to reduce highway fatalities buckle up day or night wanted by the American film fails the problem right. What that -- is about seven alone seat belts saved an estimated 15000. 107 lives and additional 5000 lives in war could have been saved if seat belt reward. At that time of the crash -- it to -- stick around for next week she'll be safe and buckle up day or night click it or ticket people."
" Looks like it's time for another website we just can't get enough. We just can't stay away from it too funny -- irresistible this expect -- check dot com. TV watching is serious business and nothing else can ruin a perfectly planned evening at home part of the shiny happy bucks more and unexpected be around. Rerun -- dot com takes all the -- TV watching. Sure even look you're keep those upcoming recording to see if everybody is imminent or even and nothing happened TV guide who wouldn't just -- simple yes or no answer. Well of lost -- Revision 3 offices except for Roger plus C -- this week's show we'll be. Scented name in the search bar and yank its new you can even tell me -- checked notified by email when something's coming. To make matters even simpler of the list on the main page that shows some popular television -- so we -- this week so you don't even need to look those up. And I going to the news this week -- you can plan your entire viewing week based on which shows and if and when their -- Check every front check dot com and never sit in the -- mean again if you want him."
" Remember CS back in January are buying me lot of products snow -- What looked tired just thinking about it -- and there's the slot radio player which is clipped to -- sure right now -- has -- recently after playing with it for a week or two."
" Well let's talk about what we found while separates -- radio from slot music because there are different things very different things."
" All of them Centre on my trusty and micro SD HC memory cards no shock there -- SanDisk is at hearts can memory company. -- She said. -- cards or -- outcome DR and freak 300 money kill bits per second free format saved on a one gigabyte micro SD card in theory you can vitamin that's fine wool mart."
" Those of the big partners for distribution right accessed by more who've basically sell. That the biggest junky music and dare I promised little puppy it's pretty crazy they actually had sixteen gigabyte cards now about sixty bucks."
" My -- do you drive on my -- skin but. It yet but there are a lot faster horrible blob under properties that -- So here's the slot radio is a micro SD card -- with a thousand songs pretty -- constant but it can only keep his -- slot radio compatible micro SD player. Such as this when I'm holding a with a firmware upgrades and disks -- the -- now the -- radio player. And I'm gonna put these. Micro. SD card inherently. Yes -- ever they. Goes wrong people flurry -- card. -- anything else and it shows up as blink handful which like five or ten megabytes of space to write songs do. Supporting Bucky to a thousand country songs are all these are or B hip hop or rock songs or rectal wall on the -- that actually cause of the slot radio player. They're compressed like satellite radio compressed may be worse maybe I'm over sensitive. I can see slot music -- ground for people that refuse to buy beer and free audio files off the Internet to rip CDs. Maybe but slot -- just seems like what those ideas that's just gonna die. Side we're talking about whether or not the SD card or micro SD HC card inside of it. I think the lack of a -- in skipped back button makes it more useless because it's it's pretty. Skip tackle it just keeps playing we found that kind of frustrating and I think a little worried about. The proprietary USB cable sure the guy product proprietary USB cable but you can buy it and truck stops in drugstores. And light off of tables and the street in San Francisco it's it's funny because it's actually out of that -- well encoded MP3 bigamy files it deliberately audio nicely in case built in FM radio. The minimal controls tried to kind of nuts -- basically moved from directory the directory back and forth and you can pause and skip forward."
" Right so. I just don't buy this whole thing yeah I mean I guess it's a cute idea and all but. With so many players these days having plenty of onboard memory to store enough music in many you know even the ones that you have expendable memory. This just seems like unnecessary."
" Yeah especially since basically all of the art and wine sales Natalie companies. Now because candidates who wants to sell more memory and does seem like a little -- gimmick yes I I've come with him -- the act both of us and this come on we love you we love your memory bit. Slot radio just seems like -- and -- you don't the upside is at least the slot music disks aren't the current code there that's great and that's really exciting isn't some."
" I mean I edit on ascent is meters and one. I have -- I -- settling going to tighten the trade shows and getting thumb drives being an iPod here we -- iPod -- uses in the drive and home. I'd I'd have them so I'm sorry it was really good I would keep that line. All from that I think we should probably take a video question this one comes from a friend I've heard this. It's."
" Patrick and Veronica question about playing video on the PS3. Now my house some footage edited in soccer pro on the Mac it's in movies it's an hour long in deep -- pro HD format. And 72024. 264. And then converting that to MP four which will play MPS three. But the files that -- files won't play it a to an error. Anything under like ten minutes and it play no problem so I'm just wondering if the Sony PS3 will even support something that big or. Masters and the other options that I can try to excellent."
" This current partisan dozen people series of -- doesn't raising video that -- I was still say no affirmative but we've spent a lot of time driving to -- videotape in the desert covered with dusty tacos. Here's the thing right Xbox and the PS3. Have some interesting limitations on video file sizes mostly based on drive format sometimes however -- seem to be things that are built into the the -- device software operating system itself are true girls. It's it's in and how on consoles the last. Your best shot is to stream the file over your network based the sort of a Gigabit ethernet network between your. Server and there's also different server software that work for this basically stream the file over your network. To the console that -- worked great and two round fat 32 and the other file limitations. Wendy's WB or DivX or mpeg four. I would also tried just decoding it in WB your DivX if exe. File smaller then if it's a relatively small file try encoding it to be -- DivX is my understanding is that -- be.

" Remember CS back in January are buying me lot of products snow -- What looked tired just thinking about it -- and there's the slot radio player which is clipped to -- sure right now -- has -- recently after playing with it for a week or two."
" Well let's talk about what we found while separates -- radio from slot music because there are different things very different things."
" All of them Centre on my trusty and micro SD HC memory cards no shock there -- SanDisk is at hearts can memory company. -- She said. -- cards or -- outcome DR and freak 300 money kill bits per second free format saved on a one gigabyte micro SD card in theory you can vitamin that's fine wool mart."
" Those of the big partners for distribution right accessed by more who've basically sell. That the biggest junky music and dare I promised little puppy it's pretty crazy they actually had sixteen gigabyte cards now about sixty bucks."
" My -- do you drive on my -- skin but. It yet but there are a lot faster horrible blob under properties that -- So here's the slot radio is a micro SD card -- with a thousand songs pretty -- constant but it can only keep his -- slot radio compatible micro SD player. Such as this when I'm holding a with a firmware upgrades and disks -- the -- now the -- radio player. And I'm gonna put these. Micro. SD card inherently. Yes -- ever they. Goes wrong people flurry -- card. -- anything else and it shows up as blink handful which like five or ten megabytes of space to write songs do. Supporting Bucky to a thousand country songs are all these are or B hip hop or rock songs or rectal wall on the -- that actually cause of the slot radio player. They're compressed like satellite radio compressed may be worse maybe I'm over sensitive. I can see slot music -- ground for people that refuse to buy beer and free audio files off the Internet to rip CDs. Maybe but slot -- just seems like what those ideas that's just gonna die. Side we're talking about whether or not the SD card or micro SD HC card inside of it. I think the lack of a -- in skipped back button makes it more useless because it's it's pretty. Skip tackle it just keeps playing we found that kind of frustrating and I think a little worried about. The proprietary USB cable sure the guy product proprietary USB cable but you can buy it and truck stops in drugstores. And light off of tables and the street in San Francisco it's it's funny because it's actually out of that -- well encoded MP3 bigamy files it deliberately audio nicely in case built in FM radio. The minimal controls tried to kind of nuts -- basically moved from directory the directory back and forth and you can pause and skip forward."
" Right so. I just don't buy this whole thing yeah I mean I guess it's a cute idea and all but. With so many players these days having plenty of onboard memory to store enough music in many you know even the ones that you have expendable memory. This just seems like unnecessary."
" Yeah especially since basically all of the art and wine sales Natalie companies. Now because candidates who wants to sell more memory and does seem like a little -- gimmick yes I I've come with him -- the act both of us and this come on we love you we love your memory bit. Slot radio just seems like -- and -- you don't the upside is at least the slot music disks aren't the current code there that's great and that's really exciting isn't some."

" This current partisan dozen people series of -- doesn't raising video that -- I was still say no affirmative but we've spent a lot of time driving to -- videotape in the desert covered with dusty tacos.

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.

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! ;)
