Ah, that is great, I'm using 3.0 so I have had spell checker long time, pretty good as otherwise you would not get even that half of what you get now from my text :lol:

I did download it via Internet ;)

No, 3.0 is not public yet and also it is not to be used in stable system, but I'm bit geek so I like to destroy my system with unstable software :oops:

If you want a play, try vista, it's quite good... and only took 30-45 mins of tweaking to get fulling working!

I do have Vista, it is not good at all, eats awful lot of memory and my A64 3200 based machine feels like old or something...

Also it is annoying to get those bloody messages and popups all the time, it takes zillion GB of HD space, while Vista loads I can take cheese and stuff from fridge, make sandwich, eat it and make another.

Hey, I have even 1GB of ram, it should be enough to play games, but not in Vista, it starts to swap and it takes really really long time to do again something with Vista when you end your game.

Oh yes, not all games even runs in it.

Best feature is to be able to burn DVD that plays in livingroom, with few clicks from video camera's tape.

Well, I guess I stick with XP and then later change over to Linux :lol:

I havn't tried any games yet, but I've found it really quick, I'm on a 32bit 3200+ althlon, with a gig ram. Strange, I've heard there were some 64 bit issues though.

I was surprised to be impressed ;) I'll see how GTR2 runs later...
