Alright

Microsoft Windows XP Media Center 2005 Single Pack
Microsoft Windows XP Media Center 2005 Single Pack

Comments: It works fine but there are some bugs that I can't get fixed. Drivers are a little different for it and regular XP. The features are cool that come with it. Like party mode and the new interface for media. Unless you are really into media I would just stick with regular XP.

NOT THAT GREAT

Comments: It burns quick but I have made my share of frisbees with this burner. It freezes the computer when its finished burning sometimes and there is no way to get out of it, except to restart the computer by holding down the power button. Wouldn't buy another one.

Works but annoying

Comments: This board can be annoying. You have to do a BIOS update for most things to work. It doesnt know what type of CPU you put into it, even though it's on its supported list. You have to update it to find an AGP card. Why can't they make it come with the update? After the update everything worked great. But before the update it was even a little glichy when loading and running Windows XP. If you don't mind updating the BIOS then buy it, if you don't feel like doing that buy the Gigabyte board that's onsale.

Alright

Comments: I haven't had any problems with this CPU but it's not that fast. I was expecting a little bit better performance from it, considering it's a 64 bit CPU. Next time i may go with a Celeron 64 bit CPU. Just wasn't impressed with all the hype that AMD has the killer 64 bit and can kill Intel's CPUs.
