I'll be honest, I would re-install it (pc could probably play it now with out any issues) but don't know how much time I would get to play. The will and want is there, but there just doesn't seem to be enough hours in the day. I don't ever have time to play DC anymore, in fact since my last xp re-install I haven't even had the chance to install it. So, my answer is yes I would play when I had time to do so.

Nice my brother! I am in about the same boat. 6yrs 7mo and I'll have 25 in the school system, but I'll only be 45. Pretty much with our State Retirement System I'm in, you don't grain much after 25 yrs of service, so I'll probably change jobs to either a personal business or try to get into either the cable or satellite companies here, pick up another 20 years in their retirement system and pull 2x plus what little SS I'll get, and still only be 65. ; )

If you like fantasy, try the Iron Tower trilogy by Dennis L. McKiernan and then the other books in the Mithgar series. Influenced by Tolkien, of course, but much more accessible in my opinion. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dennis_L._McKiernan

Very neat trilogy, and duology (second set of books), I liked them a lot. Easy going read, very JRRT influenced. I started the Hobbit again the other day, plan on the whole series plus Silmarillion and Hurin. Gets you through the holidays/cold tucked into a corner with a nice tea or brandy with a good book and a favorite blanket. I have found I really like RA Salvator. Not just the Drizzt series, explore his other projects if you have time. I really liked the Crimson Shadow. I also was spreading out a little and picked up the first Harry Dresden novel by Jim Butcher and couldn't stop buying them. Really cool look at how magic could be employed, and the whole Dime Store Detective novel approach keeps you reading.

Sweet! I've seen a lot lately in technology improvements that have me thinking that some of the stuff we saw or imagined as kids could really be viable working things if not all in our life times, our childrens at least. Anyone thinking "Deus Ex" ? LOL

Happy After Birthday Birthday! 34 huh, that is the epitome of youth! Wait till you get to my ripe old age of 38! Your bones ache, you can't understand your kids music anymore, and "staying up late" is watching the Discovery channel after 9 pm, LOL.

We had the exact same problem with a 750I INTEL 775 DDR2 , after 2 rma's and a lot of phone tech, we ended up with an interesting issue. Seems the cpu we were using (E6500, fresh out of the box) , though listed as being supported, was not. We did a BIOS roll back to an earlier release, plugged in a Pentium D 3.4 I had in my machine and it ran like a dream. Purchased a E7500 duo and updated the bios upon install and it has run w/ no glitches for over a year. Perhaps check that your cpu is truly supported, or barrow a different one from someone for a bench? Or do a BIOS roll back to 1016 (I see from one of the screen shots on ebay that it is 1017). They are available from the ASUS. I couldn't find one on the Alienware site. Here is an interesting quip found in a forum: http://forums.freebsd.org/showthread.php?t=19613

now on the hitching side here in the states we use the thumb to ask for a ride..in Germany and most of Europe as I was told when I 1st got over there they point with the Index finger down the road to ask for a ride since the thumb will more likely get your butt ran over or tromped by someone since its something bad ( they refused to tell us what it meant lol)
