Yes, it is faster.  Just hope you don't have a dvd drive or you're **** out of luck.  Creative DVDA drivers cause BAD_POOL_CALLER bsod, as does installation of windvd and powerdvd, so I conclude that 2k3 has no dvd capability.  I had it running before I figured that out.  Just a little heads up for ya :)

If you are having issues with dvd playback under Win2k3 try using video lan client ( http://www.videolan.org ).. it plays almost everything i've thrown at it, even mpg/avi files that crash winamp/media player, a bonus is it plays dvds, vcds and will play bin/cue files without them being mounted via tools like daemon tools..

LOL i have DVD drive but i havea a pentium3-600 and i'm using DVD only for data...

"Go get your refund << racial epithet >>, i aint dead"
Who i can download this VS? I like the start button.?:p:p

It's just classic with a custom start button (use tclock2 to change your start button)

I'm going to have to go ahead and agree with you </lumberg&gt:laugh:h:

hahaha funny nickname

And now i installed windvd 5 w / o any problem and it works too w/o any problem...

I stand corrected, but I'm not gonna reinstall 2k3 again anytime soon. I switched over to it for the speed, and I have learned today that a properly tweaked out XP install is just as fast, if not faster, than 2k3. Spent a few hours tweaking the registry and services, etc and now have a pretty speedy setup going on. Only thing I can't figure out is why aim.exe is taking up 24 megs of ram. Anyone have any ideas?

Back to the thread's topic, here's my desktop (click for 1280x1024 png). Disabling the themes service really gives the system that extra kick :)

Anyone looking for that Elisha Cuthbert wallpaper, look here - https://www.neowin.net/forum/index.php?showtopic=142542
Except now you can't, sorry guys, I never said the pics were mine, obviously they were from a mag, but also from another forum, not from nwar as suggested in that thread, but another nonetheless. [this one - Big Pictures And rightly so, the thread was closed as I never said that they weren't mine, I'm seeking permission now, but I took them down from DA as well, so hopefully this will be sorted soon. Sorry for the inconvenience I caused by not thinking enough about my thread.

Ok, I contacted the guy whose pictures I used, not nwar as was suggested, andy5223 at this forum - Elisha Cuthbert Forum and he allowed me to post the links to my wallpapers on that forum here - Wallpapers based of Andy's Big Pictures

    • But you still need RAM and a GPU. If you haven`t any spare that`s going to cost quite a bit...
    • Thank you for the feedback! I updated the image
    • Hmm wonder if I can share/resell the 'physical' edition like I can now.

    • JBL BAR 800 5.1.2 Dolby Atmos soundbar is an amazing deal today by Sayan Sen This Amazon Prime Day 2026 sales so far we have had a couple of nice deals related to sound and audio. First we have the Sennheiser HD 600 at its lowest ever price of just $225. Next we also have the Beats Studio Pro at its lowest price ever at just $150. However perhaps you prefer your gear to sound great on a larger scale, like throughout the room. In that case an all-in-one soundbar system can help and currently JBL's BAR 800 is a great deal for sure as it's up for grabs at just $600 (purchase link under the specs table down below). One thing that should be appreciated a lot about these JBL soundbars is their spec sheet and the frequency response data it provides. The firm is honest about it as JBL confirms the subwoofer is able to go down to 35 Hz at -6dB or F6. This means it should be covering 40Hz and up very well, where most of the bass lies. You miss out on a lot of sub-bass but that is to be expected given the price point and the subwoofer driver size. Speaking of which, it is a 10-inch driver and promises a max output power of 300 watts at 1% THD (total harmonic distortion). JBL also claims the system will provide you with a "True Dolby Atmos" experience. The surround speakers are wireless and battery-powered which means setting them up should be really convenient. The technical specs of the JBL BAR 800 are given in the table below: Specification Value Channel Configuration 5.1.2-channel soundbar system Dolby Atmos Yes, with 2 up-firing drivers Total System Power Output 720 W Soundbar Power Output 340 W Surround Speaker Power Output 2 × 40 W Subwoofer Power Output 300 W Soundbar Drivers 3 × 46×90 mm racetrack drivers, 3 × 20 mm tweeters, 2 × 70 mm up-firing full-range drivers Surround Speaker Drivers 1 × 46×90 mm racetrack driver (each speaker) Subwoofer Driver 10-inch (260 mm) wireless subwoofer Frequency Response 35 Hz – 20 kHz (-6 dB) Audio Inputs Optical, Bluetooth, Chromecast built-in, AirPlay, Alexa Multi-Room Music (MRM), USB* HDMI Inputs 1 HDMI video input HDMI Output 1 HDMI eARC output HDCP Version 2.3 HDR Pass-Through HDR10, Dolby Vision Bluetooth Version 5.0 Wi-Fi Version 6, 6E Streaming Services Chromecast built-in, Apple AirPlay, Alexa MRM Get it at the link below: JBL Bar 800-5.1.2-Channel Dolby Atmos soundbar with Detachable Surround Speakers (Black): $599.85 (Sold and Shipped by Amazon US with Prime) Prime subscription can be cancelled within three business days.
