I definitely think you ought to look elsewhere. Once the icon package is applied, unless specified otherwise, IconPackager.exe will not be loaded at system boot. I have an Audigy 2 ZS too and I really don't see how IP could interfere with your sound card. Maybe a PCI latency problem? just a suggestion... Did you mean that the mere presence of the installed IconPackager software on your hard drive causes the Creative software to malfunction? Which

But how long will it be before they build a brand new chip with designed with 64bit and dual core, from the mobile chip? not sure what you mean. Intel will ship a revision of Yonah (part of Centrino 3 platform code named Napa) about the time Windows code named Longhorn ships. That's gonna be my next l

kona0197> howdy again! Happy to see you're sticking to your "x86-based but not x86" story! About AMD vs Intel: if heat was no problem, I'd probably go for an AMD Athlon 64 that offers better value and better overall performance. But did you ever hear about the Centrino platform for laptops, in which the Pentium-M offers better performance, battery life, efficiency and more performance-per-watt (less heat for higher performance) than their AMD coun

same problem here when WindowBlinds is loaded in conjunction with WinDVD full screen or 3DNA Desktop. But it depends on what WB skin you use, Steve Grenier's OS X Tiger theme shows that flaw for instance, but no all of'em do.

I think that if they were looking to switch they should have gone with AMD. AMD chips would make the price of an Apple PC fall a bit - thereby making a Mac Mini even more affordable. Instead I think by using Intel that Apple PC price will go up a bit. Let me update you on that. I got news for ya:

I think you're getting all worked up on your own. Nobody claimed that Mac OS X could somehow be ported onto any PC platform. I don't understand why you have to sound so aggravated... No evil PC user will put their disgusting fingers on your cherished Mac OS X! No its not on an x86 nore x86-64 architectures. This wil

no Macs will not run on x86 no systems wont dual boot mac/windows its just a architecture change, not a switch to x86. This is a bad move cause now developers have to recompile, and passibly do major tweaking to lots of software. I don't think you have any evidence to substantiate those claim

Steve Jobs may make a right choice for the time being, but in long run, could Apple be as influential to Intel chip architecture as it used to be to PowerPC chip architecture before? I don't think so ... Intel vs AMD competition prompts each party to innovate regularly while I believe IBM and its Power

Intel makes the best hardware for PC"s in the world. This will be the best thing that ever happened to Apple. I will go buy the first one that comes out with an Intel processor. It is about time they started thinking about the inside as much as they do about the outside. This collobration in my opinion will spur
