Well, look for one with the 10CHR southbridge, that's widely considered the best one out there right now (the newer boards have a less than stellar successor to it).

There are pretty solid offerings out there, but P35/P45 chipsets should be up your alley since they're relatively modern without being playined with the 48 line's shit.

>>8 I'd install Rockbox, but my 60gb video came with a warranty. This is actually a good place to ask, will Rockbox void said warranty?

maybe, if you were to hand it over with rockbox. but unless you really fuck it up, you can just reformat it with itunes. i've done so twice to claim my warranty.

Samsung YP-Z5.
All metal case. I've dropped it countless times with no damage. Supports English/Japanese/Korean filenames/tags and more. Can be used as a normal flashdrive (with its data cable) which means no iTunes/WMP to mess with.

I use a Pure DAB 2000. It's a pocket DAB radio that has a record facility onto SD cards (in MP2 format). Via the same method, it plays MP3s (track number relative to SD card capacity).

Rio Carbon 6gig, Drector's cut firmware.

old as sin and runs like a tank

I use a 160gb ipod classic.

Greatest DAP in the world.

Creative Zen Vision M

160GB Classic - not rockboxed because last time I checked it wasn't supported.

Zen stone; got it free on newegg this past xmas when I bought an external HD. Great player when you fill it with music you know you want to hear and then just put it on random.

I use a really old ALBA "mp3128nd1" mp3 player. It uses a AAA battery and has only 128MB of space, but I like it because it's easy to use and starts immediately.

If you want to browse the net with something extremely basic just use the IE that came with windows.

Next if you want to stop a bunch from starting up on boot up try
start > run > type in "msconfig" without the " now hit enter and go over to startup. Only un-tick things you know you won't be using and careful not to disable something the system needs. If you're not sure google the name and find out what it is.

Also check your Start > all programs > startup

clean out junk you don't want.

I still recommend fox 3.

install damn small linux or a nlited XP

If you want to do online gaming, go with something like tinyXP as opposed to a linux distro; Wine still sucks.

And as for the browser: stop being so anal about bloat. If you've got 1GB or more of RAM and have a vague idea of how to get your PC running efficiently, you won't notice any difference in how basic things perform if you're running Firefox, iTunes and Azureus as opposed to lolifox, foobar and uTorrent. Want to do some image editing, or something else unavoidably RAM-hungry? Fuck, close your damn web browser. You weren't using it anyway, and FF3 lets you save tabs. Anyone who thinks that NEVER using more than 3% of the memory you have available is a good thing is an idiot.

lmao XD

Old!

I GUESS THATS WHY THEY CALL THIS FORUM TECHNOLOGY ROLF XP

When there was no The Internet

Back when Dijkstra dissed shitty CS curricula. (VC: painness ... WTF?)
