I've been shopping processors for week or two and I wanted to verify my thinking before making my purchase. I'm looking for something that will be a drop in replacement in a Gigabyte board which has an X2 7750 BE w/ 4gb of DDR2. My major use is for transcoding Blu-ray files w/ x264 codec...
Talking to the folks at Dell is a good suggestion, but the problem you're going to run into is that even once you've swapped in larger drives, you'll continue to have 73gb sized partitions on them.

Hey guys,
I was playing some quake 4 the other day, and my temp monitoring program flashed me a warning that my CPU was over 55c. I opened up the case, and sure enough my pump was hot as hell, but not making any vibration. I shut the machine down and took the pump out of the loop to see if...
Thanks for the tip. I thought that I had tried everything, but hearing that this had happened to someone else made me try some more. While I couldn't get WinXP to hotswitch the DVI port on, I did try lowering all the settings back to like 800x600@60hz and plugged in the DVI after shutting down...
