That always beats the 98% of Windows users who don&#39;t have a clue. I don&#39;t know about you guys, but if I look at the amount of people who have their software in a bunch... Sighhh...

Linux is (starting up) so much faster, because the GUI doesn&#39;t influence the performance so much. Most Linux operating systems look quite well, without "demanding" graphics. Ubuntu for example needs at minimum only 128 MB of RAM&#33;
Also, because there isn&#39;t that much malware developed for Linux, you don&#39;t need your virus scanner to be "scanning ahead" when you are working with your system. Scanning after downloading a file is enough (but that is more to make sure your Linux pc won&#39;t become a "stepping stone" for virusses trying to spread).

Gazz, I think I should tell you that you probably mean "bundle". "bunch" is used in case of flowers or so.

I know this is hardly on the topic but I have to get it out of my system
I&#39;ve used Asus motherboards as long as I can remember but now I&#39;m completely done with their overly bundled expensive shit&#33; :rant:
Bad experiences case 1:
Not so long ago my Striker extreme died upon bios flash and of course contacted support..
1st they send an email saying that they can&#39;t help me please contact retailer...yeah right, isn&#39;t it their problem in the end anyway? okay so I explained them that it&#39;s not possible due to the fact that I bought it from Newegg via friends "nxs" help. Thanks again by the way :D can&#39;t seem to thank him enough. But yeah that didn&#39;t go thru their strict policy either so as a last resort I asked them kindly to send me a new bios chip. "Yes it’s removable and they sell them for people that are too scared to flash their own bios" but got no answer.

So for now I have worthless peace of shit hiding in my wardrobe. But mark my word the battle is far from over. I&#39;m on prowl for revenge and there’s nothing that can stop me from having it :lol: Oh oh&#33; And did I mention that I had to wiggle my GFX card before the system starts each and every morning? Yeah that’s right&#33;. I build my system several times to get rid of it but no. Now with the new evga mobo I have no such problems. How odd? B)
Case 2:
My Asus physX card wasn&#39;t in that good condition when I took it out of the box I saw one of its transistors fell off... No biggie I soldiered it back on my self and worked flawlessly...
The point of all this ranting is simple Asus Blows&#33; They build expensive crap yet cheaply for them selves and when customers get in trouble for their lack of product quality they are left in the wind
I know there are many that haven’t had any issues with asus ever… Try Striker and comeback and say you still haven’t had an issue&#33; i dare ya :lol:
Whew, I feel allot better now :D

Maybe you should try MSI ?
