I read an article on securevista.net and it states that vista limits the incomplete/syn packets connection attempts pers second that the system can make.

Does this mean essentially, our downloads on vista will be slower?

Could someone clarify this a little bit more for me? maybe know of a solution also?

no im just moving to a new case, not building a whole new machine.WoWCraze

Oh I see, well then no theres nothing to go between the mobo and spacers, Unless theres washers for the spacers or whatever.

I'd like some opinions on the cost effectiveness of an upgrade. I have an AMD socket 939 A64 3500 and was considering going to an A64x2 4200 for $79 before AMD stops making 939s.

My current system is an A64 3500, 2GB DDR 400 (4 x 512), 6800GS, 250GB hd.

I game at 1280x1024 (HL2, UT2004, FEAR, etc). I'd like toplay Supreme Commander, Company of Heroes,Oblivion, Bioshock, and HL2:ep2.I alsohave been considering an upgrade to Vista. Is dual core worth $79 right now in those applications, or would I be better off putting that $79 into a total system rebuild in a year or so? Would it be a worthwhile upgrade if I popped in a 8800too?

well eventually youre gonna have to rebuild and s939 is already dead, so i wouldnt think its worthwhile upgrading it. unless youre on a budget.
