Default Re: Damm Range Check Errors

Another consideration would be brand of system. Many off-the-shelf type systems (ie: Compaq, HP, Emachine, etc.) care more about self promotion than they do about PC optimization. I have seen these types of systems come out of the box with less than 50% resources free due to brand specific garbage being loaded at system start up. Personally I find that extremely annoying, although profitable when those systems take a dive a year later when the consumer adds the latest 3D game to their system and it all comes tumbling down.

About the tweaks, I will post them with a disclaimer and include them in my sig, or perhaps a new thread (not sure how to proceed with that).

EDIT - Damn typo's, and I even previewed this one!
