1700 workstations?  Give 7 a year at least bro, let all the kinks get worked out.  We're still running xp on all our workstations, never went with vista. 

Although I'm running gentoo and ubuntu at home.

Unix speed.

oh yeah, well, Win7 will catch up soon with the Market. can't go wrong with Linux

[brooklynbruiser]

Once Linux becomes more consumer-friendly (as in dummy proof), it'll have a chance. Until then, its limited appeal will remain...limited.

Or if 99% of software actually runs on it instead of not running on it.

Yep. God bless 'em though.

lol.....I'm not sure if Linux will ever become user friendly( the interface). it is after all, one of the most trusted OS. shit, Mac OS is built on Linux frame, so that tells you why Mac is what it is.

osx was built on unix no Linux.
Ubuntu is pretty user friendly. The real problem is the lack of good software for it.

I would use Linux in a minute if it was gaming friendly.  Unix/Linux is best for servers.

Fixed. 

Looks like someone has oiled up musclemen on the brain again.

Sorry dude I'm just learning to read . 4gb ram will help with getbig image downloads and posts for sure.

I think Im gonna make my friend clock it up to 3ghz also.

Just because Im gangsta like that. Or maby do it after I add a cpu cooler.

You are one tough dude man

[A2daMIR]

speak on this.

i put it both on my home computer and my laptop...its a major upgrade from XP, but i think its safe to say that on the outside, its more of a Service Pack for Vista...

AMD is behind the times now at one time it was a cheaper way to go.

You can push the i5's to 4ghz, the i7's can reach over 4.5 with extreme cooling.

I was thinking 3ghz might be fine with original cooling

tbh swede if you arnt video encoding/3d rendering, then any type of quad would be fine.Ive considered upgrading to an i7 for my 3yr old dual core but I cant justify it, still running at 3.5ghz and blazing through anything I throw at it.Even my after effects\sony vegas renders dont take anytime.Most of the benchmarks you see are people opening up single gigabyte images in photoshop or professional grade 3d studio renders and the like, something 99.99999% of people wont get anywhere near.Basically anything you buy with a quad on the label, 4gb of any ram and some graphics card that begins with ATI 48xx will last you for another 4 years at least.

ive been reading that the Intel Core™ i5 Quad Processor i5-75 is super clock friendly.
But maby skip clocking it to 3ghz for now then
