Me, myself & I

So, my computer has been failing for about 6 months now but over the last 2, things have been dire. I am limping to the finish line with my second Club Vivid vid and then with help from the bank of mom and dad (Max's) I am getting this The Dell XPS 630. It's an awesome monster of a machine! I shall have it in about 2 weeks.

These are the specs:

Base Intel® Core™ 2 Quad-Core Processor Q6600 (2.40Ghz, 1066MHz FSB, 8MB cache)
Microsoft Operating System Genuine Windows Vista® Home Premium - English
Memory Memory 3072 MB (2 x 1GB, 2 x 512MB) 800MHz DDR2 Dual Channel
Keyboard Dell™ Enhanced USB Multimedia Keyboard - UK/Irish (QWERTY)
Video Card DUAL 512MB NVIDIA® GeForce® 8800GT graphics card
Hard Drive Hard Drive 640 GB (2x320GB) Serial ATA (7200 Rpm) Dual HDD Config. Raid 0 Stripe
Floppy Drives and Additional Storage Devices 19-in-1 Media Card Reader with Bluetooth
Mouse Dell Optical Scroll Premium Mouse
Optical Devices 16X DVD+/-RW (Read/Write DVD, CD)
Sound Cards SoundBlaster™ XFI™ Xtreme Gamer Card
Speakers Dell™ A525 Speakers with Subwoofer

Pretty cool, right?

All emails/comments may be sporadic for the next couple of weeks.

So other than thefourthvine has anyone successfully downloaded my NTSC dvd?

My computer hates me. Seriously. I reformatted 1 of my eternal hard drives only about 3 weeks ago and because it was the best out of the 2 externals I decided that was the one where I should back-up all of my vid projects trimmed files to. Oh what a mistake that was! It's cost me dearly. Saved projects, tutorials, digital juice files - gone. Thank ---- I have the master AVI's. RIP drive you have served me well. I do wish you had given me some warning you were ill though, and then I might have been able to help... or at least taken the burden of my files from you.

Damn.

ETA: I think I jinxed it by mentioning the vid yesterday...
