Okay so my dad brought home this windows xp computer that had p4 @2.4ghz, 768mb ram, etc.

I had much better parts to put in it, so I did. I put my i5 750 quad core with an ati 4350, 8gb ram, and the hddd that had xp. Expecting it to bsod right away, I tryed starting it. I stared in disbelif when in actually booted, and I was able to get to desktop and all was good (after a shit ton of found new hardware wizard).

Yet windows 7 couldn't handle going from a core 2 quad q6600 to a i7 3770k when I upgraded. Blows my mind that xp even booted.

XP=still most stable operating system in windows lineup lol. Goes to show new isn't always better. 

Beneath this mask there is more than flesh. Beneath this mask there is an idea, Mr. Creedy, and ideas are bulletproof.

As I get older I get angrier more cynical, meaner. I feel some warning posts coming. I feel a ban coming. I was warned.
