have you guys just now realized all this????
i mean you didnt notice that every single hard drive youve had has not been read as the same capacity as the box advertised???

no, i knew, i was just saying that i agreed with saxon about it being stupid, the box should say what is usuable.

my HDD reads 232GB instead of 250GB as advertised. Apok told me why OS read HDD like this n i forgot .

EDIT: off topic

does Unreal Tournament 3 support DX10? I played the beta demo, turned everything on max n noticed better textures. I'm interested in this game or until Quake Live/Arena comes outs, i love Quake 3 so much!!!!

So here is a "dozen" cd's....


It should be illegal. Can CPU's be advertised as 3 ghz when they really are 2.55? nope...
