Description
The 360 is hooked up to the secondary monitor so I can swap on the fly from PC to 360, my Dish Network is also hooked up to it so I can watch TV on that monitor as well.
The desktop is a real time sun position for where the sun is shining on the Earth right at the current moment.
PC Stats: Intel Core2 Extreme - 3.00Ghz. Quadcore. 2 Gig Ram. 2 NVidia 8800 Gt s SLI'd, 2 tB space, Windows 7 64 Bit. (Will be going back to XP very soon, until 7 is released.)
-I'VE SINCE GOTTEN NEW PC SINCE THIS PICTURE!-
This also shows off my AWESOME LEGO Hoodie.
Anyway..
Enjoy.

What are you using to get the desktop being the real-time sun position at the current time?

Clicked this randomly and I'm wondering why you're not rolling with 4 gigs of RAM and Vista, which isn't terrible now that SP1 is out. Since 7 is on the way it doesn't make much sense now, but at the time Vista was a better option in my mind.

The extra 2 gig of ram I bought for the PC at the time were bad.. and I just ran out of money to buy two more, so .. those will be coming soon.
I ran Vista on my old machine (which is still in the house, just being used as a network machine), and I can tell you, it was a plague of epic proportions. 7 is so much better.. and it seems to run beautifully on 2 gig of ram..

I hear this from lots of people but I never had issues with it. Generally I heard it was good enough after SP1, so I'm interested in what happened.

A lot of peoples issue (including mine) was the fact that Vista is so overly bloated and it takes forever to to anything in the OS. It's also very, very slow.
Vista took about 45 seconds to boot on this machine, and 7 takes about 14.

Fair enough. I've always leaned towards things being more functional (and to be perfectly honest, pretty) than worrying about something taking 30 seconds more to get going, but I understand perfectly why that would annoy other people.
