Its official…
Windows XP Service Pack 2 doesn’t boot on my machine. Thanks to a slipstreamed SP2 installation disc from nifty sources, I was able to confirm this. So, I am staying away from SP2 and have an SP1 install chugging away just fine right now.
Since I was installing my Sound Blaster Audigy 2 Platinum drivers today anyway, I noticed the DVD Audio stuff that I had never really played around with, since my last machine wasn’t up to the task of playing it. Well, my current machine is up to the task, and I was quite impressed. Computers are so cool.
It will be a while before I have everything back to exactly how I like it, but I never planned on having a real permanent installation on this computer anyway, so thats acceptable.
Oh, when I reinstalled Steam (one of my first tasks – amazing considering how much I used to detest the thing) I noticed that Half Life 2 Bronze, Silver, and Gold packs are being presold. So now I have to figure out if playing CS: Source is worth it, or if I should hold out for the Platinum Pack that will be available from retailers with a T-shirt. After all, I do have the original platinum pack…
