I don't need RF, but that URC MX-5000 is one bad mutha. At about $1k, though, I'm going to pass. :)

I'm once again tempted to buy a Harmony One.

I must let the moment pass and save a couple hundred dollars...
Two more hours to order from Amazon and get it tomorrow. If it wasn't an extra $7 for Saturday delivery, I think that I would have done it already. :)

We'll take up a collection for the extra $7 :D

Thanks, Alex. I appreciate that. I'm all about the flashy, though. The Harmony One just looks cool to me with the color touch screen. True, I could just get fresh batteries for my learning remote from the Pioneer VSX-1015 (which actually works great)...but how am I going to stimulate the economy by doing that? :D

Which operating system do you have...32bit systems only recognize 3gig if I remember correctly...gotta go to 64bit to use over that....I think.:confused::)

Do they even make a 64bit XP? I'm running the original install of Xp(SP3) that came with it (Dell XPS M1210 laptop).

I'm pretty lame with computers but I found this...

from above:
Understanding 64-bit PCs

If you've gone PC shopping lately, you've probably noticed more computers with 64-bit processors, and you may have wondered what advantages they offer.

Put simply, a 64-bit PC can handle larger amounts of information than a 32-bit system. Since it can use more RAM—4 GB and up—a 64-bit computer can be more responsive when you're running lots of programs at once.

I bought it in early 07, I think. I don't believe it's a 64bit computer and don't know how to check. I just thought it was weird that the system was only recognizing one and a half sticks of RAM.

Click the Start Menu, then move your mouse over to where it says "Computer" and /left/ click. Now select "Properties." This will show you your processor and operating system type.

If its a 64bit computer, when you upgrade to Windows 7, make sure you get the 64 bit version.

If your just using the computer for the 'net, it's probably not worth the extra scratch. If you use Photoshop, rendering packages, CAD, and so forth then it is.
