I am hoping that my new PC will be here before Xmas and so will help get us to 800 years a little sooner, though I am doubtful at this point?

The Company said that they promise Pre-Xmas Delivery if ordered before the 17th December, my order went in mid day on the 14th... Only today have I received an email to say that the build has commenced, well the build time shouldn't take that long granted (experienced builders should have it done in a few hours or so), but based on my previous order from them, testing takes a full 24 hours after the build has finished, and then passing it to the Courier who then has to ship it half way down the country to me!

Well the Courier doesn't offer weekend delivery (unless they send it via Parcel Force, which last time they didn't, it was Business Post), and I doubt they'll deliver on Xmas Eve so it's looking like the 27th at the earliest.

It will handle GPU out of the box, so atleast it'll give a few days before the end of the year (I will overlap the Dual Core & the new PC slightly due to the length of time it takes for HPFP2 to start validating)

I'm less than 11 days left to 6 years on HCC (not including any pending)

Good evening all. The new laptop is up and running. Just waiting for the i5 to be delivered!
