    I really do have an endless amount of knowledge bottled up that I just have ZERO time to show the world to help everyone out. It sucks really...

    I tried explaining this to a customer once and he was lost... I just gave up...

    hey, this was good info, I didn't know that I could use wacom pen's for this. Nice to know!
    How's it working out for you with the H2 as main setup? or still waiting for the bigger disk?

    A bigger desk will come once I buy a house. I want one now but just don't have the room for it.

    It's working better now that I adjusted my page file from the OS suggest size (3300mb) to the recomended (5700mb) based on 4GB system RAM.

    I think I will need to shoot for 8GB RAM, but then I'd need to re-image with 64 bit :(

    I'm gonna roll with what I got for now.

    So when you do this "buy a house thing" lol. Are you staying up north or still thinking about coming down south?

    It's funny that you asked because I honestly don't know... I can work anywhere in the US, so I better pick a good place!

    I actually just asked everyone on my Facebook too to get their opinions... Oregon is looking good thus far :)

    Maybe I'll open up an OFF TOPIC "Where should I live and why?" thread??

    Update 4.4.13

    Unfortunatly this just isn't working! It's just too slow! It works great for about a day or a day and a half and then the system gets so slow that I cannot function. I ended up just going back to my old desktop from 5 years ago (It's pretty built anyways: C2D 3.0/4GB/ 2 x 300GB 10k RAPTORS RAID 0 for 600GB + high end dedicated GPU

    It works WAY faster.

    I'm keeping my H2 as it's still WAY better than my H1 was (That and my CF-19 and CF-H1 are both sold).

    When I travel, I'll still use my H2 for everything.

    I installed the OEM WACOM drivers to make it so I could use the button on the side of the digitizer pen as the erase as I don't plan to hook up external screens to it ever again anyways.

    When I travel, I'll just sync the data I need.

    Life is good! :)

    I just saw that video earlier today! It's great!

    Update: I am going to re-build this old desktop and put a Xeon CPU and mobo in there and add one more raptor HDD and reload with RAID 5.

    I can't wait to have ultimate power and performance! :)
