    Most recent stuff:

    Vanity truck plate for my truck that says "TUFBOOK"
    Changed my Capital One Platinum card to have the "Nothing defeats Toughbook" water/fist image.
    Just bought a workstation setup with a XEON CPU to do more work at once. (2GHz Xeon E5-2620 CPU with DX79SI board + RAID 5 RAPTOR 300GB drives).

    Good lord! I'm just nuts :p

    This is the perfect time Rob to do a what if build on your desktop. " What if there was a toughbook desktop?"

    Am i mistaken, or did Rob get back to one H2, because he could do everything on that? So he didn't need all the others anymore?? Hahaha.

    The H2 most def ISN'T powerful enough to do what I want to do. I have since invested a ton into a XEON CPU workstation with 3 x 10,000 RPM drives :)

    copyright/tradmark issues ? offensive it is not... maybe it is, to NON-toughbook owners :D :p

    wow, quad-channel DDR3 2400Mhz w/ 8 (eight) slots, up to 64GB !! I would personally use a hardware raid card (and RAID 1 + hot spare)
    kind of reminds me of the days of i486 when you were required to fill all 4 memory slots in order to achieve the required bandwidth for the cpu, if memory serves me right ...
