What I meant by my last post was that when you are giving away specs of a PC, you should at least give a bit more details such as,

CPU: AMD AthlonXP 2600+ Thoroubred 'B' 2.133GHz
Motherboard: Gigabyte GA-7N400 Rev.2
Video: ATI Radeon 9600Pro, 128MB
RAM: Kingston ValueRAM, 512MB, DDR400 (x2)
Hard Drives: Samsung Spinpoint SP1604N 7200RPM, ATA100, 160GB (x2)
DVD Burner: Benq DW1640, 16X Dual Layer DVD Burner
Monitor: Prolink PRO775CA, 17", Flat screen CRT
TV Tuner: PixelView PlayTV Pro2
PSU: Fortrex FP-500W-14, 500W

You should try to give the model numbers as much as possible, so that any person who needs to learn more about them can do it by googling or whatever means necessay. Just by saying 256MB video card, one cannot know which exact card he is refering to. It could be a 256MB X300 (which is very slow) or 256MB X1900XT (which is very fast, about 20 times faster than the former).

What I wrote above is only to show how one should write a proper confiuration. More the details, the better. If one can include BIOS versions, revision numbers, codename of the CPU core (because AMD have a lot of code names such as Venice, San Diego, Winchester, Manchester, Toledo...all in the Athlon64 family of CPUs and sometimes they are identical in performance, sometimes they are not - at the same clock speed, I mean) it would be easier to track down the exact product, if a person is interested in it.

For crying out loud...stop moaning about that "hanging" part. It was just a figure of speech.

I can't find that download.com thing you were saying. Can you give a direct link?
