Win7 - change lock screen background

I know PC game space is limited, but overheard a GS managers conversation

Any ArmA players here?

You don't need to activate ArmA if you buy the Atari version in the US. They have the ArmA Gold version that includes Queen's Gambit in the US now. With the 1.14 patch you no longer need the DVD in the drive to play.

Wanted: Boring Stable Affordable Vista 64 Capable, future Upgradable

It was announced that Server 2008 and Vista SP1 actually share the same kernel. There aren't very many applications that are incompatible with Vista x64, mostly older applications. I noticed you were looking for the ability to expand to 16GB of RAM. You won't find that on the vast majority of...
