I got my new Luck tool set in the mail today.
I also sold my hotrod G2 last night and put it in the mail as well.
Typical. ;D
The tools are pretty cool though.The ball joint plier is a lot sturdier than the EXI ones.
You know how the 1.5mm and 2mm hex heads wear out right?Well,replacement shafts are included for these.Cool.
I like the case better too.
Oh,and the new 2G 200 pin DDR2's came today too.That's the RAM cards for my computer.Be a total of 4 gig of RAM then.
I'm going to install them myself.I've never had this computer apart before so if you never hear from me again you'll understand. ;D

Yep, I have both tool kits as well. The EXI kit at my nephew's in Peoria and the Luck kit I got off eBay that I use here. The ball link pliers in the EXI kit have already bent, the Luck ones here are still going strong.
On your memory...if you're using Win XP, it'll only use about 3 gig of the 4 you got. Vista, I think, is capable of handling it all and then some. I don't use Vista, so I can't say definitely.

Earnie,
Have you got a link for the Luck Tools or did you get them on EBay?

Do your screens flow into each other?
I have my laptop hooked to a 46" LCD and I can fly my sim from one to the other.If the resolution is up.

As long as the sim is on the same computer. I have two screens on one, two screens on the other, and one on the XP computer. I have Kavoom so my mousing flows from one screen to the next, but it's just the mouse version. I can also cut a paste from each computer and quick file transfers. I used to game on it. I played 5 online characters at once. It's called multi-boxing. It grew old and in the summertime there was no cooling this place down. Now I just use it to have multiple programs rolling at once...
