Howdy. My NX7000 (2003 UK model) is still quite perky. The graphics drivers have recently decided to blue screen with any fullscreen Flash, but I guess it's a W7/driver problem more than anything (it was fine a couple months ago). I think I'll revert back to XP soon. I do have a slightly fidgety trackpad every so often. Again, mostly with Flash doing its thing.
I do however find DX8.1 a pain - you really want DX9 as a minimum. I think this is the real beginning of programmes (games) disappearing out of reach for this 7 1/2 year old machine. Booting and running full res is no problem though. But no transparency.
PS I've upgraded CPU, RAM and HD. Graphics remain as crap as ever.
I think I'll push it for another few years to reach the full decade. Then throw it out the window. Get a record or something. Will this forum even be alive then?
