[RWP] Odd Glitches?

[Patrick Perdue]

I'm using an installation of Windows XP that is actually older than the computer it lives on, and things are still running reasonably, considering that Windows install is now almost six years old, and the motherboard, CPU and RAM have changed since the install happened. I cleaned out all records of the previous hardware, because I was too lazy to bother reinstalling Windows on that machine. So, under the worst possible conditions, I'm still being relatively productive, so... perhaps not.
However, I'm about to finally get the new variant of the same system running with an SSD and Windows 7 64-bit, so it can actually take advantage of all it's hardware.
