New Computer

I would definitely recommend Windows XP Pro 32-bit over Windows XP Pro 64-bit. 64-bit has shown basically no improvements as far as performance goes and the OS is still riddled with bugs and compatibility issues (the driver support is severly lacking). Another thing to consider is do you really need Win XP Pro? I would say the majority of it's features are useless for the average user.

Well, If your not paying for it, who cares o_O

How would you not pay for it? I hope you're not implying piracy because that topic is strictly forbidden at Ozzu.

Someone gave me Windows XP Professional (my dad's friend from work).

You know that's most likely illegal right?

To give a friend an extra copy that he has? He does computers for a living.

Oh, as long as it's not been used by him. Why would you think the OP would be in the same situation as you though?

I have an MSDN Volume License Subscription. One payment a year and you get anything microsoft. I have XP Pro, server 2003, longhorn betas. Most are VLK capable, but the download on MSDN's site is for non-VLK 64bit.

How much does that cost Shlby?

You would have to ask my employer.

Okay. I will look around I guess.

for some odd reasons I am getting multiple E-mails from ozzu for private messages and nothing is showing up in my PM inbox.

Is your inbox full?

nope, at 4%.

Ok, Mobo, Memory, vid card, Proc all in the case and it posts. I have to manually tweak the latency timings, but other than that the memory functions 100%.

I need to put in the DVD and the HDD and I need to put a floppy drive in it just to load windows.

I'm going to take a break and have a gourmet dinner on the water. Take out chinese on the boat anchored on the river 200 feet from the inlet to the marina.

I'll be back later and I'll post when I get her up and running.
