I thought I was a registered user from the past. Oh well!!  Any way I'm glad I'm here. I just recently had to upgrade this computer. It was a Presario before but now it is a EVGA based computer. I installed a Ge-Force 7150/630i system. It has the core 2 duo processor. Wow it is nice. I also had to get rid of the old ide hard drive. I now am using a WD Caviar SE16 400 GB hard drive. I am doing the dual operating system; XP Pro and Vista Ultimate. Both had to go thru the activation by phone method because of the new hardware.  ..enough of that..

I will post some questions for those to answer, later. I may be able to answer some of your question, also. I've learned a lot in the last 6 months with Vista. I believe Vista is a beautiful system. The only problems is lack of support from the vendors. XP was/is also a good system.

I encourage all to really look at their systems and consider an upgrade. Many out of the box computers are crap from the get go. Upgrading is easy and sweet to see the results. Watching the Olympics from TVtonics was very cool on this system. Yes this board has HD quality!!

blabbin' .....

Thanks for allowing me in this forum...
