    Vista home basic...removal

    Vista basic is pretty much a stripped down OS I don't know what bloatware your talking about unless your talking about the extra stuff that Asus installs. You can always remove the bloatware/trial versions with the add/remove control panel. A 2Ghz Celeron CPU is pretty low end for Vista but...

    Vista,Xp or Windows 7?

    I run Windows 7 RC 64 bit on my main system. It has been more stable and rock solid then any other OS I've used. Microsoft really nailed it with Windows 7 and with Microsoft Security Essentials. The one thing I like most about Windows 7 is I didn't have to install a bunch of other software...

    8800gts (g80) to 4850

    I personally don't think it would be much of an upgrade. It would likely give you a small boost in performance such as you'd be able to chance a setting to high that was previously at medium for example. I don't think any increase is worth the hassel of ATI drivers and overall poor...

    GOT AUDIO ONLY - NO VIDEO....again !!

    I have to disagree with Euklid I wouldn't download the codec pack for 3 reasons. 1. It's not your issue. 2. They casue more problems then anything. 3. You really only need a couple codecs that XP doesn't come with most of the time anyway. So let me get everything straight you'd had you...

    So Pleeeease! is saying is what your saying is you have a bootlegg copy of Windows and you don't want to chance updating it. You likely need to download the high definition audio driver package from Microsoft (KB88811). To fix HD audio in windows XP.

    Linksys Or Belkin

    I have and use Linux routers and wireless cards. I just find them easier to use and better performing then their Belkin counterparts. Linux is also more expensive too but worth the extra money.

    USB Flash Drive Stability?

    USB drives are not even remotely good as stable storage devices. It's not a good place to keep data that you don't want to lose. They often fail and have errors. Thumb drives are not a magnetic medium like a floppy disc or HDD so there is no danger from magnetic fields. The reason they have...

    32 bit, 64 bit, ??? bit

    Magicalpops you have been given some bad info. A 64bit OS manages memory in the same way as a 32bit OS does it just can manager more of it. Windows 7 64bit does a very nice job of managing memory (and it's most definitely does more then 1 program at a time). Computers have been dividing...

    mixing ram frequencies.

    Springy182 is correct even with a 64bit OS going from 4GB to 6GB won't make any differnce at all. Even though the system could use the RAM (as in see it) I can't think of anything off hand that could take up that much RAM other then AutoCad and Video Editing software. Daily use and games won't...
