In short, yes, you need to buy another copy. I would buy vista for now because it is more "future-proof" then windows xp.

Yes, but 3.4ghz means nothing. 3.4ghz core2duo? 3.4ghz PII? 3.4ghz ARM7tdmi?

No because if an active application is in use and needs that ram, vista will gladly dump the cached data.

You will probably have to buy a recovery cd as stated above but whats the point? If you don't like vista install xp; but what would cause you to want to use xp for now and comeback to vista? Sorry that i can't really help you, i am just curious as to see your needs in a OS.

Go into the Control Panel>>User Accounts. Then look for something that says "User Account Control (UAC)" and disable it. While this is not recommended it stops those annoying popups asking "Allow/Deny". Hope this helps.

I recommend gentoo. It's a very newb-friendly distro. ;P On a more serious note: I vote for ubuntu as well. Another good one is opensuse as windows vista stole most of its look from it therefore it should be an easy transition.

Super Grub Disk * Use Super Grub Disk Grub If you have booted your linux distro with Super Grub Disk, or a live CD and want to restore your grub, follow the below instructions: * As root (or with sudo), type grub * When at the grub prompt, type find /boot/grub/stage2 * This...

Yeah, microsoft can do much more then confuse computers, lmao. But yeah, longhorn was the name of the project, vista is the product of that project. Hope this helps.

I hear its a 1.8ghz P4 equivalent, lol.

Im not saying anything like that. I cant give you numbers since i have never done it. I am just saying that the cpu does do a lot of behind the scenes work and so having a slow cpu wouldn't allow the gfx card to perform at its peak. No matter what gfx card you have it would still perform up to a...

That wouldn't work. The x server talks to your cpu, gets the data off the ram that it needs to render then back to your cpu to get "packaged" to be sent through your bus to you northbridge then to your GPU to get rendered. On top of that there are a ton of physics that needs to be processed. I...

I use firefox but i am switching to opera. Firefox has become what it originally was implemented to prevent; a bloated browser.

Maybe if you have a shitty processor. In theory yes (if the game maxes out all your cores), but in reality no. A sound card, however, gives you more features like 5.1, 7.1, etc, clearer sound, and a better sense of where the sound us suppose to be coming from.

I would get the 7600gt. The x850 generates a ton of heat (thats why most models have a slot cooler attached). That and i hate ati due to lack of linux drivers.

It's pretty funny how many features m$ stole from linux but yet some how made them worse. The aero effects was a direct rip off of compiz and beryl, yet microsoft's version uses tremedous resources compared to compiz or beryl. That and it has a lot less features then compiz and beryl. O well...

I would get 2gb of ram and maybe a 8600gt if you are on a budget or a 8800 if you got some $.

First thing to check is firewalls. Make sure that your games are on the allow list for any of you firewalls. If you have a dedicated firewall make sure windows firewall is off. Also, has your games ever worked online or did it decide to not want to connect one day?
