um... you have amd right..?

well now im not sure if it is a wmp11 problem, its just a vista problem...

ah f*** it! what a pita vista is. it wont even let me dual boot xp x64 with it! and it just keeps crashing all the time until it gets the disk full of f***ing errors!

does wmp100 work for you guys in pre-rc1? for me it would play fine for almost a whole song, then it would crash my comp... so i had to go back and use winamp and now im fine.

when you break them? lol...

except then you would need a decent lcd monitor, at least 200$. but 95% of ppl would use their xbox on their monitor, they would but it on their family room tv or something.

pci? okay then... http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.asp?...N82E16814130186 http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.asp?...N82E16814130188

and way to go not reading the last paragraph

well any comp with a 4800x2 and a 7800gtx should be fast... it has nothing to do with the manufacturer. btw, is that sli?

well i created an autoit3 program back when i had a crappy laptop. when i would run the sims 2, the program would kill explorer.exe, and when i exited the sims 2, explorer.exe would come back on...

that cannot be right at all. where did you hear that from?

well 2x1 is definetly what you would want. the prices do seem kinda high tho.

it wont validate b/c that cd key is for dell's backup cd's. you need those cd's. maybe call up dell but i think they will charge you?

sounds like xp doesnt have a drive for you gameport/game controller. try going to the manufacturers site and look for a driver for it.

well i have x64 which is basically 2003...

so you're saying that your 2k comp looks the same as ur 360? ive compared my 2k system to a 360 and its not even a comparison. now unless you spend 2k on an htdv.... now i cant comment on an hdtv.

well i plan on getting the ultimate x64 version, but ive said before prolly a year after it comes out, meaning 2008... thats unless vista is all its been made out to be, which i doubt.

they moved it, lol. i got the email yesterday from them and they moved it already! well: http://www.longhornblogs.com/robert/archiv...ilable_Now.aspx

thats why you dont buy creative maybe try out a kx driver...? http://kxproject.lugosoft.com/down.php?language=en

well first of all isnt 5536 the pre-rc1? currently i am dloading this off of bittorrent, i was accepted by MS into it, i got the email and cd key from them. but for some reason the link they provided is dead.... can anyone confirm this? but i would highly suggest this version as i do not beleive it is a beta version, as i stated its pre-rc1. edit: omg i just noticed that im dloading this version off of bittorent at my full speed! 860kbs+ !!!

i installed that program with GRAW and i dont have the card, but i had no problems...

do you have a link to a website for this controller? any guide for it?

punto-what made you think he had a 1x/2x board? he never stated what board he had and his current vid card is pci...

well this is what im thinking for you right now. you dont need great ram since you dont plan on overclocking.. now i know this is newegg but prices shouldnt range too much for you at ncix or whatever you want to use. a 7900gt plays oblivion on full specs w/ hdr but ati can do hdr and AA which nvidia cannot, so you can get an x1900xt if you want. now if you plan on getting this at christmas time then some nice ati dx10 card will be out but im not sure about the prices. if you're getting vista then i guess that dx10 would be a good decision. also by then the n590 chipset should be out, hopefully nvidia will make the best chipset for the core 2 duo's. cpu : Intel Core 2 Duo E6300 Allendale - 193$ http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.asp?...N82E16819115005 mobo: Gigabyte GA-965P-DS3 Intel P965 - 143$ http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.asp?...N82E16813128012 vid card: evga 7900gt -240$ http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.asp?...N82E16814130032 ram: Patriot 2GB (2 x 1GB) 240-Pin DDR2 667 - 169$ http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.asp?...N82E16820220095

you are exactly right. once a week would prolly be too much for me tho... once a month should be fine tho, but its not like my hdd needs it.
