    Upgrading primary OS in dual boot system

    Hi all, I'm running a dual boot setup with 98 and XP Pro. 98 was the first installation, so the boot.ini file resides in the 98 partition. I'd like to upgrade the 98 partition to Win2K, ultimately having a 2k/XP system. Can I just upgrade the 98 to 2k? will that overwrite the boot.ini...

    windows media player problem

    WMP won't play an .mpg file from internet explorer. It will play other formats like .avi and .wmv, but not mpg. I just get an error window saying that windows media player has encountered problems and needs to shut down. I can play .mpg files if I download them and play them off the hard...

    Price change, not hot: Panaflo 80mm case fan - $6.99 @ Case-Mod.com

    I'd be interested in some input about that too, and no, I don't think you're super sensitive. I bought a few of those Vantec Stealth fans last year. First and last Vantec product I'll ever buy. Any company that has the nerve to call these fans "stealth" isn't getting any more of my business.

    Samsung 19" CRT Monitor Model 955DF-T/T Retail $189 shipped from newegg

    Ive had one of these for about a year now. It's ok. Good picture, gets a little pixelated near the edges, and the geometry is impossible to get perfect. Don't think I'd buy another. But any flat 19" for $185 w/ free freight is a good deal. And, as always, Newegg rocks.

    Microsoft Windows Updater?

    Oooooooohhhhhhhhhhh, thank you. Damn that was driving me crazy. Little bastard was popping up every 5 minutes. Weird though. I've formatted a few computers with this same Win2k disk and never had that happen before. The mIRC thing still has me stumped though. None of those programs I...

    Castrol GTX and Syntec Blend

    I started using full synthetic (Mobile1) about 4 oil changes ago in my '98 Camry XLE-V6. The stuff is amazing. I live in Southern Indiana (very hot lately). It's been almost 8K miles since my last oil change. I checked it the other day and it was still clear, didn't drip off the stick, and...

    WD Raptor Retail 36GB 10,000K 8MB Cache for 129.99 after MIR at LV Fry's

    That's a loaded question. I've been reading up in forums on this drive for a week now, and noise seems to be a topic where no one agrees. I'm starting to believe that different batches of the same drive can have different noise levels. I had read alot of people saying the the WD special...
