if you're using ms's version of dualboot then you're going to have to re-install the x64 because the oldest program must always be installed first. Once you reloaded your regular xp you broke the rule and lost your dual-boot, since 64 then became the first install butis newer than xp. Also the...

Can you set up two speaker sets to run off one system? I don't have a sound card but my mobo accepts onboard sound to 7.1. I have 2.1 speakers hooked to it now, but I'd like to run a set of 5.1 speakers from the machine as well, in an adjoining room, to replace my hifi as I put everything I...

I'd go for Soltek hands down. Biostar are solidly made, though uninspired, and cost less but Soltek is more advanced & offers more flexibility inside the case, which is impressively thought out & executed. I just got the 3801 after months of studying everything on the SFF the market...

what model is it? My 3 yr old amdk6 presario 1200 mobo / cpu just died and the shell's sitting in pieces on the coffee table. If its the same model we could rebuild 1 very slow Frankenstein's laptop. Q is, tho, who would get custody of the child?

Oh and ps for what it's worth it's got a solid 250w psu.

You should certainly consider the Soltek 3801, I just put one together last week and it's a revelation. I've got 512g of ddr400 and a 3000+ in it--blazing fast, nearly silent (its usually my HDD that's crunching away, not the fans), 2 @ 5 1/2" bays, n-force 3, tons of i/o, and s-ata raid if you...

For that budget and her needs you just can't beat a laptop. It's one-stop shopping and she can move it wherever she wants. In a small barebones system the only thing that comes close is the Msi megas, they're tiny & not so expensive & they've got cd/fm tuner off MB so you can have...

I just bought a barebones & saw everything out there. For girlfriend cute, check out the msi megas--really small, integrated radio slick design like a sony stereo. But cramped inside (onboard video though they can get a tv tuner in there somehow) and noisy they say. Otherwise A-Open makes...

Actually I was looking to do exactly that and wished you'd explained in more detail howyou made it work. Any help is greatly appreciated
