The "repair install" (with the slipstreamed SP3) will functionally bring about the new CD installation as being the installation that continues as THE "installation" on this computer ?

Any techies familiar with what would happen if I installed a different Win XP Pro over an existing Win XP pro installation. do want to keep the registry entries for the existing programs applications. I have a legal CD of XP pro, (not for resale) that I was sent in exchange for beta testing...

That is a good thought. In my location, I am in a canyon with no nothin' for hundreds of feet and plenty of breathing room. The location and the monitors have not changed for years. I am curious about the drivers / video card aspects, and if there are perspectives and experiences along these...

Very oood point Very spot on Previously, I expect particularly in conjunction with the use of the full Nokia tools, and the several hardware adjustment knobs and whistles, I remembered a sharp and comfortable display image. The monitor, itself, had a street cost of at least $1,500 in its day...

A communication presumably to the veteran folks here. My two Nokia 445X pro monitors are/were very high quality in their day http://www.smartcomputing.com/.../24g09/24g09.asp&guid= or TINY URL http://tinyurl.com/d4bww5 After a crash of various factors in my previous Win2K system...

I will go to the PSU forum. thanks for your quite intelligent responses. I will go with the 9500 if there is not that much difference in power usage. You are right about the most reliable drive for OS booting. Yes, Win2K SP4 was the OS in use. But you may have a real point in the 1TB potential...

Sgrinavi, thanks. It was clear as a bell on the EVGA site that EVGA recommended minimum 350 for the 9500 and 300 for 9400. I prefer not to dig it out and find it. But your reference to the 50 W for each is of value. Even more value is the factor of the PSU. I bought the Magnum 500 half a year...

vj8usa and MarcVenice, thanks. I started with my considering of those two cards upon other?s recommendations. EVGA seemed to be a preferred company. Also a factor of economies and purchasers awards, etc. But I am very open to other suggestions. The usage would be photo, graphics, musical...

yh125d, you look ominous as a Gorilla, I must say. So would there be a factor of the 9500 needing the potential of an additional 50W for some significant reason ? Does anyone know if the various hardware factors on /with the 9500 make it a more desirable card than the 9400, for my purposes and...

EVGA 9400 or 9500 for photo & graphics work On the EVGA site they reference that the 9500, which has the 32 processing paths requires, or is recommended to have a minimum of 350 watts power supply. The 9400 is, however, recommended to have a minimum of 300 watts power supply. I am not a...

Thanks, Deadtrees. I have to confess that I don't quite follow everything that you wrote, but I appreciate it. I get the impression that my last posting would pass muster with most that view this forum. We will see.

Thanks, It looks like the GA-EP45-UD3P MB with either e8400 or q9400 and the EVGA 01G-P3-N945-LR GeForce 9400 GT 1GB DDR2 PCI-E 2.0 Graphics Card. And 4 gigs of DDR 2 ram. (2x2) Any preferences as to most practical speed of the ram and any good sources or deals ? Thanks, J

Yellowbeard, Whoa, Corsair specialist. Thanks. That goes a way to my illumination regarding your knowledge and experience. I will shortly get the GA-EP45-UD3P MB and use only DDR2 memory. If you would be so kind, and I was about to post this next final posting, namely the good middle ground...

Yellowbeard, Thank you. I did not know the data that you have provided regarding boards that support two memory types or speeds. Wow. I am also new to learn that running 4 modules or 8GB would likely be problematic and slow. I had thought that 16 gig, for example, was quite workable, with no...
