Thanks. I do have XP which will help. Thanks for the input. :)

Right now I have 2 monitors and 2 video cards Ti4660 w/Sony 21" G4 MX2 420 w/Sony 18" LCD I'm selling my machine to a buddy and getting one with a Radeon 9700. I am trying to decide whether I ought to use the 9700 as it as dual outs or go ahead and by another card (Radeon 7000 or another MX...

Besides the obvious, what are some pros, cons and differences between the 2? Thanks!

Might be building/buying custom computer. I'd like the best gaming rig. I'm OK on the sound card and video card issue but how about these things? 1. CPU A. P4 2.53 w/533 bus or B. Athlon XP 2200 or C. Dual Athlon XP 2100 2. Mobo A. ASUS ?? single B. ASUS dual C. Other D. P4...

Good call. I had forgotten about the restore points as well. Thanks
