    Full version vs Upgrade?

    1) Why is that the only way? 2) It will run the same if you install the upgrade the right way 3) Dunno I'm on 32 bit Why pay for a full version of Vista? You can install any upgrade version of Vista and you get a 30 day trial of the OS without having to register it. Actually, I think they...

    Possible To Legitimize A Bootleg Copy Of XP Pro Without A Complete Re-installation?

    Once you buy a used copy of XP, look in the FS/T section they are cheap, you can use the freeware RockXP to change the key I think or you can do a little registry magic and swap your key.

    The Unofficial ASUS P5N-E SLI 650i Board Thread

    Has anyone tried this G. Skill (F2-6400CL4D-2GBPK) RAM on this board? I looked it up on the RAM list and it says it has ProMOS chips, post 1 of this thread states "Memory: Any Micron D9xxx memory". I guess I don't have the optimal memory for this board but will it even post with this RAM?

    I don't understand why you would even post this. The majority of people on this forum are either too immature to give you solid advice, or too enamored with the idea of making a "shocking" statement and seeing the result. You should call your girlfriend/friend/close relative and talk about this...
