    Installing Vista 64 bit over Win XP MCE

    Is there any way to run the Ultimate upgrade of Vista 64 without erasing the info on the HD? The Vista Ultimate 32 bit upgrade worked fine and kept all my data files and programs intact. When I decided to jump to the 64 bit Vista that was included in the upgrade, the 64 bit install essentially...

    E4400 C2D on an AsRock 4CoreDual-VSTA

    The E4400 has 800mhz FSB and the board can do 1066, so I've heard that running this chip at the higher FSB is a no-brainer. My question is, since I'm not ready to fully upgrade my AGP/DDR, can the E4400 at 1066 on this mobo work with the lower clock speeds of the AGP/DDR or will these...
