Since you're not providing them a license anyway, why not just give them a copy of an XP OEM disc.
So I don't end up paying microsoft a huge fine.
You are more likely to irk them by charging for the disc than for simply giving it away.
They don't care about the discs, they care about licenses.

I guess everything has to be re-written to work with 64-bit, so there's no point in upgrading unless you know you can also upgrade ... everything else. I'm surprised there's no work-around, like having 32-bit programs run inside a 32-bit VM (virtual machine).
Where's the future when we really need it?

Did he break off the entire part, or chip it?
What color is the part? How many contacts did it have connected to the motherboard?

No. Won't fit physically, and wouldn't work anyway if it did fit.

You will need a new graphics card.I heard you cannot play dx9 games in vista.
You heard wrong. Heck, Aero is based on DX9.

Relevant entry is probably the one that describes it as a video thumbnail.

There is no 64-bit Windows XP Home. There is a 64-bit Windows XP Professional.
Performance in some applications is improved a bit. Performance in others is degraded, and a few simply won't run. Driver support is still not good.
There is no compelling reason for most users to move to it.

I assume you mean non-conductive. If I'm working on something electrical and need to be isolated from ground I don't think I'd stand on foam packing material, but that's just me
Mark
No, most foams used for ESD prevention are conductive. They still have a relatively high resistance, but they are conductive.
-
I agree with the Terroist about placing the plastic on top of the foam. While the foam might be made from insulated material, it is porous(sp). I use some surgical rubber matting I got from somewhere. Perhaps a plastic or rubber placemat would work
Mark
The foam is usually made of a reasonably conductive material. It prevents the build-up of localized charge on the board.
Stand-offs are a better solution. Connecting them all to ground is not required (or clear acrylic cases would be fairly useless), but is preferable. Better grounding is better.
For vertical mounting, yes, pulling the motherboard tray from a case seems like an easy and effective solution.

SLI will complicate the issue quite a bit. Are you really sure you want to run SLI?
What price range are you looking for?

Make sure the drive configured as Master is at the end of the cable, and the drive configured as Slave is in the middle of the cable.
-
Technologically, yes. As long as other conditions (like you having phone line laid to your house already) are met.
However, a lot of telecoms are not willing to sell such "naked" DSL packages. You need to check with the company.

I spoke too soon.
I just "upgraded" to iTunes 7 from iTunes 6.
MAJOR MISTAKE!
Read about my iTunes woes here.
I was able to fix it and go back to version 6 after MANY reinstall/ deletes.
My advice is to dump 7 and go back to 6.
Unfortunately the older versions are hard to find.
But I have the .exe files for 6.
If you need them, PM me.

You might also try hunting down iTunes 6, it was reportedly less terrible.

I did not realize vmware server is now a free product. This is great. i needed a way to test css on IE5, so I just installed 98se using vmware server. It runs with hardly any lag. The possibilties are endless.
You don't need a virtual machine.
My personal solution was just to not support IE5, but that doesn't work for everyone.

I've heard of the air-cooled mouse but never saw one -- looks, err, cool.
The original was (mostly) a joke. I have a gamepad with a built in fan, and it's surprisingly nice.

No. DDR3 will require an AM3 motherboard.
However, it will be possible to put an AM3 processor in an AM2 motherboard and use DDR2 memory.

Your card supports it fine.
For particular games, see here.

Do you have a volt meter? Are you sure that you don't have a 6 volt circuit? Any labels on the electronic box?
You and your crazy logical solutions....
Voltage is floating at about 3.2, Amps around 4.2. I guess the question is when I find an adapter do I need to worry about the Amps? As I understand it Amps measure merely capacity and when I switch to an AC adapter wouldn't the capacity essentially be infinite?
The AC adapter will need to be built to handle however much current the device draws, otherwise it will either:
1. Cut off (if it's well built)
2. Catch fire (it it's not)
Every adapter you're likely to see has a current limit stamped on it somewhere.
Where are you getting 4.2 Amps?

You need to FORMAT the hard drive to make the hard drive read on XP, but not PARTITION it. Partition means to break it up into logical divisons. For example, my 250GB drive has 20GB, 50GB, 50GB, and 100GB partitions.
In short, just hook the drive up, run disk management and format as NTFS (or FAT32 if you have a need to read the data outside of XP). Don't bother breaking the disk up into partitions
You partition it into one partition.
-
Why must I partion? Also which HDD should I partion. I have one wiht all my data and xp installed the other has been formated already. That needs to be partioned??
The drive with XP on it has already been partitioned (that's a required step for putting XP on it). You would need to partition the new drive for any operating system to make use of it (assuming it really is a completely new drive).
You don't have to partition, and it wouldn't make sense since those drives are so small.Drive size has absolutely nothing to do with the need to partition.
Aluvus said I would need to partion.Will the HDD be faster as a slave or if I get an external HDD case hooking it via USB?
The drive will be much faster as a slave, and will probably stay cooler and therefore last longer, as well.

Yes, there's no real difference between the two as far as the motherboard is concerned. That said, it's always wise to look up the list of supported processors on the board manufacturer's site and be sure.
