Hey,
Could anybody tell me how to transfer files from my old computer system (WinXP SP2) to my new computer (Vista Ultimate 64-bit)?
One of my friends told me to get a cross-over ethernet cable, but I have no idea where to purchase one, let alone what such a cable is. Someone enlighten me. 
Anyway, are there USB cables that has a low cost that I could just purchase, connect the two computers, and then transfer all my old video, music and .rar files from the old to the new computer, or is it more complex than that?
Cheers,
Bassa
