with Windows on it, but also all the drivers and custom Compaq programes. I later recieved a free Windows 98 upgrade disk from Compaq, which I installed onto my machine. I want to install Windows ME onto my new custom built system. Please don't tell me to...

New custom built system not working with ATI 5870, please help. Dear all, I have just received delivery of a new i7 920 computer today with XfX 5870 graphics card after a long wait. Unfortunately when it was delivered to me today, I turned it on to find...

Advice on my custom to be built system. Hi all, I am building this new system. I think I have it pretty good, but if you have any opinions or better options please let me know. I am replacing my old Dell 8250, 3.06 HT, 1.5GB RAMBUS 1066, WD 500GB, ATI HD...
