Well, here goes.
I hate vista, so I run XP still. My tower was getting a bit tired, maybe 3yrs old (or more) so my buddy sold me his newer tower minus HD and cd drive. Swapped the HD and cd from the old unit in and fired it up. Turns out the OB sound card in his newer tower is setup for vista only so XP will not work with it. I bought a cheapy sound card (4 bucks shipped from japan!) but have yet to install it... Busy doing anything else! Might get win 7 put on it, who knows. I like the interface with win 7.
I am cheap, I even found a very old pc with a 20gig HD and had a stripped copy of xp on it and will use the old tower with that HD to run internet only in my hobby room. That way I can pull up rcm and manuals and such without having to go downstaris to the office pc. Yes I am very cheap, but I hate junking stuff that still worrks, or at least has potential!
