Can you do a clean install from Vista upgrade...

Supply a key or the disc from a previous version? Just curious. IN the past all we had to do was put in the disc of a previous version. Inserting a disc allowed the prevous version's key to be transferred. Not that you were supposed to...but you could!

Can you do a clean install from Vista upgrade...

Basically, I'm asking if we buy an upgrade version of Vista, will we be able to do a clean install as long as we can prove we have a prior version of Windows by sticking in the CD or di I need to buy the Full Retail Version? Any ideas! REX

Potential Hot Deal on AMD CPU/Mobo/XP x64 Combo

TAMPA SHOW PEOPLE DO NOT PANIC!!!!!!! I just talked to the concierge desk at the hotel and he stated that he has received more than a few calls over the e-mail. The actual date for the show is 6/14/05 (Tuesday). I guess the e-mail was sent out on the wrong day. REX :shocked:

Potential Hot Deal on AMD CPU/Mobo/XP x64 Combo

:D OK, please, please forgive my laziness, but I don't want to read through all of this for my simple question. I have ordered the Desktop Bundle and will need a new PCI-E video card to go with it. I was going to order one from Newegg and thought I'd pose this question before I did in...

5700 Ultra review

I believe BFG is a by product of the now defunct Visiontek. Someone gobbled up Visiontek's assets, moved their employees over to the newly formed BFG and started pumping out cards. If they are going on the styles of Visionteks' cards, the cards should be great. i remember the Visiontek cards...

fx 5900 or fx 5700 ultra

BFG Asylum forthe 5900 and eVGA for the 5700. Looks like reference boards. The 5900 I got had little to no software: NVDVD, some really cool demos, the drivers and Cool3D. For you case modders, the twin fans on the 5900 have blue LEDs on them and look good bouncing off the copper heatsink...

5700 Ultra review

OK...I have a chance to buy both cards for the same price. Best Buy has the Fx 5700 Ultra for $219.00 before a $20 rebate and the 5900 (non-ultra) for $249.00 before a $50.00 rebate, bringing them both to $199.00. I'm not enough of a video guru to know which one to get. Logic tells me that the...
