Re: Chris P building a new PC
If it works first boot up, well then that's a relief. I hate waiting for that VERY first POST(power on self test) after spending 100's of dollars and it won't go.

Re: Chris P building a new PC
So I did complete it 2 days ago. Installed XP then Vista and now still have to fix the master boot record so both come up as options. Vista gave me trouble nearly instantly. 1st attempt encountered an error during install, 2nd attempt worked, but all of a sudden I was unable to install anything(!) and after the 3rd attempt (set up memory properly this time
) and not installing the motherboard drivers Vista finally started to work like a dream. Played BF2 last night for a little bit, because I was working overtime, and installed Crysis... the graphics are phenomenal compared to what I had (AMD Athlon XP 2800+, 1024MB Kingston HyperX and an ancient FX5700). So right now I'm installing the DFP and LFS and should be online shortly.... ![Very Happy :D](./images/smilies/icon_biggrin.gif)

Re: Chris P building a new PC
I decided against installing Windows 7. I really don't have the time or energy to mess around with it.
Still haven't sorted out the MBR so XP and Vista are bootable. I think I'll just get rid of XP. Vista works fine. I can't think of any reason why I should keep XP other than maybe wanting to install really old games, but I very much doubt I would do that.
