"Thanks to PC911"


  

          

Thanks to all at PC911 for all I learnt in the last year.

Finally completed building my Computer 30 minutes ago. Still on my old system because my friend who is giving me the WinXP OS will bring it tomorrow morning.

Feeling nervous about whether the Computer will start.

Specs:
P4 1.7GHZ
512 MB DDR Ram
Geforce 3 ti500( not yet installed)
Audigy Sound Card

The rest is pretty mundane. CD Rom, CDRW etc.

Anyway, have backed up saved games folder and Favorites from my current Computer on Floppies. Can I install into new Computer? Is the procedure same as Win98?

Is there any precautions to take while installing WinXP or do I just put in CDRom and follow instructions?

Thanks, hope it works. Never knew I had it in me. Ofcourse the twelve year old next door did offer some advice.

Much the same, only easier.

do I just put in CDRom and follow instructions?

Set your bios to boot from CD and follow instructions. M$ did a better job all around this time.

Congratulations on one heck of a PC. You will be rockin round the clock with that one. Hope you have a great time. Tell us all about it when you get it up and running. One last thought though, did you buy that copy of XP or just renting

Given by a friend. He got a complimentary copy. Same guy who gave me the P4 chip. Actually was planning on a Athlon XP1600 and a Radeon 8500. Then discovered only the OEM was available. Ended up getting a deal on this card from another guy. Anyway heard that Radeon drivers were not up to snuff. Who knows.
