Perhaps a more relevant question is, does longhorn NEED to be saved?
Paxx, this card (as well as the 6800 series) is aimed at the 'enthusiast' gamers...i.e., not your average home user. Mick, this 7800GTX will only be the top of the line nvidia card until the R520 is released...I belive nvidia is saving the '7800 ultra' (not sure if that will be the name, but I suspect will have 32pipes) so it can compete directly with ATi's new card. Nvidia wouldnt let ATi beat them so easily...
http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.asp?Item=N82E16814150102 Thats a 6800GT...LESS than $300. The ultra you posted is one of the 512mb editions...(aka overkill) http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.asp?Item=N82E16814150067 ^This one is more reasonibly priced.
Hus, where do you get those prices? 6800GT's retail for only $300.
Or a Geforce 6600 or 6600GT...They run at $200 and below. I believe they support Pixel shader 3.0 as well...

The PCI-E cards will be released first...Then AGP later on. The push is definately for PCI-E to become the new standard. GR Jr, if youre talking about PCI-Express cards, the answer is no. Currently, any AGP8x card will perform pretty much the same as its PCI-E equivilent. Ive got a PCI-E 6800GT...It kicks butt.
Thats great!
Its been said before...but Ill say it again... Welcome back.

Frankly, I don't think you're going to get anything off the drive, but.... Ah, I wouldnt be so sure... If it's showing the XP boot screen and still has enough of XP left to give me a friggin' BSOD...I think there's a good chance the drive is not (totally) corrupted. <img src="http://images.stardock.com/
...youngsters....yikes... Sheesh, quit twistin' my words around. Well, It'd be nice to get the whole thing running (not crucial though), but there are some files on the drive (Pictures, music etc.) that need
The laptop doesnt have a CD-burner (plain old 24x CD-rom)...Or a floppy drive. With knoppix, could I hook up to the LAN here and transfer the files that way?
What confused me was the lack of the word 'it' in the sentance 'take the drive out and plug into another good XP computer.' If you had said plug 'it' into another XP computer, I would have gotten it the 1st time. Ok, well hrm...The HDD in the laptop is a IBM 'Travelstar' and doesnt have the regular connectors like your typical HDD in a desktop...As a result

Hey yrag, didnt see your post until now... First off, what is the 'recovery console' I see mentioned in cerebro's post? (If this is the case, restart the computer to the Recovery Console, and then use the chkdsk /r command to repair the volume.) That sounds handy, but how can I access it? I dont have an OEM cd (this comp was bought off of ebay a
