I upgraded from an onboard GeForce 7 series GPU to a GTS 250 512MB GPU and my MOBO has a PCI express 1.0 and this card is a 2.0 and the difference is night and day, but than again compared to what I was running was so obselete it wasn't funny, but I can run Call of Duty 5 World at War with 60fps and up on average, and thats with most of the textures on hight although with my monitor I can only run a resolution of 1280x1024 so that may have something to do with it. But games look amazing none the less.

That was a horrid analogy... Night and day are supposed to compare two COMPLETELY different things lol... But in all honesty you won't really see a difference.
That thing is going to be sluggish even surfing the web.

Got a pentium 4 2.2ghz w/ 512mb RAM running ubuntu and it actually isn't that bad at web surfing. Use your old computer as a firewall, a web server, or a basic web surfer (perhaps one to do online banking with?)
If I have the file for a blu-ray movie on my computer, have the graphics card to run it, but don't have a blu-ray reader/burner, how do I watch the file? What would I use? (because I don't have the burner, I am going to have a friend make a digital copy of MY movies that I own)
I feel under aprreciated. These threads always hurt my feelings, I'm never metioned. Am i not important enough?! lol. I agree with Pirate700. I aslso like LS(lots of numbers)then something else.ieatnoobs18
If you have vista or win 7 installed you have to use the vista type based boot loader cant use XP's use that guide and easy bcd to fix your issue.04dcarraher
The thing is, I deleted Windows 7, reformatted the Partition it was on and replaced with ubuntu (which I am keeping) but it still gives me the option to boot into 7 even though I removed it. (when I click that option it realizes it is gone)
So I was planning on dual booting Windows XP and Windows 7, so I partitioned my hdd with 40gb set aside for Windows7 and 400 something for Windows XP. Now, when I boot, it asks me to load windows 7 or older version of windows. Only it won't load the earlier version (xp) when I choose that option.
How do I remove 7, Keep XP, and not lose my files on XP?
Thanks

Try inserting the xp disc, then act as if you are about to install it again. When you get to the delete partition screen, delete the 40gigs that you partitioned off to install Windows 7. Did this, fixed it to where I can access XP again, but it still gives me a screen asking me if I want to load Windows 7 or earlier. How do I keep it from doing the bootloader for vista and reset the bootloader to XP?
