Id do what Reef said, Jess... If you can swing it, you can get a pc for $350-400 that would blow the old machine out of the water. Computers aren't worth upgrading anymore. The technology just goes so fast, and computers are so cheap now, that you'd spend a ton upgrading and still not have half the performance of a sub $500 PC.

And don't let the Dell or HP guy try to talk you into a $1500 or $2000 PC either. You simply don't need it. You buy a $500 jobber, and slap some more ram into it and leave it at that.

jesse, you are not f*ed.. im sure if you message bmx, he can hook you up with some sort of pirated copy of vista, then you can use your graphics card :lol:

on another note.. i do have a gig of ddr2 800 ram, and an nvidia evga 7600gt pci express, sli capable graphics card , which is more than enough to run heat and the other racing games with high settings.

Glad you were able to get a new machine, and it's great that it has xp on it.
