Got XP disk and monitor.

K your good then.

[Night Fox]

Is your monitor 16:9 or 16:10?

NONONONONO
Don't install XP.
It's super outdated now, and there's no point buying a 6870 if you're just going to install XP as XP only supports up to DirectX 9. It would be a big mistake.

[Night Fox]

yeah get W7
it's so good

though you do have to get used to the new forgetass windows explorer
once you're used to it though (which doesn't take long), it's really nice

[Lugnut]

he would have to buy w7 tho

[Night Fox]

he would have to buy w7 tho

>implying it's not worth it

[Ethan]

It's only $100 on Newegg if you get Home Premium 64bit OEM (please do).
It is worth it.

[Night Fox]

I think it's kind of weird that they call the lowest edition "premium"
lol

Well with Vista, wasn't there a Home Basic?
Also Starter is the lowest edition.
