I tend to do it anyway just so I'm sure I'm getting a stable system and know that any old controller software (FDD, HDD, RAID etc) don't conflict with the new drivers. Having two drives in my sys I just dump what I want on one and then whack in the Win XP disk and format. Besides although I call it an upgrade this was more or less a new system, a new case, PSU, vid card, memory, mobo, CPU, HDD Having two teenage kids means I tend to squirrel away money here and there then do one big upgrade when I can rather than in dribs and drabs.

I don't know what you mean about Win Me.. its great, a wonderful operating system that is the pinnacle of Microsoft's development. It's incredibly stable, hack proof and wakes you up in the morning with a fresh cup of coffee

LOL! I bet it's Lazs's favourite OS - Windows-ME.

Just got the replacement and it works fine. This card is awesome!

Good to hear Six. Hard not to like that card.

I've got a tape of the Patriots superbowl victory and i'm recording clips from it now. The volume on the recordings is a bit loud, so i'm going to have to tinker with the settings. Can't wait to get the cable TV hooked up:D

You could not have gotten a better video card for that type of work.

Sixpence... interesting to see that you had a dead card to begin with, solved by getting a new one. I'm just about to do the same thing.

Hehe, the place that supplied mine wants to ship the self same card back to me (and charge me £10 for the privilege of having looked at it, plus another £10 shipping - in addition to the £7 I had to spend to return it). Why would I want to do that when I know it's not going to work? Have also heard stories of guys being charged for "repairs" when in fact a replacement unit was sent out (the buyer's secret mark was missing). So I don't trust these email order type places, at least not when something goes wrong.
