Not all of them. Halo 2 is vista only. Shadowrun may be as well, if I remember correctly.

As I see it:

Cons

Building a new rig with my tax return :D Anyways i've decided on a P4 2.4 obivously to be paired with an 845PE board, with 512MB PC2700 ram of course.

I've decided on this one, actually:

ATI is pretty on the ball now. I haven't had a Nvidia card for awhile so I can't comment on their current driver quality, though I assume it's excellent.

It's not better, not worse, about the same. It's still an interlaced, analog TV signal so there isn't much a monitor can do to improve the quality.

I love my 8500, and i've yet to have a problem, other than Morrowind when it first came out.

Plextor's still my favorite, though they can be pricey.

ER, doesn't Win2k have a partition manager utility portion in setup? I know XP does, just as simple as deleting the NTFS partitions in XP setup then fdisking in DOS..

I don't see a CPU ruining a mobo, though I suppose if the CPU REALLY fries it could damage the CPU socket.

As far as vice versa, I don't know if a mobo candirectly do it, but if something kills...

It doesn't matter if you have a 10Ghz CPU, that card is too slow.
