My wife just got a $400 laptop ($400??? ......yep, a Dell) and it has W7. She's delighted. The thing is lightening fast. Mine is bogged donw from previous problems.

I have a tower that has RCA jacks up the gazoo along with 4 USBs, fire wire and 4 card readers. I have not seen this configuration in a replacement for less than serious money (talking Apple serious).

What I need is to rebuild this as an off line media editor and get some cheap ass tower for online. When I get the money, this will be done. And, I hope to criminy I end up w/o some 60 processes running all at once.

You know, as little as I know, I won't be fooling with the registry. I just want a virgin one.
