I want to get vista and use the directx graphics could someone plese recomend me a cheepish upgrade for a mobo+cpu+ ram from what i have got below
i have an 8800gts pcie graphics card and lots of hds aslo have a corsair 520watt modular psu
was thinking of going intel this time been out fo the loop for a bit not sure whats good these days .

no mater what i try i cant get vists to run with the combo i have atm

asrock 939 dual sata mobo
4400+ amd dual core
2x1 gig of balistix ddr ram

tia
 
well ill try

if i use a sata drive it keeps asking for drivers and asrock dont make driver for that mobo. i tried using some drivers for the 939 dual sata but it gets so far and i get the bsod

if i use an ide i have its saying cannot find a valid volume i tried formatting it still says the same

so i gave up
 
could you also tell me what a good cooler would be for this spec please ?

also would i be able to use my balistix ram for the time being ?

yes I have got those drivers , but to my understanding you need to have them installed and install vista from winxp and do a clean install.
This is where im having the problems , it goes though its setup and I either get incorrect volume on hd, When i try to install on ad ide HD
Orwhen i use Sata i get just past the coping files needed then BSOD saying system halted if this is the first time you have seen this....

I will take another look at it see if im missing something somewhere
 
mananged to get vitsa working only in 32bit and not in 64bit
I have posted a couple of questions about this in the windows forum area .
