Reply #17: Finally built the computer, went with 32-bit Vista

[JustABozoOnThisBus]

Not gutsy enough to try 64-bit, after reading comments.

I'm still a long way from having it "done", but so far, so good.

After changing the group name from "workgroup" to the name I use on the other machine, the two machines link up and can share the printer.

Now to load "audacity" and see if it'll edit sound.

Then to download "open office", see how that does under vista.

Thanks for all the opinions and advice. I'll undoubtedly be back looking for help or sympathy.
