Hmm.. I AM having a dvd burner installed, so I guess that's an upgrade of sorts!

I'm getting my new system tomorrow... I can't wait to get rid of this beast! Does anyone know of a good way to transfer files from one computer to another? Burning CD's work, or is there a less time consuming way to do things? |

[/QUOTE]It falls under burning CDs, but if you use a program like WinRAR or WinACE to compress the files, you can use a lot less CDs, and consequently, time. Or you could just throw a quick network together and transfer files that way. I got an upgrade recently, and I'm loving it. F.E.A.R. on maxed settings is something to behold.
