    NTLDR is missing

    OK, so I must have had a brain fart. I think my Windows CD went bad. I just replaced my mobo and cpu. BB had a good deal on a Seagate HD, 120 GB for $40 AR. I can always use another drive and I fucked up my other one anyway. So I installed the drive, and I have the windows CD in the CDROM...

    WMV HD hardware requirements

    I'm really interested in getting a couple WMV HD DVD's. But I'm concerned about the HW req. MS says a 2.4 Ghz processor or equivalent. Does that mean an Athlon 2400+ would be considered an equivalent? I only have a 1700+ OC'd to 1667 Mhz but I'm willing to upgrade the CPU provided it's...
