You are right that XP should work - or you can install it on a virtual machine. I am not sure what advantages you get from running vmware from a partition (unless of course you also want to dual boot). My experience with video card is: stick with Nvidia as long as AMD/ATI hasn't cured the driver problems - however this is a Linux advice! You are correct about the psu and probably right about the card. It may be a card vs board problem (I had a motherboard that just would not stand a Nvidia 6600GT, however it locked, it did not shutdown). I'm afraid I can't help more as far as Windows is concerned: the latest version I booted from HD was 3.1 and the latest I run in vmware is 2000. Good luck, Thierry -- [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list
