good move.

I would recommend doing a fresh install of XP Pro. Dell tends to load their computers with lots of non-essential services and programs- these could get in the way.

 

Are you tuning Camels over there?

Nice computer!

 

actually one will be on base sunday.

 

i'm going to go through and remove alot of it myslef, i dont that with all my comps.

i wont be able to mess with Pro until i get back in the states.

 

I hope you got one with a serial port.

 

The 8600 doesn't have a serial port. The 8500 I had that was stolen had a serial port, but Dell removed it in the 8600 model.

 

im going to buy this too:
