Computer upgrade

Went to Fry's and got myself a new video card yesterday... NVIDIA GeForce FX 5500, 256MB, 8x AGP. Big difference from what I had before (NVIDIA GeForce4 MX 440, 64MB, 4x AGP). But my motherboard only supported up to 4x AGP, so Donald convinced me to switch to his old mobo and CPU.

Only problem was with stupid M$ Windows, which refused to recognize the new mobo and wouldn't boot. Ended up having to reinstall Windows (again). It's like everytime I upgrade, I have to reinstall. *#&$*@*7

Got most things back now, though for some strange reason, I can't log into Earthlink's webmail with Firefox. Was fine with Mozilla, though.
