i started at 17, programming c++ at college, its was pretty fun near the end, not so fun to begin with but when u understand u can apreciate it.
then in my hnc games development course i done some java , failed it :), never liked java.

well the upgrade works, but u still loose everything going straight from windows xp, id just do a format and fll reinstall anyways, but remeber to back ur data off the pc
i have had both amd and intel systems, i prefered the intel one for gaming, you can tell the difference, the cpu packs a bigger punch, i still use a core 2 duo for gaming there great, if i do ever upgrade in the future i will buy an amd phenom tho.…
try downloading the hiren boot cd, version 10.1, it will be free, BUT illeagle to use, because most of the software is pirated, didnt bother me tho.

i think ill stick with safari, although it can be a baw with ebay sometimes
get one of the latet logitek ones, there awsome

and your old tower might be crappy for airflow. especialy if u put a decent graphics card in it, i suggest saving a little, cause it would be so worth it

shuv em on ebay with a reserve
dont take this the wrong way, the website looks kl, but its not needed when we have engadget
i honestly dont know, there isnt anything i want nor need
700 watts is good enuff, and if ur gonna be using it for gaming i suggest u get a better graphics card, at least a 260gtx or a 4870 or higher
i dont think there is a legal one, i can rent movies legaly, itunes, netflix but not download to keep, sorry dude
