Could the program also function as an upgrader?
I mean here if hardware gets changed can it upgrade these settings???
I would imagine a videocard change will equally stump a beginner (g).
And I still think if not done yet that some program like this if run
on an installed system could be used to do loads of stuff people would
like to do in an easy way, like soundcards and stuff like that.
I know, we can do it by hand but it should be easier for the
beginners.
