A little thing like that was where most of us started getting interested in 
hardware :)
Could be a big step or a little one, hehe

Sorry. I just had to share this. I just finished walking my older Brother 
through "Let's install
a new video card."  He did not have a 'video card' actually. He was operating 
via an onboard
nVidia Geforce 6100 logic inside his Northbridge chip. Fine. We did the bios 
stuff to defeat his
onboard Geforce 6100. He then did the install of his new GTX630 video card into 
his
open PCIE_16 slot. He moved his VGA cable from its' old m/b connector to his 
new card.
(yes, I suggested changing this cable for the DVI cable that came with his 24in 
Dell monitor.
He has now done that and is very happy. I salute his persistence. He has 
previously changed
a nic card, and installed his first NAS (which I built for him).
I've invited him to join our List, but, I think he is still wondering about 
that. Perhaps one day.
TNX,
Duncan
