Re: to upgrade or not

Tech-Archive recommends: Fix windows errors by optimizing your registry



There's a link to a list of MCE 2005 compatible hardware on my web site at www.MediaCenterStuff.com - either on the Links page or the Downloads page (it's an XL file). However, last I checked, that list was so incomplete as to be basically worthless. You'd get much better results by posting a list of your hardware here and let us respond...

Infact You have to purchase a MCE 2005 copy and go for a Clean installation.

You can get it here:-
http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16832116049

As regards moving to MCE 2005 I would surely suggest you to go
ahead.It's awesome.

Alternatively you can simply upgrade to Vista Home Premium/Ultimate
edition provided you have all the necessary supporting/compatible hardwares.
