I got a ton of new hardware and had to reformat and reinstall windows. Well I have a full install cd (lost key) and I have a upgrade (lost win98). So, I used the full install CD with a fake/illegal key or w/e hoping that when I activate I could just give my upgrade product #. Well it seems I can't. So what can I do now to avoid activating or activate with my upgrade key? I already called MS about getting my full key back and stuff and thats a no go. Damn assholes. Made me verify everything and go through a ton of shit to end up saying no they can't give it to me.

I am sure you'll find your key...it's lying around somewhere right?
No I threw it out, it was the auth thing you stick to your computer and I must've lost it.
Oh well, I cracked it anyway and that should solve the problem.. God damn miscrosoft I spent another hour on the phone to be told to contact my retailer.

/slap.
Will they play all the games out and run a wide range of software?
With Wine they will.
Games are what consoles are for. If you want to game, get a PS2 or XBox or whatever the hell Nintendo makes.
Gamecube.
I don't enjoy gaming on a console at all compared to gaming on a computer.

Counter-Strike: Source just wouldn't be the same would it?
