well it's on it's way...

HP Pavilion M7760N Media Center PC w/ 2.13GHz Intel Core 2 Duo Processor - Wal-Mart

well Wal * Mart has the same system for sale...

I waited to chat live with NewEgg and when I finally got a live person he could not answer any questions if the Vista Disc comes with the Puter,,,he just referred me to the HP site... You may want to go to walmart and see if the disc is seperate... Vista is being offered like XP and will have a OEM license and the same activation program...

You are buying a right to Vista and you will be able to reload it but,,,IDK How far HP will be up your ass on it,,,meaning is it a repair through HP or can you just reinstall from a disc...

i guess i'll find out if it has a disk in it when it gets here.... cuz walmart doesn't (well atleast ours) have any of the shit it advertises on the site... (well except the main things like console games and systems) they have a couple of computers up there, but the ones they have are very basic... one my wife has, another is one similar...

meh in short, i know walmart doesn't have it in stock up there, so i wouldn't be able to go up and there and look at the box and tell any better.. i'm not really worried about vista much, i really love xp, and i know vista's gonna be filled with bugs for a while from now... i was just saying i was gonna make some system restore disks when i first get it, so if i ever need (there won't be a wanting to back to vista, i'll only do it if say, every game they start putting out has to have vista to run or some shit) to put vista back on it i'd have that option...

otherwise i have no intrest in vista what so ever...

but yeah, even if i was to buy it through wal mart i'd either have to order it through the site and have it sent here, or go up there and have them order one for me that would be sent to the store... cuz i know the comps they have up there (everytime i go, i check up on all the electronics, to see what's looking good, what they have, ect... btw they had a really nice cheap flatscreen lcd monitor o.0) and they don't have that one... if they did lol, i wouldn't of even been ordering it, i just woulda went up there today and bought it and had it...

oh and you still haven't answered.. when i have the comp and i'm ready to put xp on it, do i go to my computer, then right click the drive and click format then just pop in the cd or what?

Ok,,,I just got off the phone with a person from Hp in India... She "And I asked her 3 times" said you will be getting the Vista Home Permium Disc to reload the OS in the future...

Yes just put the xp disc in the drive and turn on the puter... first you may need to go into the BIOS and select in there somewhere "first boot device CDRom or DVDRom" then when you turn on the computer you will see "press any key to boot from cdrom" You may not have to do the BIOS thing because the Puter might sense the XP disc and boot to it without the BIOS setting...

in there you need to format the C drive and install XP to it... Once formatted Vista is wiped...

k.. and lol thanks skink o.0 didn't have to go that far outta your way..

I try to finish everything I start,,,I'm just anal that way...

why don't you build your own computer?

i was going to, and i was too confused (i have a bad habbit of always buying parts that dont' work together...)

ok dude dont be pissy

this is the reason why people should build thier own system, strait up slipnot if you return that, and build your own computer it will be twice the machine.

i have never bought a store computer, i built my very first computer with great success and it was very easy, seriously if you return that computer ill help you build a way better machine.

it really is a decent computer but you got ripped on graphics big time for the money.

that computer fits my needs perfectly.. this isn't the first computer i've bought.. i'm stickin with it.. i've known i was going to be buying that computer for quite a few months now... (i did all my research...)

i just realized something... this one doesn't have the same graphics that the one on fry's had.. but i'm just gonna have to get a card for it..
