Vista and Netgear DG834Gv4

[Philip]

Any known problems with these 2 or should it be a simple job of plugging the network cable from my router in my PC and off we go?

[psp83]

I've not had any problems with my vista and netgear dg834g v3 router.

[psp83]

only trouble you may get is seeing a shared folder on a xp machine. but this is a problem between vista and xp and plently about it on google.

Just remember to change the name of your workgroup on Vista to MSHOME as that's what XP uses.

[Philip]

Eizo monitors are perfect for the job.

sounds like a plan

[Rik]

Kill two birds with one stone, so to speak... 

[Philip]

just out of interest Paul  which PSU did you get, for future reference you understand 

[psp83]

it was a old 650w out from the spares box.

but most people say the Corsair TX 650W is a good psu but make sure it fits your case

Theoretically, routers should be OS independent, but then theory doesn't always equal reality.

Still, you should have no problems, Philip.
