OK now I've worked out how to keep the old PC spacewise there are some things I want to do with it.
I want a TV tuner and would far rather one inside the tower unit on a spare PCI slot which I have 3 of. Any potential issues with this and how will I know if I have PCI or PCI Express? Any other info I need to look at on the PC to see if a specific TV card is compatible. I assume they have a remote? How does this work if the card is inside the PC round the back?
One thing I was going to do anyway if we kept this PC was to pop in some extra RAM. Thought it was a simple plug in job but find my 32bit Windows Home Premium only supports the 3GB I have already. Seems I need to upgrade to Windows 7 64bit to put in more RAM. Is Windows 7 OK and will I face any problems with doing this. In simple terms what is the procedure? Do I need to look into the spec of my PC to see if it is Windows 7 compatible?
BTW PC is... HP dual core pentium 2.2Ghz. 500GB hard drive. 3GB ram. Nvidia GeForce 8500GT (512MB). Vista home premium 32bit
