Re: replace os

buy from a reputable reseller. There's a whole list of ones we recommend on
my blog, but off the top of my head:
NCIX.com (US and Canada)
Directron.com (US)
NewEgg.com
ZipZoomFly.com
planetamd64.com

Re: replace os

Charlie,
thanks for your response, but, since i've never dealt with most of the
resellers (purchasing an os), i can't know if they're reputable, this is the
reason i asked what i should look for? do i need an coa on oem software, is
just having a license good enough?

Re: replace os

Buy from one of the ones I listed. They're all reasonably priced, and all
are reputable.
