I opened the mailbox and there it was. A most ordinary looking cardboard package. What could be in it. Well, of course I knew, it was that package I have lamented about for 8 business days now. My faithful bride, not sharing my period of doubt, apprehension, guilt, and exuberance. Now, I craftily and deftly prise open the cardboard box, which offers little resistance to my efforts. There, I see it. It's MINE! Oh, but now the quandary. What to do with it. My PC, Zippy 1 as it is known as, has P2 functioning perfectly. Every morsel I desire is there for my taking, and, even more important, I'm patiently awaiting the delivery of my new PC; YES, all new and encompassing!
So do I scrub P2, and Load P3, and then reload again on my new PC? Or, do I dozily wait for the new PC, and load it with P#3.Oh, what to do, decisions, decisions!
 
Are you insane??? What are you waiting for? Set it up! Now!

I received it at work and set it up right away on my old laptop just to see how it looks. Go for it!
 
Well, as I'm still waiting, here's some advice:

Install it on Zippy 1 and post the pc to me.
 
Wouldn't one....

...be transferring the old hard drive to the new pc anyways?
If you have a windowed, thumbscrewed case, with clip in hard drive bays,
you would only need to purchase 1 sata cable, possibly ten minutes of
your time and bang it on in there! (good custom pc will have 2 sata cables).

Then you can play P3 on your new pc without even having installed it!
(to IT).

Seriously, the most difficult part about a hard drive transfer is identifying
which of your two OS's is which. (if they are the same OS & partition
not specifically named on original install).
Then you get to see P3 on different systems, possibly OS's and make
comparisons. Thats good bang for your buck!
CheerZ!
 
Im in the same boat British. But, after waiting like a 5 year old at Christmas for so long I couldnt contain myself. I had to install it, but when I get my new computer, I'll definately be in for a visual treat. So plop that disk down in the DVD drive and fire her up!
