Okay, maybe I don't feel so bad about the sound card, (I want an m-audio card that I can plug various components in like midi anyways. I'm a musician too.) However for the video card, I was still left to choose between integrated video or the NVIDIA GeForce 7400. A few months ago when they gave one the option to have XP installed on the laptop, the list of video cards to choose from wasn't this pitiful. *Sigh* It's just a headache to know my choices are limited to parts only compatible with an OS that I won't even use on the laptop!
