Media Center

[Rusty]

Hi, I am wanting to purchase Windows XP Media Center
Edition, and I have an ATi All In WOnder Radeon 7500 64mb
tv tuner card. Before I go out and purchase WIndows XP
MCE, I would like to know that it is compatible with my
card, is it? Will I have to download specific drivers or
something? I want to be able to use the Media Center
software that came with it.



Thank You

Doesnt matter b/c Media Center is ONLY sold on new PC's. You CAN't just buy
the software.

Media Center Edition is only available bundled with a Media Center computer.
It is not available as a stand alone upgrade.

There are some very limited situations where you may be able to purchase an
upgrade from the manufacturer of your computer if you fall under...

"A select group of Microsoft Windows XP Media Center Edition personal
computer manufacturers offer an upgrade from Windows XP Media Center Edition
to Microsoft Windows XP Media Center Edition 2004. You must be a user of a
PC licensed for Windows XP Media Center Edition from the same PC
manufacturer to upgrade."
