I'm hoping for help putting together a new system, it has been years since I last kept up with this... Grateful for any help!
1) What will you be doing with this PC? Gaming? Photoshop? Web browsing? etc
Gaming CoH2, Orcs must die1/2/unchained, new Total Warhammer looks interesting, web...
Yes, it used to be called a repair install. Now you have to select the upgrade option, if you have old install media without Service Packs you'll have to slipstream the SPs. At least now you have some searchwords to use! :)
I have a FE2111SB right now with Win 7, no problems whatsoever... Have used Naviset in the past but this install I didn't even bother with it.
I'm sorry that I am no help, but at least I can tell you that is does work for me...

I have a Captivate, there's plenty of stuff to do to it. XDA forum has a Captivate specific section, check it out.
Ohh yes there are different ways to root it, many different ROMs, various ways of sideloading apps, etc. And if you do the lag fix it gets unbelievably responsive.
