Nope. It's 500 points or $5. A 2000 point Nintendo card is around $20. It's also best to use the progressive scan/component rgb cable to give 720p res.

Thanks Jun. Is this a monthly/annual subscription oh one time fee lang?
Does the wii comes with component? I have to check kasi when I set it up to my lcd tv parang composite lang yung cable that came with it. I'll check when I get back home. Di ba component will give you up to 1080p? or is it the Wii that is only capable of doing 720p?

Oh. Connect a usb keyboard to enter text. Too bad a usb mouse isn't supported. But the Wii's controller is excellent as a pointing device. It's way better than gamepads.

Thanks again Jun, I have 2 usb keyboards just laying around just might try that.

It should be one time. Just make sure you don't format the Wii's 512mb of flash storage or else everything would be lost.

The component rgb is separate. Gamestop sells it for $34.

The Wii's max res is 720p. Considering the Wii's graphics aren't really state of the art, 720p is fine. 720p is also just the right res to make web surfing very comfy.

I hope the 7000 is way better. the 6801 was awful...

Build 7000 is quite responsive here. It's definitely quicker (not by much) over an XP install (with optimized video drivers) which itself was snappy on this pc. In fact, Win 7 Beta Build 7000 almost feels like a "skinned" XP except the real XP would've lagged a bit.

I'm still testing things out. Some early nitpicks: My Desktop Gadgets doesn't seem to be working at the moment. I also get an incompatibility message with Norton Antivirus Corporate Edition although the app itself is working and updating fine....... But hey, it's a beta.

I see, it's good to know it is improving. thanks.

It's pretty good. No hardware issues so far although most of my hardware dates back from 2005 or prior. The only exceptions are the HP printer and Samsung LCD from last year both of which work fine.

The only reason I was using Win XP still was Pacific Fighters. But now.... Yaay!

vista drivers based ba hanap niya? because the 6801 it was... they say Xp based daw eh... kaya nga na enganyo ako mag download... eh vista drivers rin naman pala...

Let's see. If I recall correctly, I was able to use XP drivers in Vista. So, Vista drivers should work and XP drivers may work with Win 7.

Also, my Toshiba laptop came with Vista Home Premium. When I "downgraded" it to XP Home for several months, I was able to use some of the Vista hardware drivers with XP Home. I can't remember which ones though.

was it forced driver install? kung simple, basic installation kasi, it will not detect an XP driver.

just installed a modded XP called "Windows XP Extreme Se7en" on my old rig. it's a lite version/loaded with themes





it is fast, even a bit faster on my gaming than my last clean installed XP. it even looks very nice for an XP. but I remove some programs/themes that significantly reduce performance...

it is a bit buggy, but fixable though...

I'd say it's a forced driver install (the downgrade to XP). The devices worked fine with no hiccups using Vista drivers. My laptop was supposed to be non-downgradeable to XP. But, I did a search for Toshiba XP laptops with similar hardware to mine and used their drivers for the devices which didn't take Vista drivers.

For Win7Beta, Windows Update found all the drivers online right off the bat. I added the laptop utilities from the Vista restore dvd's.
