[QUOTE="contherad, post: 1607937, member: 334037"] sixcylinder, because you are installing a new copy of windows on dissimilar hardware then your old computer, it would be best to use a new DVD. If you own a copy of Windows, you can download a trial copy and authenticate it with your product key. However, I would recommend buying VMware Fusion and just virtualizing your current windows computer. It is a pretty simple process and would give you the functionality of both mac os x and your current windows OS.
