Hey guys, I'm new to the site. I'm getting a new computer so I decided to register here seeing that theres great support for most of the problems ill probably have.

I have a few questions:

1) Is Asus a good company for a GPU?

2) RHD4870 GPU, but is 512MB GPU memory enough?

3) Is Blue Orb II a good enough CPU cooler for a C2Q Q9550?

4) I've been told there are program running problems with Vista 64Bit. I really liked old DOS games, and I might come back to playing them. I know they wont work on even a 32Bit system so to play them i use DOSBox, but I dont know if DOSBox will work on a 64Bit system. Can it?

And last, I worked alot on my crappy HP Compaq laptop, Photoshop and other graphics designing programs. I have thousands of textures and really important pictures and forum elements (I own a forum myself, but its a hebrew one), and I remember after the first time I reformatted, it really sucked because I couldnt find all the stuff I had installed before the format, and I lost all my textures and it took MONTHS to re-make them.
Do you have ANY idea what I can do to transfer like 60GB's of textures, files n' music to my new computer before I format this piece of crap and give it to my dad?

I think ill like it very much here. By the way, do you think UniZact is a good name for a rig?
