Yes, you should be able to, but you need to check if his mobo is PCIe/AGP depending on what the video card is.

You deleted part of your motherboard?

lol jimmy, I thought the same thing.

Most likely if you're playing BF2, your graphics card is definately not part of your motherboard (if it is, praise the computer gods, because that ain't suppose to happen).

Secondly, none of that makes sense. What we need is computer specs to tell you how to best go about this. You should be able to transfer stuff yes, and the CD-Keys will be wiped from his computer when you uninstall the game or you can reformat the entire drive.

You can run dxdiag (Start > Run > dxdiag) and tell us what it says on the first page....the graphics page (all we need is the adapter) and the audio page (again only the adapter).

Get a Dell for your dad, if you're not running BF2 on it, just get a Dell. Make sure it has 512mb of memory though, as XP is a whore and takes up quite a bit.

i dont like dells. the only thing i like dells r those next gen comps. i use to have a dell and they ripped me off. but now, since they got sued, they r selling for cheap. piece of crap.
