My PC Config:
Processor: Intel D805
Mobo: D101Ggc (with ATI Radeon 200 Chipset)
Gfx: XFX7600GT
RAM: 1GB DDR RAM 400Mhz (512X2)
OS: Win XP Media Center 2005
TV Tuner: Pinnacle 50i
HDD: 160GB SATA + 40GB IDE
Optical: LG Dual layer DVD Re-Writer

I want to conenct my Nokia 6708 (blutooth enabled cellphone) to my PC with the above config...how do I know that my PC has Blutooth conenctivity?

If my PC does not have bluetooth connectivity how can I get it...i.e. is there a hardware upgrade I need to make...if yes please mention what I need to do.

Thanks in Advance

No, Your PC doesn't have Onboard support for Bluetooth..

You'll need a Bluetooth USB Dongle, which costs Rs. 800+
Consult any PC Stores, pick a Belkin or any Good Brand.

Thanks a million to both Subbu & Vishal for your quick replies...I've bought myself a blutooth dongle costing Rs.350 with a 1 year warranty...I'm posting this reply using the same.
Thanks n Take Care
