Thanks, Bill. I'd never though of going to eBay. I have used Crucial's scsanner and it recommended two different sticks. I don't remember exactly,...
Thanks, Bill and Evan. \ I recently installed a new AGP card becxause the video was total ****. The new card improved it signifiantly, but I...
I have dealt with Dell's auction site before. I bought DW a system that worked very well and was reasonalbe priced. When we got our motorhome,...
Neil: When I tried an installation of more RAM, I bought some through Amazon that were specifically for AMD motherboards. Maybe my assumption...
My eMachines system is showing its age (about 6 years). Over the last 18 months, I've replaced the original C: drive with a 300GB unit and...
There's one drawback to your idea. If your C: drive's OS gets blown, you can't get to the back-up, unless you have another copy of the OS and can...
I have Audacity, which I think was a freebie. I've done quite a few transcriptions of old vinyl LPs to CD and I always do each track as a separate...
I'm having problems with what I believe to be glitches in iexplore.exe and explorer.exe. The initial load from shut down often fails to load the...
I put the memory configuration back to its orignal 512M single stick and it's working fine. It has been on for 3 hours and not a single...

I've just done upgrades to my eledrly emachines box. A dying motherboard-resident video driver has been replaced by an AGP card and I've increased...
Thanks for that edit on the socket, Pete. I agree that the nVidia is probably worth the extra money. Order goes in to Amazon tomorrow morning....
I can't resolve the video issue I posted about earlier, so I'm going for an AGP card. I checked that the AGP "purple" socket is empty. What...
Thanks everyone. Reset to "Resolved ". I guess I'll have to wait until tomorrow to look at Wikipedia. They've blacked out the site for 24...
Unfortunately, in WinXP, it's not possible to disable the touch-pad. Later versions of Windows do allow it. On DW's net book, the touch-pad is...
