The question was simple. I was asking if this was a better choice vs what I used to have as I had the option to send it back. That was all I was asking.

Whoops! I forgot to mention that I already have it. It was only $175 minus the monitor. I already had the monitor so I didn't have to buy one. I'm gonna get a 27" tv or 32" tv before christmas *cough* black firday *cough* and use it with my pc. The ram isn't ecc so I lucked out on that. As for the video card, I don't know if I should get a new one. I don't play any pc games. All my gaming is done on my nintendo wii. The only reason I got the gefore card is that the onboard card was a very old xgi volari z7 which was only a 16mb card and it wasn't compatible with vista or seven. I got the geforce card from a friend so I got it dirt cheap. I might have to get one with a dvi port if the tv doesn't have a vga port on it. I had vista ultimate from when I purchased it in 2009 so I lucked out there too. That's the only version of windows I can stand at this point. It came with xp (JUST.......NO!) so I instantly upgraded it.

Sadly I didn't see that option so I just took them back and got a refund.

Dang! Oh Well. Thanks for the fast reply.

Hello Again:hello: I purchased a 1GB stick of ram for my desktop and for some reason it will not work with the two 512MB sticks of ram that came with it. The two 512MB sticks work fine by themselves. The 1GB stick does too, but when I try to add all 3 in at the same time I hear 4 or 5 loud beeps when I turn the pc on and I never get to my bios screen or to my desktop. SIW says that my board can hold up to 4GB of RAM and when I was putting the memory in I see "DDR2 533 or 667" on the board below the memory slots. Can someone tell me what's wrong?

Hi, I'm interested in making a multi-os windows dvd that I can use when I have to do repairs and I wanted to ask if there was a way to put all these on one 8.5GB DVD: 98 SE 2000 Pro SP4 ME ReXP Pro 64-Bit ReXP Home And Pro SP3 Vista SP2 32-BIt (Basic, Business, Premium And Ultimate) Seven 32-Bit (Home, Pro And Ultimate) I would also like to put the updates for all of them on another dvd so that I don't have to waste time downloading them (you would not believe the number of people in my area that are still on dial-up by choice). I think I would need a RunOnceEx file to do that. I really want them on the same dvd, but I don't think all that stuff will fit on one. Am I asking for too much or is all of this possible?

I was looking at a all-in-one pc and a local pc shop (it's this one: http://emachines.com/products/products.html?prod=EZ1601-01)and when I looked at the specs it had an intel atom processor. After looking at these on intel's site they sound like a re-hashed version of the old pentium 4 processors. Is that correct and if so is it possible to upgrade to a dual or quad core processor? (I had to change my pc buying plans. The ebay auction was a disaster!)

@Junior2613: Sorry, I already listed it on ebay. If it doesn't sell then I'll get back with you and sell the drive. @Ponch: I put in an auction with a few other items. I threw in a vivitar digital camera, a vivitar handheld camcorder and a blackberry 8830 world edition smartphone.

I didn't know that. Thanks for the fast reply buddy!

Does anyone know where I can download xp sp1 x64? I didn't see it on microsoft's site. Does it exist?

Here's some pics (not the best):

Do you think I could get a decent amount of money for this machine on eBay?

Here's the CPU-Z screenshot (attached). I'll grab memtest86+ and see what it says. CoffeeFiend, The bios isn't a ghetto one so I can change soem things if I need to.

I had a feeling you were gonna say that. The vista install was a fresh install from my retail dvd. Maybe I had some issues when I had to do a recovery on the drive. just formatted the drive and re-installed vista. I'll see if that helps. If not, then I'll know it's the memory. Which stick should I replace? The old one or the new one?
