hello all, I am looking to replace my computer as it unfortunately doesn't what I need any more. I work from home and use it to run a lot of vmware guests so can lab up systems and also use it for general pc usage. I am wondering what i would get for the old system, though not sure if i am allowed to ask so apologies if i am breaking a rule. So, these are the components & case i am looking to sell as a single lump and thoughts on what i should/could ask for are appreciated. CPU: Intel Core 2 Quad Q6600 @ 2.40GHz - Kentsfield 65nm Technology RAM: 8GB Dual-Channel DDR2 @ 400MHz (6-6-6-18) Motherboard: ASUSTeK Computer INC. P5E-VM HDMI (LGA775) Graphics: 512MB NVIDIA GeForce 9600 GT (ASUStek Computer Inc) Optical Drives: PIONEER DVD-RW DVR-218L ATA Device Audio: Realtek High Definition Audio Case: Antec P182 PSU: 550w Asus i think, not sure how to tell without taking out! Thank you.

you need to use calcs to set/change permissions via the command line

i use something akin to this: @ECHO off TITLE Applying Windows Post Service Pack 2 Updates IF EXIST D:\CD.txt set CDROM=D: IF EXIST E:\CD.txt set CDROM=E: IF EXIST F:\CD.txt set CDROM=F: IF EXIST G:\CD.txt set CDROM=G: IF EXIST H:\CD.txt set CDROM=H: IF EXIST I:\CD.txt set CDROM=I: IF EXIST J:\CD.txt set CDROM=J: GOTO START @author Neil Wooloff @version date :START SET /A NUMOFUPDATES=0 ECHO.
