Yes, Dell Optiplex GX260, everything is orginal on it except it has a Toshiba 13GB IDE 3.5 as a slave which I am going to delete Xp on, as well as a 512MB RAM stick to replace the other 128MB RAM stick. I also took out the Floppy. However, I am pretty sure my motherboard is faulty...
I do have another question however, I am having a problem with Wine, I am trying to play Airport Tycoon 3 on it, it is installed and everything, but when I try to play it it says "starting airport tycoon 3" at the bottom, but it doesn't open it. this sucks. lol On Jul 29, 10:53 am, tuxsun1 <tuxs...@gmail.com> wrote: > Disregard... my email client wasn't current with the latest emails on > Derek's post. > > Sorry guys. > > On 07/29/2010 12:40 PM, tuxsun1 wrote: > > > > > By chance, are you running a Dell PC?
