On second thought, since your current box is so old, I'd recommend just getting a new PC. As you note, there are lots of low cost boxes available. They may not be the latest technology (so what!) but they are a quantum leap from what you have now and will fix your problem fast and for sure.

It was pretty top of the line then, amd 1.6 processor, something like that, 7xx meg ram. i beefed it up pretty good and it has run great 24/7 since. Have had to replace a few power supplies but other than that no problems. Current problem is of course software related, but thinking about either replacing its hard drive and start from scratch, them moving over what I need, or just buying a whole new computer, wiping out the vista crap, and install XP. Office depot has this on sale, look like a POS? Seems cheap: http://www.officedepot.com/a/products/109410/T3646-Desktop-Computer-With-AMD -Processor/ If I go with a new drive, mine is ATA, but I see SATA looks like now, will these SATA drives work with my ATA controller or will I have to find a ATA drive? _______________________________________ http://www.okiebenz.com For new parts see official list sponsor: http://www.buymbparts.com/ For used parts email [EMAIL PROTECTED] To Unsubscribe or change delivery options go to: http://okiebenz.com/mailman/listinfo/mercedes_okiebenz.com _______________________________________ http://www.okiebenz.com For new parts see official list sponsor: http://www.buymbparts.com/ For used parts email [EMAIL PROTECTED] To Unsubscribe or change delivery options go to: http://okiebenz.com/mailman/listinfo/mercedes_okiebenz.com
