Thanks Don,
Will do all you said. I also am wondering about an old vid card I still
have inside of an old computer that may be able to be used in this computer.
I have never put a vid card in but have done memory so maybe similar to do?
I took pics of the old card in my old computer and will upload later to our
site for pics here to see which is the vid card and I also have an old sound
card in there both are probably better than what is in this one but will
see. This system has windows XP home on it and I believe I have 2 gigs of
RAM. I have 17.2 gig free space on hard drive. How can I see how much
memory it is showing I have?
thanks,
christy
