Hey Gman, When I get more time in a few weeks, I may ask for assistance in seeing if an old vid card I have in an old computer would work in my Dell that had a vid go bad in it. I am using the Dell still with the onboard card and it is ok but not great. I played around with the memory some more, rearranged it and the computer is working much faster with the way I put it in this time except of course the dial up is still slow ;) I am on the laptop now using DSL. I still later plan to get another desktop but for now this one is serving a purpose. ;) I do need another monitor though as I use my other new monitor with the laptop and also my big keyboard. It is good for portability though when I must carry it with me. christy ' --------------------------------------------------------------- Please remember to trim your replies (including this sentence and everything below it) and adjust the subject line as necessary.
