Man, Compaq sucks, Celron sucks, Intel sucks, Clinton sucks, Ok, got it out of my system! LOL!!! :-) Is this computer going to be mainly gaming and school stuff like Word processing? The reason I ask is, I tried to install Doom3 on this machine and it just downright wouldn't run. :-( You're talking about 1gb ram (400mhz), XP 2500 cpu and GeForce FX-5200 (which isn't the worlds BEST gaming card) and a SATA drive. So what I did, I installed XP on another partition and I only use it for gaming. Doom 3 runs as well as expected for a system like this, but I'm happy with it. It's sorta a pain to have to re-boot but then again, this machine is a quad boot machine. (2 XP, 1-W2K Pro and Suse Linux 10.0) :-) On Sun, 22 Jan 2006 12:59:23 -0600, "Tina" <chapman@xxxxxxxxxxxx> took time to say the following: T> Below is the specs on the computer I'm having problems with. (Please no slams as to the brand, or the CPU unless it's pertinent to the problem. It's a computer that is used by someone [or not used as the case may be] that doesn't know much about computers, nor does he need a high end computer.)
