I buy a new computer every three years and spend about $4,000 each time. I just bought a Dell XPS 720 and I don't know what to do with my old computer. It runs a Pentium 4 3.4GHz and has 2.00 GB of RAM. Runs Windows XP Professional and everything works great on it. Is there anything I can use this for still? Or should I just toss it? Any suggestions would be much appreciated. Thank you.

We have some old IBM 4230 impact printers. They currently connected to our AS400 via a twinax connection. They have a parallel and serial connection. We would like to eliminate the old hubs and connect via Ethernet. Any suggestions?

Every day I see notification coming up telling me that latest msn updates are ready to be installed into my p/c. I had my p/c set up by mistake to have all these updates installed automatically, and almost EVERY day these updates were installed-without my knowledge-into my p/c, and I was being interrupted to have to restart ny p/c,-no matter what I was doing. Until finaly I figured out how to "delete' these auto-updates, and have them-msn- first get my approval to install these updates, and stop them walking boldly in & out of my p/c at will like some ADMIRAL. So the question is 'Does an average home used p/c need all those updates, or not?'...I noticed that after each auto-update, my p/c was working slower and more "torturous"...

I am searching for ways to connect my laptop to the internet and my current network is through an ethernet router. When I try to connect my laptop to it the ethernet cable is slightly too large. The laptop comes with packed in wireless which is of no use to me and an as of yet unidentified port. I would like help in identifing it. The symbol next to the port is a line with 3 boxes below it and 2 above it. I am starting to feel like an idiot now and I may have even been wrong about the size.

My motherboard is a Asus m2n-sli deluxe. It said in the manual that I must plug the heatsink/fan into the CPU fan recepticle for system monitoring. The manual said that a 3 pin fan is backward compatible. Does that mean that I plug it in to the recepticle, allowing one pin on the mobo to stick out beside the heatsink/fan plug and wires? So, should I go ahead and plug it into the the CPU fan recepticle in the only way that it can?
