I just finished building a gaming PC which has everything except an accelorator card. Is it worth buying? The asus one is about £150.

Although I probably can't afford it, I would like to view my primary monitor in another location. Ideally it would be a wireless touch screen so that I could use the computer with out being near it. I would like it for my church projection system. So this rules out a laptop because I need a connection to the projector. My church can become low staffed and I would like to make myself more useful but it doesn't help when I have to be ready to change to the next verse.

Right now I'm thinking about having a setup of the wireless monitor 12.1" LocationFree® TVLF-X11 (http://www.sonystyle.com/is-bin/INTERSHOP.enfinity/eCS/Store/en/-/USD/SY_DisplayProductInformation-Start?ProductSKU=LFX11&Dept=tvvideo&CategoryName=tv_LocationFree ) with a remote to select the next song. The wireless monitor would show a clone of the primary monitor.

I've heard that there are PCs that are built to be converted to Servers so that you can add more users remotely. Would that be a better way to go?

Especially since I installed Norton Security Suites on it. I have wireless High speed Internet through AOL. I contacted Dell as it is under warrenty, but they have not gotten back to me. Any ideas on what could be going on with it?

Okay, so I understand the different types are based on your processor. I have looked everywhere on my computer, and even my computer manufacturer's website, and nothing says clearly if I have a 32 bit processor or a 64 bit processor.

I'm using an Intel Pentium 4 Processor 3E GHz with 1MB L2 Cahe and HT Technology (Hyper-Threading Technology)

It's a Sony VAIO running Windows XP Home. It's only about a year and a half old, which I guess is pretty old when it comes to electronics. :O)

Because my computer does not say it anywhere, not even in the control panel, when you choose System, and goto the General Info tab, nothing says 64 bit, I'm assuming it's a plain 32 bit.

Let me know if I should check someplace else, or assume it's a 32 bit.

Thanks a ton!~

I'm trying to upgrade from dial up to DSL and learning I don't have enough RAM. My system has 124 MB of RAM. The Yahoo DSL installation requirements are telling me I have 124 and 128 is recommended and I NEED 64 MB. What is the least invasive and least expensive way to get more RAM on my current system? Can I purchase this at Circuit City, Best Buy, etc. ? Easy installation for an average Jane?
