I have a mother board with 4 memory slots. At present holding 2X 512Mb PC3200 DDR RAM. I am wondering whether to:
a) get another 2X 1Gb PC3200 DDR RAM (filling all the slots),
b) buy 2X 1Gb PC4000 DDR RAM and removing the old PC3200 chip. This way I would have faster memory, but less of it.

Any thoughts on what is best to do?

Everytime I use my laptop I get headaches and this tingling sensation. I put it on a table but it still bothers me. I've read on the internet that there are some special lightbulbs or something that help with this but they are expensive. Can this radiation cause cancer? I think I'm very sensitive to it, I'm concerned anybody knows? I have a brand new mac notebook.

I am thinking of backing up some files on a jump drive instead of burning a cd. Anyone have an idea how long that data would last? Or more simply how long will a jump drive last?

And no upgrade to xp please. For me, this is an upgrade.
I had Millenium, too many problems. Had computer shop install 2000 pro and it says 5.0.2195 Service Pack 4 Build 2195. Does this have C/Windows/Winnit/System32? Because I looked and I do not have a Windows file, just the Winnit file. (I only ask because I was told to download a file to there, a .dll file) Anyway, when I looked, the .dll file I needed was in the winnit folder.
Is it possible he did not install it correctly? When I turned the computer on I got a message that CPU is unworkable or has been changed. PLease recheck CPU soft menu. F1 to continue or something else to enter setup. I'm not touching anything. Someone suggested typing in run box msconfig, then go to boot.ini to see he correctly installed it over the ME. I get the red X that says Cannot find msconfig (or one of its components) Make sure path & filename are correct and all required libraries are available. Outta room. Details later after post

Hello. I am running Windows XP Service Pack 2 Edition with Microsoft Net Framework 3.0 on a Dell Optiplex GX1 450 Pentium 3. I currently have two 120gb drives working on the machine. I am trying to migrate the Master set 120gb drive to another machine and replace it with a 160gb drive. After much searching on the internet and my PC repair text book I am unable to get XP to recognize the whole 160gb. I have seen several comments regarding XP Service Pack 1 and 1a being options. When I try and install on the machine in question, it states essentially that it is unable to. I have tried using FDISK and FORMAT to no avail. Can anyone suggest something to help?

I am sick and tired of people coming in my office and fingering my monitor. Today I hurt someone's feelings because he poked my monitor to point something out and I quipped "don't touch". He got his feelings hurt and looked like he dropped the soap in prison because I barked at him. The sad thing is the people that do it the most are engineers and other managers. I actually paid for my 24" Samsung LCD out of my pocket(my company would only allocate for an analog 19" Dell and it was trash), and I DETEST people pushing on the screen, not only in fear of damaging the pixels, but I don't want their greasy paw prints on it either. Oddly enough my 9 year knows better than to finger the screens.

I've tried notes, barking, and anything else I can think of. I've been contemplating putting up a sign that reads "if you touch my monitor, you will die of a horrible death" but wasn't sure if that was going too far. Any ideas?

Wasssssssssssssssssssssssuppppppppppppppppp!!! First off, thanks for taking your time to answer my question. Ok I have a Gateway computer and a DVD ROM drive, is there any software out there that I can download to let me burn a dvd? Whenever I stick in the blank DVD the pc does not recognize it but I can watch DVD movies no problem. If you know any software that can fix this problem, preferably free then I would appreaciate it. Thanks all you smart computer people.
