I use Pentium III, 256 MB RAM, 10 GB HDD and the operational program is XP Professional.

Almost every day it happens to me that the computer crashes and I get the warning on blue screen which goes something like this: “Windows encountered a problem and needs to shut down to prevent damage to your computer".
Also it is written that I might need to do some changes in the BIOS such as cancelling "cashing and shadowing", and then the computer restarts.
I scanned the hard drive for errors with check disk, but no errors were reported.

I really have a feeling that XP is not even close as stable as older operational programmes. Or is it something else that causes the problem? How do I enter the BIOS?

I'm trying to clear off my PC's hard drive with an external hard drive and I'm wondering how feasible it will be to install my programs such as games onto the external drive instead of the one in my PC.

I guess I'd also like to know what is going on behind the scenes to make the drive available.

I recently discovered the problem to my lag was I didn't havea video card ahhahahha (lol). Anyway my cousins neighbor (hes a computer tech guy) is going to sell me a X1950 Pro for $150 bucks, still in box, he took it out to make sure it worked and put it back in box. Is this a good deal? Its a X1950 Pro 256mb, not sure the bit interface or the producer (saphire, etc) but I know it's an Radeon. Is this a good deal? Its probably one of these video cards:

Also, I really DON'T care about mail-in rebates or the total amount I could save purchasing it online (like 10$ or something with that mail-in rebate, shipping not included). I'm looking for a BUY-IT-NOW card and this looks like a decent buy. Requesting any/all input. I'm probably going to buy it but is it worth it?

My current moniter is a mess and it's colors are 100% off. However I thought that my computer would still tell the printer to print the correct color even if my moniter isn't showing it. However, I'm starting to wonder, if the in-accurate color of my moniter is what the computer is trying to print? Does anyone know how the printer picks it's colors?
