I can't enter the BIOS as I'm using a USB keyboard (My PS2 ports don't work), so I cannot change the boot sequence to boot from CD-ROM as apparently the USB doesn't kick in until Windows starts up (so it's too late to enter the BIOS). I have an xp disk, but not a boot disk. I'm pretty useless when it comes to this kind of thing and all of this I have learnt today. I've backed everything up and I'm ready to go. Please help.

I'm getting a Vista but I want to buy a graphics card. The DX10s are too expensive so I want a DX9 card. Will it be ok or do I need DX 10s?

I recently upgraded my OS to XP from Windows ME and it seems to have removed my modem and I can no longer connect to the internet. Is there a way that I can re-establish it without having to go through th process again. And if I do have to go through the process again, is there a way that I can ensure that the modem will be intact?

I have heard good things about MacBooks, Dell, Sony, and HP, but can't decide which one to choose. Which one has the best programs for a small business and which one is the most reliable? I'm planning on buying memory cards to store information on, so memory is not a problem, but I want it to have its own internet access (not wireless) and plug ins for printers and scanners.

My wife's Acer laptop blew its mainboard a year & a month from new. We had a new mainboard fitted & this one blew after 51 weeks, but the repair was only guaranteed 3 months so we decided it wasn't worth bothering this time. The previous repairers have offered to buy it. How much is it worth & is there any risk of our banking details being picked up from it if scavenged?

After doing an alteration on Norton it asked me to carry out a full scan on my computer, this I carried out but my question is
why do I have 251942 files etc when I only use Yahoo, Outlook
Express and occasionally on the internet. The Norton scan found no viruses or anything else.

Right now I have one set of these memory sticks,

CORSAIR ValueSelect 1GB (2 x 512MB) 184-Pin DDR SDRAM DDR 400 (PC 3200) Dual Channel Kit Desktop Memory Model VS1GBKIT400

on this motherboard:

ASUS A8N-SLI Deluxe Socket 939 NVIDIA nForce4 SLI ATX AMD Motherboard

1) I want 2 GB in my computer, so can I get another set of these and put them in the additional slots and get 2GB?

2) If I can, what is better? Having 4 sticks of 512 or two of 1 GB?

If I got two with 1 GB, I would choose these:

OCZ Platinum 2GB (2 x 1GB) 184-Pin DDR SDRAM DDR 400 (PC 3200) Dual Channel Kit Desktop Memory Model OCZ4002048ELDCPE-K

3) The price for the new dual 512 sticks is $74 while the new dual 1 gig sticks is $166. I can get both, but I would spend all my money on the latter. Which would you choose?
