It will be fine for a couple of days and then it's like it just turns off the red. It will suddenly reappear even if we haven't touched the computer.

I am thinking of buying a computer for my dorms. Which is the cheapest kind and where do I find 'em. Any 'back to school offer' from Circuit City or Radioshack? I already have a keyboard and a mouse. All I need is a monitor and PC (desktop, half, full whatev).
How much do you think it'll all cost? Any websites on finding cheap parts etc?

My tower says E-machines installed windows XP but has Windows ME installed. The graphics are stuck on 16 colors 460x480 or w/e. The tower says Intel 845GV installed. Is this possible and how can I fix it. Do I need to look for a Windows ME graphics driver, or an INTEL? PLEASE HELP!

Can someone help me understand this better?


Okay. .so this is my understanding ..but it's probably wrong

Expansion Slots can connect to expansion busses (either ISA or PCI or AGP for video cards)
Windows' internet connection communicates with the Modem via a device driver and
tells the modem card to send an IRQ down the ISA bus which is connected directly to a northbridge chip. The northbridge chip then routes the IRQ signal directly to another type of internal bus --the address bus which leads directly to the CPU and contains the hexidecimal I/O Addressing for each device ...but the PCI or ISA slots don't contain the I/O Address resource

IS this at all right ??






thnks
