Hardware - August 2007

I do clerical work for a small business, and we are doing some software upgrades and such. We were wondering if any software existed that could take address book information from "ACT" and then send THE SAME fax to multiple fax numbers. Example: Introductory letter needs to be sent to some possible new clients. All client fax numbers are stored in "ACT"... is there a software that will take the fax I am trying to send and send it to a list of people with just a few clicks? or will it require standalone software (looking for something that works with current hardware.)

Wanting two monitors and when I go to 'display' and 'settings' it only shows one monitor, and from what I've read I need two in order to run duals. Do I just need to get a dual video card? Is that ALL I need? What about memory, if I'm only using it for general surfing or watching an occasional tv show? Thanks in advance!

My graphics card stopped working. I tried replacing it with a similar AGP card but it doesn't work either. Will my monitor work if I find an old PCI card?

My pc: AMD 3500+ (2.2ghz), Abit AV8-3rd eye (K8T800), 2x 512mb (200mhz), 6800GT (256mb)

Hope i got that right! Anyway, one of my 512mb's is causing problems (frequent BSOD...) and I want to upgrade to 2gb ram seeing as a lot of stuff i do could probably use it. I also hope I'll be able to benefit from 667mhz speed instead of 200mhz i have at the moment? I am confused with this though...

I want to spend around £100, and I'll probably make a choice from whats available on ebuyer.com

If any more information is required please ask and I'll make an effort to provide

Hi guys, I've got a problem here that i've asked here before, but I made some developments since last night.
I've recently bought a new system and assembled it myself. The windows XP installation loops and after the first run (where installation files are loaded into the hard disk), it boots from the CD again after restarting.
I've set the boot order in BIOS to pretty much every combination, disabled 'CPU caching' 'external caching', and enabled 'BIOS caching' as was recommended by some on my previous post. Still, booting from CD-ROM on the second run still happens. I've done this probably over 20 times now, which includes trying out different CD-ROM, IDE cable, and the winXP installation cd.
I'm not sure if hardware problems/defects are present, but I don't think that the problem is the hard drive, because when I completely remove the CD drive, the other setup part of windows boots normally. (I need files on the disk to finish the setup however!) Any help is much appreciated.
