Desktops - June 2007

I found a computer but was disappointed to see it ran on W95....so I was planning on using it to play NES/SNES roms on it and music, but need to find a driver for it to run my external usb hard drive.....it runs 94 4.00.95B or something like that.

i have two older computers in my house, and I am by no means computer savvy. I was wondering if I can take the ram from one and put it into the other, where I can then run using both rams at once with the one computer. I hope that makes sense. Is there a way to see if my computer is compatible and able to run using both rams at once? Thanks a lot, I hope that makes sense.

I have limited my choices for which computer I should get. Now only two remain, and I need an answer. Please do not refer me to another computer, my mind is set on THESE TWO.

Please consider everything about the computer before telling me which one is the better deal. I will be using the desktop to surf the web, and play lots of games. I will need a computer with a nice speed level. My current computer sucks now. (Emachines, 60 gigabyte hard drive, 256 ram). Also, I would like to know which one would last me longer? Ive had this emachines for about 4 years now, and it still works alright.

I just bought Dell XPS with VISTA Premium. It seems to be slower and my son does not like it.It came with VISTA backup CD. Is it OK to downgrade to XP for now and upgrade to VISTA later using the backup VISTA cd.

My husband is always saying how slow our computer is always running.I think it runs average.He says he can be on and use his work computer in three X the amount of time it takes to even get on the home PC.It seems logical to me to believe that a work computer would be built different,(faster,and able to hold more technical material)than a laymans PC.His lap top holds much technical material, whereas the home PC hold s minor homebased work.Our home computer is slower than his,but i believe they were both built different and for different reasons.Also the home PC holds 4 users for our family and his laptop uses only one.I think these are reasonable assumptions,but Im not sure I'm right.He always thinks there is something wrong with our home computer.I argue that it's fine just different from his.

I can not find anything on the motherboard pertaining to the company name, I found only an ID and a serial number sticker.

I know it's an old motherboard, I think it has a Pentium 3 processor socket, one AGP slot, and 2 PCI slots. It also has this crazy mini slot that a dial-up card is attached to.

I brought a new Pc a week ago. It has a strange problem, it simply restarts (reboots) with out any reason.

I consulted my vender he said it was the problem with the power supply the first time and he changed it, the second time he changed the RAM.

wat may be the actual culprit?

ATI X850xt PE.
Gigabyte DS-3 with Conroe E6400.

Since the crashing has started, I have tried both newest and older catalyst drivers to no avail. Tried system restore point, no luck. Checked hardware (temps/votage), I would say it is a software/driver problem for sure. Happens only while gaming (or heavy graphics card load?), no error messages nothing, just shuts down like a power outage.

Any ideas? I am usually really savy with computers but no error messages or graphics glitches has thrown me for a loop.
