This is gonna be long but please read, I need help with this purchase. I just got hired with a work from home company and they have certain computer requirements. They require WINDOWS 2000, XP OR VISTA, INTEL PENTIUM II, 300 MHZ, 600 FREE, AND GREATER THAN A 256 PROCESSOR. If I purchase the following computer from dell, are the requirements going to be met? It has xp home, intel core 2 duo, 250 gb hard drive, cd/dvd writer? I don't know how to compare apples to apples. The price I was given for this system is 950.00 - ist that about right? Please help... I need to buy this system asap. I would rather have the xp than the vista at this point.

I have got two video cards 8800 GTX-SLI. I have been running windows XP. Where can I download direct X 10 version? (i.e.: my experience is…: I hate vista OS, because it does not support two 8800GTX SLI cards at same time. It (the vista support video driver) was support single 8800 GTX video card under VISTA OS. So, I have roll-back windows XP.)
In short, I have two video card and running windows XP and need running direct X 10 game(i.e.: lost_planet_dx10.exe). Currently, I would like to enjoy DX10 games… Where can I download DX10?

System was getting slow so i reinstalled xp and don't have the drivers for the following: 1) Standard Dual Channel PCI IDE Controller 2) VIA Bus Master IDE Controller 3) Soft V92 Data Fax Modem 4) VIA Rhine II Fast Ethernet Adapter 5) Video Controller 6) multi Audio Controller 7) AMD Sepron Processor 2600+. If anyone out there can advise , than please do as i can find my way around software without a problem but when it comes to the hardware i'm somewhat lost. So i guess my question is,l Without taking my system in to the provider, how can or where can i find these missing components or drivers? I did a driver scan and the above mentioned items are missing or marked with and "X" . Hope someone out there can help and if so, thanks in advance..............RH!!

Trying to narrow my search down to one computer, and Dell seems to have a great product, but there have been some negative things about their products. Alienware, seems nice, but is it worth the hype?

Could anyone tell me what I could do to speed it up? I have 1G ram. It's getting to where I don't want to wait for it to restart.

I had a weird problem where every file was fragmented. I do defragment often, so it usually doesn't ever get that bad. This was bad. Defragmented, and now looks good. But it is still slow on startup.

I run Norton Antivirus scans once a week, and no viruses are popping up, either.

Do any of these programs hurt me speed-wise?

Here's what runs on startup ("x" means checked to run):
x PROmon
x NvCpl
x nwiz
x realsched
x type32
x jusched
x ccApp
x osCheck
x NvMcTray
x systemnt23
x qttask
x iTunesHelper
x ctfmon
x Microsoft Office
Core
point32
iTunesHelper
msmsgs
PokerOffice

Right now I have a GeForce 7600 GS (256mb, 560mhz, 1400mhz, pci-e), but I'm thinking about getting the 8600 GTS, which is 256mb, 540mhz, 1400mhz, and pci-e, but it has 32 pixel pipelines opposed to the 7600 GS which has only 12. Even though the 8600 GTS that i want to get has slightly slower clock speeds, but more pixel pipelines, will I see a large performance increase? I'd be using it to play Halo 2, Flight Simulator, and Age of Empires.
