Okay, got my hands on an older desktop PC which now seams to run okay right from the desk of your truly (and for free no less ;D ). Okay, so there's no sound and the machine needs a tune up but I got my broadband back now so things are looking up. This beast has 2.5GHz, only 1GB ram so thusly, besides getting a new sound card and speakers, I also need to beef up the RAM as well as looking into pushing up the proccesor horsepower and look into a graphics/video card as well. So, still a long way to go, but at least things are moving along now.

Um, not right now but hold on to it, we'll see soon. I don't want to start specing out till I have cash, untill then, I really don't want to do anything to the machine at all, I don't want to risk screwing things up.

push the FSB multiplier in the bios by 1 or 2, that'll get you a tiny boost in processor power in exchange for a little more heat and noise (and warranty)

Okay, well I'll wait till I have some more computer-competant people over before I start fiddling with computer thingies, I don't want to kill the poor thing by accident.
