[Rik]

You've been very quiet the past few days, Jill. Everything OK?

Good work David, 

Here is another way to get an overview of what you computer build is.
Use:
Start -> Help and Support -> Use Tools to view your computer information ...... -> My Computer Information -> View general system information about this computer

Using this route in XP should show you a picture like the one I have attached below.

Over-worked  dealing with the union

I think I should be a union rep  my research is correct, according to my local rep, who dislikes my team leader  is standing by 

[David]

Good luck with it Jill

Hi David,

Here is a little uility that will give you information about your CPU, Motherboard, Memory etc...

A favourite of mine too vitriol! 

Well worth getting hold of David.

Indeed, CPU-Z is a classic.

[vitriol]

GPU-Z is a similar utility but for grapics cards.  Handy for keeping an eye on gpu temperature.

I find an app that Noreen posted a few months ago is very helpful SIW http://www.gtopala.com/

[vitriol]

nice app, loads of information in there

thanks

RAM upgraded at last the 2 1 GB sticks arrived today and took all of two minutes to install.(have had enough practice)just checked and lo and behold my computer etc reads 2 GB Ram so I think this saga has come to an end.........................unless ?

[Rik]

Great news, David. 

[Ray]

Nice one, David, glad you finally got there. 

[David]

Thanks Rik I kept very silent.the error was on the initial scan they had not flagged that it was an upgrade but I would still use them again and to be honest it didn't break the bank @£12.99 each so although some confusion it all worked out in the end 

[David]

Nice one, David, glad you finally got there. 

Thanks Ray I have been busy shopping around looking at various sites with the view to build one,have to increase the budget though as £500 is not enough when I take into account all the parts etc and If I go ahead I would get the best I can afford.not a cheap hobby but still keen on building one...

It's a very satisfying experience, David, I've done it about 4 times now and not encountered any un-surmountable problems although the air tended to turn blue at times and the language a bit ripe  , they all ended up working OK with no damaged components.

Be careful though once you've successfully done one it can become rather addictive.

  batter than Valium and it will keep me amused

I'm glad this is sorted, David.
