I don't know much about it but apparently its US military standards or some such shit... I did get some info at another site about some of my problems..I've always crashed, and everywhere but here I can retrieve my text and continue... but where I freeze up completely is with sound.. plus when it happens (freeze) the control/ alt/ delete doesn't work to end task...the reboot button won't work and sometimes even the power switch on the back won't work and I have to unplug the comp completely... Youtube screws me up big time when its music.. I can sometimes watch if its talking but the music is grim... I get that I'm on the narrow end of the funnel with this comp..it can't handle shit coming in too fast..... streaming video..etc... but thats only on stuff online..If I play a game from disc on my comp I have no sound problems..so it must be that funnel sort of thing... :wall:
I'm playing pong in a splinter cell world.......:sad:

twisty...do you have a reliable computer shop in town? my daughter wanted HER own computer, because I make her use the one in the shop. I got a free old compaq and it sucked bad, but I took it to this computer shop and spent like $130 on it and it's excellent. I also bought a flat screen off ebay. so, I spent right at $200 and she got a good running computer.

Right...but you don't want it to be obsolete as soon as you buy it...you need AT LEAST a gig of ram to run vista.

I have an xp disk too.I'm not upgrading to vista until I have absolutely no choice.Remember how bad XP was when it first came out?Well, give it four more years or so, and Vista will be ok.

I've never used XP..never even seen what the screen looks like..I have it though.. Someone told me next year there will be no more updates or any windows support for XP... same shit as this 98 I'm running.. If I knew that I wouldn't have bought this comp, but a bigger one...:wall:

Sad thing is, she was actually pretty before she did that...and she did it because her husband was fucking around on her and he liked big cats, so she thought he would like her better if she looked like one.So she needs a good slap for being a dumbass.:bigjoint:
