New Desktop Pc Required

Sylvester

I was thinking of adding the extra 1gb of ram. Probably best to wait until the 3 month warranty is over? I'm guessing it will void the warranty if I add RAM now and also not to waste any cash incase it is a duff PC

GunJack

yeah, sensible plan

Sylvester

It's arrived!

An issue though. XP SP3 and critical updates have downloaded but not installed and no matter what I try from what I googled, nothing is helping, so I have IE 5? and Windows Media 9 and no critical updates.

Any ideas anyone please?

ETA - Sorted....for now

I think i've got everything on here now.

Firewall and Antivirus were the first things and lots of other software now on.

Keep thinking of things to add when I go around and it's not in it's 'usual place'.

It is alot quicker at the moment and compared to the old one, ever so quiet!

Just to point out something from one of your previous posts i'm surprised no-one else has -

You say you are going down from a 120 gig drive to a 80gig - its a very simple operation to add your old 120gig drive to your new machine as a second drive, so you can use it as a back up drive or store photos etc on there. Will at most cost the price of a couple of screws, possibly a new lead for a quid or two.

You can even get stuff off your old hard drive to your new one easily that way, and then wipe the old one and refill it.

Will I have a space for the other HD?

What if I take out the floppy drive? I did that on my last machine and had a second HD drive instead.

Will wait until 3 month warranty is up anyway.
