• 256MB DDR400 Memory
• 80GB SATA Hard Drive 7200RPM

Ports

• 2 x SATA Ports
• PCI Slots: 3 x PCI, 1 x 8X AGP
• Sound Onboard: AC97 (5.1)

• 10/100 Onboard LAN
• 1 x Serial Ports

Thanks

If you have problems with these things, you can purchase an external USB 56k modem. I bought one for £10.

One of these PCI cards will do the job --> http://www.ebuyer.com/UK/store/2/cat/Modems

Fitting is easy: remove side panel of case, remove the blanking plate for the PCI slot (some cases have thin metal which you push out, others have a screwed plate). Push modem card into PCI slot, and secure to case with a screw.

thanks

thanks a lot. That was really useful.
