Hey CrazyLemon,

A couple of questions:

Is this a new scanner? Did the problem begin from the moment you hooked it up? Or is it a scanner you've had for a while, and the problem has just...

Hi Semagdnimy,

I'm not 100 percent clear on some of the information in your post; however, if you're looking for memory recommendations, I would suggest you stay with well-known brand names.

Illusory,

It could well be that the Dimension 2350 has proprietary architecture or even construction that limits compatability with aftermarket parts. I think your best bet would be to contact...

In my experience, the OEM hard drive won't come with necessary cables. They usually come with the mobo.

The video card shouldn't need any cables, unless you're getting something I'm really not...

This has now come up enough times here for me to think it's an ongoing concern. I've had it happen a couple of times.

re. the picture,

When a new account is created in XP, the OS just randomly assigns a picture from its own library. It could just as easily have been a picture of a plane taking off, or a horse.

OK, I'm going to take the opposing view here.

You're shelling out pretty hefty bucks for what looks like a very nice, full-featured mobo. If you can afford it, why not go ahead and build with the...

Hey LJS,

In addition to the freeware solutions suggested by AnnMarie, there are also some inexpensive ways to get MS Word or a derivative thereof.

Thanks for the info, Ceh383, but I'd rather not go messing about in the registry just for convenience sake. I'm an old believer in "If it ain't broke, don't fix it."

I'm going to agree w/Cody on this one -- AMDs are known to fry VERY quickly. An AMD weakness seems to be vulnerability to overheating.
