Thanks for responding Isaurio but you may regret it soon LOL. With the help of a friend, I built a computer but he kindda gave me everything I needed ( used parts ) and all I had to do was install them. I'd ask him but he's in Alaska and I can't communicate with him for another month or so. The point I'm trying to make is; I don't know much about computers and some things I say may sound dumb.

Here we go LOL!

1. I only have 2 slots for memory sticks so is it possible to get 512 on this older unit?
2. Yes, I believe the CD Rom is working properly so the problem is most likely that the computer has only 64 mb of ram.
3. The hard drive is a Maxtor ( DiamondMax VL 40 5400 rpm ). I also see ( 20.4 GB at disk drive ) on the label.
4. I don't know how to ckeck the processor except to put it back together and go into > my computer < !! Since I have that thing opened and parts everwhere; can you tell me what to look for? I see intel on several chips but don't have a clue as to what is what! LOL

Almost forgot; I see this black thing by the power supply with a sticker reading ( CPUPEN036AAWW 166CMHZ )...

If you can/will help me with this, I can get to the bios and do the rest my friend! Again; Thanks for the help

PS; Will this thing run streaming videos and play games for my grand-kids? If not, please let me know what I need to change!
