I recently just bought DDR2 ram for my computer. I checked my mother board just to make sure that it would work before I bought it. It clearly says DDR ram. I thought well DDR2 is just newer. I bought it. It didnt fit. There is a clear differenece between DDR1 and ddr2. Make sure you have the right slot for your ram.
I also bought a video card for my computer. the slot said AGP 4X. I didn't understand what that meant. I actully called the manufacturer for the meaning. I was looking to buy a 8X agp card. He said that 4x is what the power supply can hold in the motherboard. He said I could buy an 8x ag for it but it will not work at full capicity. So I stuck with the 4x video card. I am hoping for a new computer for christmas!

Disabling the UAC
Don't you hate it when you have those stupid things that ask you like a million type "do you want to contine" when you to use the MMC or control panel. I found a way to disable that you just have to follow these simple rules.
1. What is the UAC?
It is the user account control. It tries to control your life. It is for security purposes.
2. How do I turn it off?
Open Control Panel.
Under User Account and Family settings click on the "Add or remove user account".
Click on one of the user accounts, for example you can use the Guest account.
Under the user account click on the "Go to the main User Account page" link.
Under "Make changes to your user account" click on the "Change security settings" link.
In the "Turn on User Account Control (UAC) to make your computer more secure" click to unselect the "Use User Account Control (UAC) to help protect your computer". Click on the Ok button.
You will be prompted to reboot your computer. Do so when ready.
In order to re-enable UAC just select the above checkbox and reboot.
