OT--Windows Update has changed by
MZB
Something is screwed up on my Windows Update set-up.
I used to have it so that MS would ASK me if I wanted to d/l/install the
upgrades.
Lately, it seems to d/l them automatically and asks me if I want to install
it.
How do I go back to the first set-up.

I set his machine up first (clean...

1505 AMD? by
Kevin M
I was starting to order a 1505 after I finally found out the difference
between the 6400 and the 1505, but I noticed the 1505 is using AMD
processors. How do these compare to Intel processors? Should I be concerned?
Thanks again--
Kevin M.

I am looking to upgrade the Video Card on my Dimension 8200. It came
with an NVIDIA GeForce2 MX 400 with 32mgs of Ram. The only reason I
want to change cards at all is I want to hook up two Monitors and
possibly watch TV on it.
