All, On a Dimension 8200, am I correct in assuming that I can mix PC800 ECC and non-ECC and that only the ECC function will be lost? Support.dell.com shows only non-ECC supported, and I'm wondering if the system will take it at...

Ok, I saw a thread before about Dell sending you the operating system on a DVD ???? (why a DVD? that is not my real question) I got a serious problem with my computer where it will lock up all the time and freeze, I am assuming it is a virus. I just want to reinstall windows and wipe out whatever...
