Most consumer grade motherboards do NOT like having all four RAM slots

better off using two 2 GB sticks to get 4 GB of...

Big problems caused by Upgrading memory Options

It sounds like you didn't fully seat one of the RAM sticks. I would try
again carefully inserting them with firm pressure. It does take some force.

Voltage to card

If you read it again it says that a 400 Watt PSU is the MINIMUM power
needed. That would just barely get by. NO, 350 Watts will NOT do it. Of

Poor Image Quality With DVI-VGA converter

I personally would never buy a digitally based LCD monitor that only offers
analog VGA inputs. You are wasting your video card's potentially temendous
image quality and resolution.

Securely wiping a usb drive

Search Google for a "Shredder" program (free) that will overwrite the entire

Displaying Hardware Monitor data in Windows XP

Why not do it the easy way and just install Asus's "Probe II"? It's included

Is it worth buying 4GB RAM for an XP machine?

32 bit XP will only recognize 3.5 GB of RAM of the installed 4 GB. The 64
bit version of XP will recognize and use the full 4 GB of RAM.
