I am wanting to get an older PC able to run video from internet sites and also DVD movies for my grandson to see. Currently they may run for a short time then quit and occasionally the machine locks up. Here is what I have:
Gateway Model 700SE
Intel P4 2.0Ghz w/512k cache.
MOBO has 512k RDram PC800 RAMBUS
32MB NVIDIA Geforce2 MX200 AGP Graphics board
New 80GB hard drive
Running XP
I am thinking that memory is an issue both on MOBO and on the Graphics card. But not being very knowledgeable, I am not sure.
Also, Virtual memory could add to the problem ... maybe??
Any help would be so very much appreciated.
Thanks,
Henry
