A few questions about RAM and a CPU

[Greeny]

An Update on my PC:

Well, i was in a computer shop yesterday in a nearby village and after much thought decided to buy a PC from them instead of building my own..

Thankfully its a custom build PC Shop and so wont have any crap comps like PCWorld For example..

In the end i ended up with this spec..

Athlon 3000+
Some Motherboard which i forget
1Gb DDR400 (2x 512)
Radeon 9600XT
120Gb Hard Drive
A New 17" "Flat" CRT Monitor

Then they threw in a free mouse and keyboad and speakers..

All in all it ended up at �754

Very Pleased with the price!

Now im just waiting the remaining hours until i get my hands on it..

We go to collect it in 2 and half hours

So, I'm gonna go now, I'll post later!

Euro prices can be a real killer. Grats on new system. As long as you get a clean install of XP on there and keep it slim and running fast you should be in good shape.

that spec will be quite peppey, speaking of keeping the comp slim i'm reformating today, ben along time.

Hi there,

System is great.. all is good..

But, only problem i got is that i'm getting these pop-ups.. but no pop-up blocker i install stops them..

They try to sell stuff etc but look like a Window not a pop-up off of a website.. any idea how to stop them?

The windows are entitled "Messenger Service"

How can i get rid of these damn things..

EDIT: I just looked in the options of the current blocker.. it had an option that said "Stop Messenger Service Pop-Ups" obviously i selected it..hopefully this fixed the problem..

There is also a windows messenger service you can stop and set to manual/disabled if you want.

you can disable a lot of shit like that by typing "services.msc" into your run line. Go to www.blackviper.com to find out what services you can disable without any problems. Windows runs a LOT of programs that half the time it doesnt even need/use.
