    Default "New" Computer!

    My grandfather bought one of those fancy new gaming rigs with 4 GB of RAM so he could run Oblivion so I got his old rig!!!! It's a Dell Dimension 8200 but it has been upgraded. Here are the stats:

    Intel Pentium 4 4 CPU 2.00GHZ, 1.99 GHZ
    768 MB of RAM
    40 gig HD (Problem.)

    Cool cool, although, 768 is a odd RAM amount.


    But hey, free computer! Who can complain about that?

    My friend had an emachines. When I put 512mb of ram in it. The system only detected 480mb. I upgraded the BIOS and then it detected the full 512mb.

    So you should upgrade the BIOS on your computer. It might help... that is if they havn't been upgraded before.

    I have a heavily modified Dell as well. It served its purpose for a few years and then some. Although I will never by a manufactured computer again. Next time I am going completey cusom. The only reason I went Dell is because of thier monthly payment option.
