Normally 400mhz ram auto slows down if you put it in a 233mhz slot and works without probs. Try looking in your manual what the beeps and flashes mean. They are used to give you a error code and tell you whats wrong

Its teh same problem I have.. half my mainboard is dead, I am slowly saving for a new PC, but my other half thinks it is less important than paying for the wedding and stuff.. Girls!
i think to get a new good pc u dont have to pay much money. There r good Systems 4 a low price out....
Maybe u can buy a new pc.... good CPU good Mainboard enough Save space at the HDD and ca 1 Gig RAM... U dont need a very expensive graphic card... 4 example
U can put ure old graphic card in the new system at the beginning :D
And u dont need the best things from all.
i think u have to pay 4 a GOOD System wich isnt the newest but new enough ca 300 -350 € if u want more and a bigger, faster and more nicer System than u have to pay a lot more (like me :P)
oh 5 years.... u r very optimistic. If u want to get a "good" pc the whole time u have to buy every 3 years a new one... couze Software need more and more power and the hardware become faster more powerfull every month..... the technical evolution is very fast... but that mean also that the prices 4 new componets go down as well.
and btw. U cant get a "new" system... if u can buy a componet u can read much reports of new things ;)
the reason stuff needs more power now is due to lazy scripting.
And 5 years is ok.. but that includes a few upgrades along the way.. my current pc is 6.5 years old and runs swg ok, with only a cheap graphics card upgrade and a bit of ram :p
hehe nope i payed for my own licence and car :D and pc and clothes and food even payed my own school ...... think i got the wrong end of the deal here ..
