Thanks Jenn..<br />Andrea...wow i just bought a new desk top.. should be delivered week.. I was glad we had that reference thread... that was started about laptops.. or I wouldnt have known I need 4gb to run vista..<br /><br />Anyway it sounds like you need a new one too.. what could save you money is that if the monitor and printer works all you need is a new cpu.. thats saves money there...
