| I've asked someone to take a look for you, but if you ran the tool Crucial had, and that ram was what they recommended, then it should be okay to install. I trust them, I get all my Ram from them  |

| hi AcaCandy - thanks for popping in re: the virus program, i did read a few threads here that mentioned not running more than one program, and that AVG was a good one to have. i think i have 2 symantec thingies running - a firewall and antivirus. will AVG replace both of those? also, is teatime considered an antivirus program? that's been running since i ran superantivirus. ********* re: CPU being slow - i think i misunderstood the way this works. i thought my low RAM caused my CPU usage to peak - in other words, 100% CPU was a reflection of low RAM or something else dragging it down. is CPU something i can/should attend to separately? if so, what's involved? ************** re: the RAM.....i just replaced 3 128 sticks with 3 256 sticks. i bought CL-2 as i thought that would help the speed. my computer is currently working with 2 sticks, but not with 3. i found and saved this thread the other day - someone had the same problem and was advised to change the bios to clock at CL-3. is this advice that will allow me to use all 3 sticks? and if so, how do i do that? http://www.motherboardpoint.com/t253...33mhz-cl2.html *********** sorry if i'm asking a lot, but i'm sure you know from being an admin that many answers lead to more questions. i really appreciate this!! ~chris |

| sorry, but i'm really lost... i don't even know what CPU is or that it was replaceable. i thought CPU was a measurement, not a part. so when you said i had a slow CPU, i asked for clarification on how to address that. bottom line on what my problem is, is that sites that require flashplayer run in a jerky fashion like you described. i asked if the memory i was running was the cause and i think i misunderstood you to say that it would help. so i opened the packages of what i bought and found that it's not helping with this problem. and i think now you're saying that no matter what i do, it's not going to help? or that the things i need to change would cost more than a new computer? can we take a step back, because i think you believe i have a better understanding of this than i really do. i don't know how to answer the question about the video card. i don't know what a P3 chip is. i did check in the BIOS but i couldn't find anything about the CL setting. i can check again if you tell me what 'section' it might be in, or what words to look for. or....if the site would work with the 512 MB i have installed, maybe i can return the extra stick and spend the money on something else that would help. btw, the person who gave this to me got it from a friend who built it in a computer class, so they probably went the cheap route - hence the low "everything" inside the box. i have an extra Sony computer sitting around that had windows2000 installed - maybe there's something in that computer that would actually be better? i'm willing to sort it out if someone has the patience to walk me through it. thanks, and sorry i misunderstood your post ~chris p.s. the site we're having problems with is webkinz.com. if it would help to know what kind of site it is, i could give you one of our account names & the pass so you could see how 'intensive' it is - i think it's pretty simple, really. another example of what i can't do is the elf yourself link i posted above: http://elfyourself.jibjab.com/view/K...SzAidT5BCOtdhS |

| Back now, as the weekend I was away. Having a read at what has happened, and will have a look at the site for you know. I think I have an idea on what type of games you're trying to play. Being an actual gamer, I understand about the use of high end cards for certain games. The one I play all the time is a multiplayer game, and we need plenty of RAM to play on the servers. But, I digress. I think, without looking yet, that the ones you want are just gentle type of games, if just Flash-based, you should be able to play them okay. Okay, back in a min or two

| hi eddie! thanks for coming back and for checking the site. that's weird that it's needing Flash 10, because my granddaughter joined up last christmas and i ended up getting an account to play with her early this year. the site had already been up a good year before she discovered it, so how could it require the newest version? but you're correct in it being a "gentle", low-tech type of game. and some things do work fine, but the pets walk around in slow motion, and the games play as if they're coated in caramel! sometimes a character will 'talk' and you can hear the sound before their mouth starts moving - then no sound, but the mouth is still blah-blah-blahing (just like i am now  )i'll check my flash when i get home and report back. ~chris |

| okie-dokee, it says i've got 10.0.12.36 i was going to guess that's what i had since i just uninstalled and reinstalled flash last week (i had an earlier version from another failed experiment, and i wanted to be sure i was all squeaky clean and up to date before i re-visited the flash question) but yeah, i wanted to be sure. so now that i'm sure, what's next?  |

| Just tried to register at webkinz.com. Spent listening to the duck explaining what to do, and got to step 3 then.......... I don't have the toy  Can you PM me the password/account you use. Don't worry, I'll delete the PM after its finished, so it won't be in my account here at TSG Just curious to what that site uses, etc. Just click on my name (on the left) and select Send eddie5659 a Private Message
