like the man said "Dude, you gotta get a Dell!" I have bought 14 of them for home, friend, family, and work, and haven't had a problem yet. Dell has good deals on their outlet web site.

Dell is great, I've gotten a few. Their refurbished section is sometimes good. You can't beat IBM either, they don't seem to load as much useless software (in my humble opinion.)
I hear Dell has better customer service, but I've never had to call on IBM.
Good luck.

That error is related to your virtual memory heap, and could be a problem with the harddrive.
Kind of odd.
Let us know how it goes.

I have had very good luck with Compaq, until the last two I bought. So far it has not cost me a dime to have them repaired and they have been very quick about it.
Nick, they are supposed to be out to replace the hard drive next Wed., I will post any more info.

Thanks for the update. Compaq/HP aren't my favorite desktops, although HP workstations are very reliable.
Dell, dell, dell.

I bought this HP package for the house strictly because of the price, and I hate XP.

Well, the hard drive was replaced today, and so far it is working fine. I guess only time will tell.

May have been that the entire time.
That virtual memory heap is the core of the windows OS... so who knows.
Thanks for the update though. I hope it works out for you, I know how troublesome not having a computer is... oh man.
Have a good night man...

Hey Bruce, which part of XP do you hate?
you can change the interface to look just like Win 2000. That's how I have mine set up... runs a little faster that way too.
