I have a P4 2.26 gigahertz proc. and was wondering what kind of
recommendation for a power supply I should get.
I'm not looking to overclock and or anything heavy. I'm confused when it
comes to dual fans and voltages.

I recently installed Windows XP home with the SP2 pack. Ever since then my
floppy drive does not read the disks that I put in it. I have removed the

1. Freezing to a constant frame unless I move the window and somehow force

Hi.  I'm running XP SP1 on a Dell Dimmension 8400.  I purchased the PC
with a Seagate 160GB SATA harddrive.  That works fine.  Recently, I
purchased and installed a second (non boot) drive.  That one is a
Maxtor SATA 250GB drive.

I've got a Dell 400SC and a Dell SC420, both vaguely similar (they
have different motherboards).
Both are running XP Pro SP1
The 400SC has a couple of IDE drives and a Seagate 200GB SATA. It's
