one of my friend just bought a new pc "Intel® Pentium® 4 processor 520
HT 2.80, Intel Original Motherboard with ATI radeon xpress 200 series chipset with 512 MB ram
, he wanted win2000 instead of XP, so i tried installing windows 2000 but sadly
the process of installation went on very slowly, after installation when i installed SP4 the system
became more and more slow, then when i check my computer properties it showed only intel pentium processor
without notifiing its speed, then in the device manager the processor link was gone (which i noted in earlier OS XP)
did the processor 2.80 HT need specially installed in win2000?
now the system is having XP SP1, 80GB SATA partitioned, as 15GB c: FAT32, then 5, 8GB NTFS partion, and last 16GB or so as Fat32 (why we choose fat was because to install a hard drive image program)
so here are my doubts,
1) wont windows 2000 be installed in this PC (did it need updating to show processor in device
manager)
2) what he opt for was intel 915 board, and got ATI radeon xpress 200 series ,
is this chipset better than 915, if not what series of 915 would be better (like gavl, ggcl )
3) his samsung dvd combo is manufactured by TSSTcorp, is this good or bad than the original samsung combo
4) just after 3 days the system gets restarted (or the games closes)
when playing games like , f1 challenge, condition zero etc.
it would be kind of anyone solves these doubts
Thanks
