Finally...
... a sense of relief. My computer is up and running again. A few more things to install but basically, all systems go. I was able to change the motherboard of this thing last night and bought an additional 512mb RAM, boosting the total to 1GB. Every thing is moving faster because of the new motherboard and RAM. I can finally start working in peace! Haha. Now, what else to do for now? Hmm..
