| 2008: Vista had many
driver problems and many programs from XP will not work on Vista.
Windows XP is the most stable systems that Microsoft has had to
date! NT isn't supported now and features are all included in XP Pro. If your PC is more than 2 years old consider buying a
new PC if it crashes and cannot be restored. Current Microsoft (stand alone)
operating systems are overpriced and probably won't work well on any PC
motherboard with Win98-SE or earlier and more memory is needed with newer
systems. Bite the bullet and by a new PC that will be MUCH faster and will
operate better with newer software and faster motherboards with increased
memory (update
to 1 GB memory will help to run faster). All current PC's come with a CD-R
writer. Check prices on PC's that include a DVD + or - writer as they will
hold 4.7 GB of data instead of 700 Mb compared to a CD-R R/W. PC's don't
come with floppy drives or serial ports sometimes as they seem to be outdated
like the music 8 Tracks tapes. However external USB devices can be added. Don't install any program you won't use on a regular basis. To keep your PC running trouble free.

| Three basic things you need to know. |
1. Clipboard: A special file or memory area (buffer) where data is stored temporarily before being copied to another location. Many word processors, for example, use a clipboard for cutting and pasting. When you cut a block of text, the word processor copies the block to the clipboard; when you paste the block, the word processor copies it from the clipboard to its final destination. In Microsoft Windows and the Apple Macintosh operating system, the Clipboard (with a capital C) can be used to copy data from one application to another. Note: Clipboard contents are replaced with new data when you copy or cut new data to it. It is lost totally when you turn your PC off.
2. Memory: Internal storage areas in the computer. [Random access memory] The term memory identifies data storage that comes in the form of chips, and the word storage is used for memory that exists on tapes or disks. Moreover, the term memory is usually used as a shorthand for physical memory, which refers to the actual chips capable of holding data. Some computers also use virtual memory, which expands physical memory onto a hard disk.
Types of RAM: FPM=1x EDO=1-3x SDRAM=4x RDRAM=8-32x
Every computer comes with a certain amount of physical memory, usually referred to as main memory or RAM. You can think of main memory as an array of boxes, each of which can hold a single byte of information. A computer that has 1 megabyte of memory, therefore, can hold about 1 million bytes (or characters) of information.
There are several different types of memory:
| RAM (random-access memory): This is the same as main memory. When used by itself, the term RAM refers to read and write memory; that is, you can both write data into RAM and read data from RAM. This is in contrast to ROM, which permits you only to read data. Most RAM is volatile, which means that it requires a steady flow of electricity to maintain its contents. As soon as the power is turned off, whatever data was in RAM is lost. |
| ROM (read-only memory): Computers almost always contain a small amount of read-only memory that holds instructions for starting up the computer. Unlike RAM, ROM cannot be written to. |
| PROM (programmable read-only memory): A PROM is a memory chip on which you can store a program. But once the PROM has been used, you cannot wipe it clean and use it to store something else. Like ROMs, PROMs are non-volatile. |
| EPROM (erasable programmable read-only memory): An EPROM is a special type of PROM that can be erased by exposing it to ultraviolet light. |
| EEPROM (electrically erasable programmable read-only memory): An EEPROM is a special type of PROM that can be erased by exposing it to an electrical charge. |
3. Hard drive space - Storage of data - (Sometimes confused with memory for those new to PC's) HARD DRIVE: The mechanism that reads and writes data on a hard disk. Hard disk drives (HDDs) for PCs generally have access times of about 15 milliseconds or less. Many disk drives improve their performance through a technique called caching.
