Oh well got here at last. I should practice what I preach and not fix what works or upgrade computers when not essential but I had an offer on a K6 500 that I could not resist.

In theory, all I needed to do was put my hard disk, graphics card etc. itno what was supposed to be configured correctly, install a couple of driver files and I would be up and - running - an hour maybe 2 hours work at the most.

It didn't work out that way. The BIOS was wrongly configured for starters then I had to re-install Windows... Anyway, after several re-installs, God knows how many resets, solving interrupt conflicts on good old Windows plug and play? I have finaly reached a point where I can access the internet even though the PC is performing no better than my old P133.
