Hello, I had a really old slow and small packard bell PC that would play games, not the best but worked. Now I have this PIONEX junk going with a K6-2/500 cpu, M5ALA board, 160 of dimm, 1 12gig HDD and 1 6gig HDD. The 2 games I tried on it freeze the thing up right away, nothing works or moves, can't end program with key board but background music keeps playing. I have to hit the reset to get it going again. The pile of junk works great other wise after putting in 2 more fans,[5 total now], any one have any ideas? They worked on that really weak packard bell, So I figured games would work much better on this thing but I was wrong. I thought the AMD K6-2 was supost to be good for games when it was introduced?

I have spybot S-D installed and also have the latest version of spyware killer saved to floppy disk, which one do you think is better?
 
Hi again, I ran the spybot with updates and it found a couple things, I then removed spybot and installed the latest version of spyware killer and it found 23 things on it. So can I assume the spyware is the better program?

The NHRA drag racing game wants directx7, machine has directx9 on it. Vid card is i740 [apollo7400]. I will have do some reading in the vid card book. Tom w
 
well, adware is not technically a virus so most will not find it. Its still better to have an adaware program to run along with Nortons or some similar software.
