Man, if you can get the manual, it wouldn't hurt, since we'd have to look at a couple of things...
The woman gave me this heavy piece of equipment... with two drives, one 20 and another 40... the 20 one, when you turn it on, makes a very strange noise, it's really, really noisy. I shake it, and there's a clacking sound inside. I'm not sure if I should let it fall a little to test it or just skip it directly.
On the other one, I'm trying to install Ubuntu 10.04... the PC had 256mb of RAM, so I put a 512mb RAM in it that I had lying around, and for now it's working with 768, let's see how the installation goes, it already gave me an error once... xDD This is going downhill...
One question, the PC had an ATI Club-3D Radeon 7500 XT graphics card, I put an ATI Club x1550 in it that I had lying around the house, this second one should be much better, right?
