What operating system came with the machine?
Is it some type of "modified" Win XP?
I note at the Microsoft site that they are not
giving the Beta 64 away anymore. Hope you
got your order in for it.
Do you have any older mundane programs like Word, Works
that you have loaded? Do they work O.K.?
Did you have problems with drivers for printers and
scanners etc.?

I downloaded my copy of Win 64. There was an option of downloading, or you
could order a CD-Rom. I'm too impatient.

When I tried to increase my memory from 512 MB to 1 GB, the computer fried
upon start up. Yes, I unplugged everything and I was grounded. I've done
this sort of thing many, many times before. I must have touched something
that I shouldn't have (kidding). I have been building my own PC's for ten
years and I've never had a problem like this before.

My T-6000 was a refurb and I got it really cheap. It came with Win XP Home.
I plan on using a different hard drive for Win 64. The computer hasn't
returned from warranty repair yet. So, I haven't ran Win 64 as yet.

eMachines sent me a post paid shipping container. You can't ask for better
than that. We'll see how it works when it gets back.
