sounds like you should install win2k instead.
My server is not responding so the ip may have changed. Not installed the no-ip client yet so all my redirections will not be working. If you're gonna be testing on the weekend, I can try to get back there and fix it tonight. Damn! I should have installed the client!
If you can wait till saturday night then I'll fix it then as well as installing the no-ip client so this sort of debacle is less likely to occur

when the power supply works it's looking ok
can't quite diagnose where the intermittant fault is
if it does die at least it will have xp on it!!!

oh boy! tom's hardware review of the

nvidia 6800 makes me want to delay buying a card but then its never a good time to buy hardware and an ATI 9600Pro is still gonna blow my sox off compared to my geforce 2 mx 400 64Mb
<can we have a geek furiously wanking emoticon please?>
from all I've read, ATI cards rule at the moment in terms of immage quality as well as performance
