My system first then my problem and question.
At our business we have a small network, a server that is also a work station and two other computers as work stations. The server is a up to date system that uses windows XP, the other two systems a out of date, windows 98, 4 gig hard drive, small ram, I don't know off the top of my head the processor, but I'm sure its old.
My problem is once or twice a day my server will stop talking to the other computers and they will freeze, forcing us to reboot. I have been told this is a window XP and 98 communication problem. I have also been told that I cannot just simply install a bigger hard drive, more ram and a new processor to fix the problem, I need to buy a new computer. The computer person told me the older computers have a 16 bit system and the new ones have a 32 bit system. I have never heard of this. But my wife just built a mega computer from scratch, but had to have the tech do some of the hook up and work the bugs out of it. My thoughts are, if you can build one from scratch, why can't you rebuild an old one without replace everything?
Any help on this CATTLE board?
Thanks,
Alan
