Since both PCs have modems, is it possible to have either one dial in on behalf of the two? For example if someone turns the 200MMX on and connects to the net, then later the Duron 1200 is turned on, will the 1200 user just be able to open a browser and use the net too? (and vice-versa) Just...

An unorthodox option that you could also consider if you own a Digital Video camcorder is to run your VCR through the video-in on the DV cam and run a FireWire cable from the DV cam to your PC. Mind you, the quality could be degraded due to the fact that the signal would convert a couple of times.

At my place, we've got two PCs on a split phone line, each with the same dialup internet connections. This works on the basic level that you can log onto the net using either computer, however when one computer's connected obviously the entire line's busy so that the other computer can't dial...

Thanks for the feedback. Could indeed be the ram...Found that with the offending games (GTA3,Warcraft 3,Max Payne,Master RallyYE) they would lock after about 30 seconds or so of onscreen 3d activity (not just on 2d menus) - might suggest that my ram is progressively "filling" untill it overloads...

Just installed a GeForce 4 Ti 4200 after i found that old classics like GTA 3 and Max Payne would crash habitually after 30 seconds in on my 420 MX, only to find that to my horror, It still happens! Mind you in those 30 seconds before I'm thrown back to windows or in GTA 3's case the computer...
