Thanks for the responses.

I do have 2 1GB sticks of RAM, but unfortunately, the CPU fan that I bought is so 
big it prevents me from removing the sticks unless i remove the fan, which is glued 
in there.  So I guess that'll be my last resort.

I think I am going to hook up one of my two other hard drives and see what I get 
with that.  I'm pretty sure one of them already has windows on it, so hopefully I 
can just pop it right in there and boot up and see what happens.  

I will definitely get some anti-virus software and all of the other goodies to keep 
the system safe.

Thanks for the help!  This is the most annoying problem ever, especially since doing 
anything on the computer takes days instead of minutes, so running any sort of scan 
is just ridiculously long.

Thanks again!
