If you have even a remote chance of having hardware
problems, then you probably shouldn't waste too much
time trying to debug these problems. PC hardware is
cheap. Don't waste your (and our) time with hardware
problems. Used working (but old) PCs that haven't been
manhandled can usually be had for around $20 - $30. A
store near me had a whole stack of PII 333's for $35
each. Guaranteed for some short period of time (plenty
to ensure it worked). That's plenty machine.
