My ati video card is vibrating. Do I need to worry about this quickly? Do I really need to buy a new video fast?

Has anyone got this combination working? Im not impressed with ATI, the install is abysmall and the computer will only boot into safe mode, a boot into normal mode results in random graphics and lockups. The 5000 has a VIA 82C586A chipset and AMP CPU, possibly not the best match in the computing...

I have an old Presario I am trying to upgrade for a training project for a beginner. The original factory install of Win 95 was ok but all the other stuff just took up HD space. I want to install a version of Win 98se or another Win 95 (legal copies). I ran fdisk and format to the HD. Now on...

I am trying to build a Linux mailserver out of one of these machines but at a cold boot I get a message that the machine has noted the two drives and I must hit F1 to save these. I do so and the screen goes black and a moment later the lilo boot takes off just fine. I have gone into setup (F10)...
