Is upgrading a Dell Pentium 4 3.2GHz PC worth it?
I have a Dell Dimension 5150 with a Pentium 4, 3.2GHz and 1MB RAM. Is this worth upgrading the CPU and memory.
I'm mostly using it for internet browsing, Office applications (some bigger spreadsheets) and imaging and video editing. I don't use it for gaming.
thanks
Pete

3 AnswersAbuse and Spam1 decade agoMicrosoft Excel and VLOOKUP results for text?
Hi, I'm trying to calculate the number of time a word appears in a log file using MS Excel. The word can appear as an exact match or in a string of text. For example if I has a .xls file with two columns with the following
red bananas (100)
Apples (20)
Green Bananas (50)
Bananas (10)
Orange (40)
I would like to know that all references to bananas = 160 (100+50+10).
Can anyone help with the vlookup function in MS Excel to help me calculate this. I don't know how to overcome the fact that a word can appear on its own or in a string of text

1 AnswerHome Theatre2 decades agoProblems with Apple Airport on a PC?
I have a new PC running Windows XP (service pack 2). I have iTunes 6.0.3.5 installed. I access the internet with a Linksys Wireless ADSL switch (WAG45G). I can connect to the internet via the switch with my notebook using a wireless card and a WEP key.
I’ve just bought a new AirPort Express and I can’t get it to work.
When I try to run the Airport Setup Assistant I get the following pop up message
“This computer has no wireless interface enabled or Windows is not set up to manage wireless networks on this computer. If you have a wireless card installed, click Cancel to quit this application, verify that the wireless interface is enabled and allow Windows to configure wireless network settings on this computer. Otherwise click OK to continue and configure the base station using Ethernet”
Can anyone recommend what else I can do to configure the Airport
