For further reference: the fastest CPU you can get running with GX 240 is Pentium4 2,8GHz 400 MHz FSB (it has to be 400!) model SL7EY. I got mine for $11,80 from eBay (free shipping!) and with GeForce 4 MX 440 (low profile), 1GB RAM (max) this old piece of hardware is a speed daemon not worse than a modern PCs when it comes to a home tasks like web browsing with Flash, YT, movies etc.

It turned out that Aleric’s problem was due to an unreliable CD-ROM drive/disc combination. Windows simply couldn’t access the driver files that it needed. These are packed into large files.

I had that issue. Was the V90 Fax modem that came with the system. It didn’t hurt anything, the fax modem just didn’t work. Since I had no use for this ancient component, I removed the fax modem card to get rid of the error.

Windows has a Device Manager where you can see the status of installed device drivers.

I just installed Windows 7 and Service Pack one on four GX240 everything is great except the Audio Driver Problem. I bought a 5 pack of Geforce 5200 low profiles and they work fine. Thanks for the site!
