OK

now last week i was going around to yardsales
that people were having and i found some guy selling computer parts
so i asked how much

turns out he was selling a whole computer
1.6 Ghz
60G HD
idk RAM
and also threw in some
unknown cards too (sound, modem, and something i cant figure out)

long story short (too late)
the guy said the only thing wrong was that he fried the BIOS
by having it in the HOME position instead of the WORK? position
but he was willing to give it to me for 25 bucks so i bought it
i figured the worst that can happen is i blew 25 bucks
on what would eventually function as a table
but i still wanna see if i can get it to work

so he's the nOObness
1.where can i get a BIOS chip?
(i imagine you cant just go out ad buy
one you have to order)
2.is ANY BIOS chip ok?
3.how do i install it?
4.then what?

id like to have this computer
as a backup because i also have a nice
9200 ATI card and another 60G HD i found
that id like to throw in it
and i was thinking on having on HD be WIN98
(for older games)
and one be LINUX

can someone please help me
on this because i know your all guru's
it would be much appreciated and
ill buy you a soda or something (haha)

thanks in advance!!
