You may need to download and install Word Viewer to us the manual----------->http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/d...displaylang=en

You could upgrade the Memory,CPU and Video Card fairly cheap.

If you don't have Microsoft Word I uploaded a copy of Word Viewer
and a copy of your motherboard manual.You need Microsoft word or
Word Viewer to read the manual. If you need WinZip Go to the below link.
I use Winzip 8.1--->http://www.oldapps.com/winzip.htm


Go to below link and download ECS925 Motherboard zip.The zip file includes Word Viewer.
