Does anyone know of a utility that runs under Windows XP Pro and will read and display the various timings of my installed memory?

I am using Windows XP Pro with Outlook Express 6.0 as an email client. I am about to make some equipment changes and reinstall the OS. Which files do I need to backup so that I do not lose my messages and address book? When I tried to "export" the files, it told me that it could not be done...

I'm planning an HTPC mostly for gaming. I've got the mouse and keyboard covered, but what other wireless controllers are available? A joystick maybe?

I have two Seagate drives attached to the onboard SCSI in on an Asus P2B-DS. Only one shows in my OS - Windows XP Pro. Entering the host adapter's setup - both drives are listed. It knows they're both there, what they are and how big they are. However the boot up info only lists a size for...
