Bios only see's half my memory when it's turned on

It only shows the correct amount after I reboot.It's not a big issue,but it annoys me when I can't solve something.

Backing up cassettes & 8tracks to cds

Hi, a friend wants to back-up his old cassettes and 8 tracks.I'm not sure if he wants them as wav. or mp3.What free software is best for this?Also is there any specific hardware required? or do you just hook-up the inputs through the soundcard?Any links or advice appreciated.Thanks.

Would this work as a thermal compound in a pinch?

Only reason I ask is because we use a lot of it at work,so I thought I'd ask around.Maybe next time I clean up my hsf I'll try it out.Thx.
