Doc have you lost 'it' today ? All the following is tounge in cheek, don't be biting!

There'll be a question at least ... why don't you need cabs ? .. Answer: because you go on the bus !:D ... go on then why don't we need the windows cab files? I pressume you mean present on the hard drive ? - generally if there's a 'fat enough' harddrive present I sling 'em on anyway just in case ;)
'Farstone Retore It' is one of those 'evil' proggies like 'GoBack', once installed it to a great extent duplicates what system resore is up to, it also supposedly allows recovery from viral attack, most notably restoring your boot sector. Its for NUMPTIES - if you managed the xp install on your own, remove this proggie, put it back in its box & send off for a refund - IMHO - PANTS ! absolute pooh! forget it - causes more trouble than its worth ;)

Dual channel is Dual channel
-my most insightful!
Dual channel is a technology which allows two sticks of DDR (double data rate) memory to be both addressed simultaneously, effectively producing QDR (quadruple data rate {of the system bus speed}), to gain this advantage you need paired sticks in the appropriate slots or else it works like ordinary ddr.
& Hurrah you got the last one right ! :eek2: ;) ... though I might have tempered it with the suggestion to either get a 'real' video card (rather than onboard with shared memory) or at least suggested that you look at your bios options & up your shared memory (if you can) - anything with any element of sophistication in its graphics would most likely benefit from more reserved video memory.
Right I'm done now, being all superior & all !
Whether 'that is all' is true or not, there's a '5' !
I add cabs & change the system install paths to the directory where they are, so I can run sfc quick (or whatever) even when windows has managed to disappear the cd drives again ! or find any other files I might want from time to time, when 'someone' has lost the cd again ! makes repairs/re-installs etc a breeze all for a paltry few mb's... I can think of many instances where having your Windows cd 'on disk' can be handy (not just the cab files - so i'll qualify that then)
Yup he only wanted to know whether his dual channel was on or not ! -guilty !- however according to this Intel 865 chipset white paper -pdf - this chipset can either effectively 'interleave'(that's what dynamic paging is), or be qdr, or interleave the qdr, but it can't be qdr with odd slots filled but it can still interleave. So nope the two things don't mean exactly the same thing, but here the messages do result in the same thing, that is, its going at full whack!
& who's trying to sell him anything? I'm just pointing out that i865 graphics ain't no great shakes especially with only a little memory & the twiddles you have to do to the memory timings (thus doing away with some of your dual channel gains).
& real reason for posting ...
There's a 5 !

That's the file that among other things defines the size of your IE window .. specifically it is 'Used by Windows applications to add web, file, network and document browsing capabilities'
But I dunno if I understand the question !
