Thank you Patrick. I may just do that. I plan on adding more memory too so I may just buy . Believe it or not I have 2 gigs on this thing and a lot of times I only have 35% free. Something is certainly a resource hog. I've usually only got firefox open and WMP going at the same time. I'm waiting to add a new anti virus to my machine. Zonelabs does'nt have a Vista compatable anything yet. I do love my zonealarm. I think I'm gonna try Macaffee for an antivirus this time round. As soon as the three months of Norton are up on this machine;>
