Hi Nuro

Already taken page file up to he max for Win XP Pro .

As you say I really need 64 bit Windows. An added bonus would be some extra memory, another 4-12 gig would do nicely and maybe a Bulldozer as they will fit into this MB and have 8 cores on them. (black edition please so I can do a little clock on it)

What's annoying is the last MB problem I had meant having to buy DDR3 so I actually have DDR2 spare and unused lying around. If it wasn't for that problem, I would have moved up to 64 bit win with 8 gig of ram by now. Best of it is the MB manufacturer wasn't able to fix the problem, despite it going back to them several times. It's out of warranty now so going to toss it in the WEEE recycling.

At the time I bought the GPU on this rig as a new toy I had been meaning to get for ages. So drained the IT budget for a while.

As I am the boss Lol (became self employed a few months ago) I don't have any IT guys working for me so it's up to me to go out an buy what is needed.

Need to wait for the next few payments to come in before I do that.

Also any purchases of this nature will be off set against any tax payable, just so long as I keep the receipts Very Happy

Even though this will be offset against tax, I can't just go and dip into the tax account to make the purchase because I need to make sure there is enough in there to pay tax when its due.

So gonna dream of more cores, ram and 64bit for a bit longer Very Happy
