Shaun, thats very nice of you for the offer, are you saying that the system is not THAT bad just upgrade to more RAM?

like cos I thought in computer terms its probably ancient??

Anyway b4 I do anything I'll have a Squizz in
Harvey Normans tomorrow and see what they are offering, as I say there is more than one problem with the desktop, and my feeling is I may as well upgrade NEW, rather than throwing good money after bad. (I think I'd be the mug they are waiting for) the repairers that is!

Will be in touch!
