That does sound painful. I feel your pain truly i do

Nothing worse than a slow computer.

i have a windows ME machine here, they are shocked their new printer wont install on it :rolleyes:

good luck with the build, im assuming its been done with gaming in mind?
if you are planning on doing any encoding, i highly recommend installing the lucid virtu software and finding apps that are compatible.

Good for mate. Atleast you chose to do a trade. Plenty of need for electricians. Good luck mate.
