He will be wondering what to do with the extra bits and hoping none of them should be in the system.

You'd be right spare bits are going in the loft might be tempted to flog the memory though.

I did have a few problems like when you run an ssd and a regular hd windows stupidly likes to put the boot partition on d and the rest on c, what's that one all about?!

Oh also my w7 disk didn't like to boot, in the end i managed to find a vista disc and after installing that ran w7 from there.

Apart from the usual silly niggles it's all running very sweetly, i might have to invest in a fan controller as thermaltkae fans do whirr a bit, great flow though.

And how big is that 5970, awesome card now throwing on some mod2 though i will have to put bf2 on to see what this server of yours is like.

Cheers fatboy.

Same story, different content... it finally arrived today

Makes you wonder how countries that have near constant snow don't turn into turmoil all the time
