Right well i'm trying to ascertane which of my memeory sticks is faulty if at all as my games keep locking up so i think some part of my hardware is flaky

Anyways i boot up vista with 1GB and OMG its horrific....constant HDD use, takes ages to load anything. I wanted to try COD4 as thats one of the games that crashes. After ages for it to load, i set it to lowest settings and play a game.....i use the term "play" lightly as I could do anything but! The hard drive was going bananas, constant jerking, so much so it wasnt playable at all.

Why is vista like this? surely it can cope with 1Gb just literally to play cod4 at lowest settings?

Anything I can tweka so that I can actually test the game?
 
I would run memtest but i cant get it onto a cd - vista is yet again being difficult. I havent tried different slots yet, it took long enough to get it settled down as it is!
I'll try the different slots tomorrow, but memtest is a no go u ntil i can get to another pc!
