happy to say 'da beast' runs very well! Vista Home Premium and all!
Been a year plus, now...upgrade time.

I am doubling my RAM to the max...8GB
What I want to do, is use the 150GB SATA 10000RPM drive exclusively for my operating system(s)...Partition in half and use Vista Home Premium and Linux. Is this a good idea?
I needed the storage...so I think this solves my plans for the future too...as well as speed things up.

"He who joyfully marches to music rank and file, has already earned my contempt. He has been given a large brain by mistake, since for him the spinal cord would surely suffice. This disgrace to civilization should be done away with at once. Heroism at command, how violently I hate all this, how despicable and ignoble war is; I would rather be torn to shreds than be a part of so base an action. It is my conviction that killing under the cloak of war is nothing but an act of murder." (Albert Einstein)
