Just when I think its time for a new computer and ordered it to, or should i say won it on ebay, my computer starts acting all fast and crap. granted I havent done any art work stuff today but still surfing is super fast and no intermittent freezing. Anyways I won the bid on a brand new in the box thinkstation e30, and im in the process of ordering ecc ram for a total of 16g which will be a far cry from my current rig of 2g. It feels like Christmas almost just with out all the Christmas crap bah hum bug! Thanks Pierre for all the help.
