I used on board for a while. I had the money to upgrade the mb but not the gpu. Then I went and got a nice shiny GF7800. What I find funny is when gamers go buy these beasts with 3 ATI1900X chained together with a 2000W PSU then say "hah! I get 1000fps, mine is bigger than yours!" and I just point out "your monitor only updates 80 times a second. 920 of those fps you paid so much for in hardware and power aren't leaving the buffer."

Thanks for all the advice. I run Clean Up! all the time and defrag regularly. By the way, and I know you will laugh, but the games I was referring to were literatti and sudoku.

I had realized my ram was sort of puny but I wanted to be sure there wasn't something running and using a ton of it that I wasn't aware of.

I will get more RAM installed

Thanks All,
John

Most new PCs come with a ton of things running at startup that just aren't necessary. In addition, certain invasive programs like Real Player and Quicktime insist on running at startup when they're not needed. Adopey acrocrap leaves processes running after you close it. AOL also has lots of processes that might not have been deleted when you deleted the program.
