or another thing that tends to make it clunk is if i get into a situation where i got several apps opening and at the same time trying to access the hdd

(i have a tendancy to have a load of apps open)

atm i have firefox, messenger with messenger plus addon, aim, word, outlook, antivirus and firewall running.

and i still got over 64mb ram free LOL not bad considering i had 384mb to start with and its running xp
