Are they both LCDs? If not, it might be less of a squeeze if they were. Plus LCDs give you extra mounting options. It's kinda hard to give suggestions, not having seen how things are at the moment.

That'd run it easily [though if you can find room in your budget for an extra 1GB, you'd appreciate the difference - in general I mean].

75? [img]Download Failed (1)[/img] What the hell have you got running? Let me get this straight - you rebooted, & the only things you've started are Firefox, your email prog, & WinTV [& Task Manager to see your running processes]
You said that not bloating up the machine was a concern for you, but at this precise moment I have 8 processes less than you running, but
way more actual apps running [assuming I haven't misunderstood your comment about how much you started after rebooting], which leads me to think that:
a) you've picked up some spyware &/or other malware from somewhere, or...
b) you have a bunch of unnecessary processes running at startup that were installed by various apps, but do very little [if any] good, & actually bog down/bloat your machine, or...
c) a bit of both.
If you want to sort it out, start a separate thread & I'll help you get it sorted.

True, I suppose.
