Hello Rob,

Do you know I thought about updating the network card driver and decided not to bother as I thought the PC is fairly new anyway ... well 15 months old actually!!

I've just done it and on a couple of tests a minute or so apart it has gone from 1.33MB to 1.6MB.

Tks for that matey. Any other good tips like that one would be mucho appreciated. Or like you say, p'raps it's Vista doing something well.

See ya,

Phil

Rob,

I forgot to say that both are running the virus and spyware checkers that come with ZA Pro. The laptop is also running Windows Defender but I'm not sure that will drag it down.

What other parts of the desktop do you think I should check for updated drivers? None of them seem really relevant to 'performance' other than the network card.

See ya,

Phil
