Should be OK, as long as there is enoguh room on the hard drive >18Gb.

Maybe a little slow at number crunching, but should cope with it............

@Dr.xp - you're welcome, how's it going; saw a couple replies on the overclocking amd 2800 athlon xp' thread over the last couple o' days, the thread's still hanging in there. I daren't start looking any further in the PC-related forums, i'll never come up for air or go to work. I'm trying to restrict myself to the DVD burning areas for now :)

@Dr.xp - do me a favour and pass this link on http://forums.afterdawn.com/thread_view.cfm/193298 and also get your friend to gen up a bit on media brands to use/not to use, crap media causes so much grief and keeps a lot of us very busy over on these forums :)
