Tentative Plans for my New Quad-Core PC

One of my ram modules presumably went kaboom few days ago, as my "workstation" desktop system meter reads 510MB ram instead of 1024MB previously. so I am very much left with 50% of my available capacity with me now. As an analogy there are 2 ways to deal with a faulty car fan belt- you can choose...

Post 2007 Moulmein Intra-Con Run, Farewell Coach Robin
