I did yank everything and still the same so I think it's 'left the building' but got some money sorted for new system and get one in the next few weeks. Thanks for the input guys smile

Ah, that new pc smell! Good time to move to Win7 if you haven't already. I think that will be my excuse for a new Ion based netbook early next year. wink

32bit can only use ~3GB of RAM; 64bit can use much, much more. Also note that the software you run needs to be 64bit also to utilize the most RAM; but 32bit apps will still work (just can't use as much RAM). As of right now there's really no reason not to go 64bit since (hopefully) more and more companies will start writing software for 64bit

I went 32 bit, since one of my FS9 addons is a 16 bit external app, which won't run under 64 bit OS. And I can choose 64 bit later if it's needed.

No real loss, since I have no plans on upgrading my 2GB of memory anytime soon.

if running bare bones dont do it, its the CPU, BIOS, VRM or something that regulates the power on the board..
