I was just going to say I'm thinking of switching it to linux . I don;t plan on every using it for gamming but the reason I was doing all of this was to see if the RAM is still good or if it was just the lack of clean up on the PC that was causing memory problems. It's it lack of clean up I'll switch to linux otherwise I'm going to get it fixed/upgrade hardware then upgrade to XP. and it's more lik $99 for XP
