[/ QUOTE ] [/ QUOTE ] Thanks, but I still don't understand what 'rebuild it' means...do I even have this so-called 'full' version of XP?? It came pre-installed on the Dell that I bought...so I'd imagine it's "full"...I wouldn't know where to restart in rebuilding this thing...is there an online FAQ of some sort...? Or should i just find a tech geek friend?

Re: Here\'s my current config --- what sucks?
By "rebuilding" that means taking a Windows XP disk from Microsoft and not HP, Dell, etc. and doing a clean install. This gets rid of stuff like (on my machine) Musicmatch, Dell Picture Studio, and other stuff I don't need.
When doing this, BACK UP ALL FILES TO CD-R or outside disk first!!!!! I'm guessing though that most people just don't have these laying around. My friend cracked mine [img]/images/graemlins/mad.gif[/img] Your system should be good for multitabling once the new RAM is in.

Re: Here\'s my current config --- what sucks?
You don't need a new computer.
Just clean out all the spyware and other junk that your HP box has accumulated. Upgrading the ram is a good idea. You don't really need to upgrade anything else. I'd go the full 1 gig route and get two 512 sticks for a total of 1 gig of ram, or if your mobo has 3 ram slots then you'd have 1.23 gigs.
