My new "old" computer
I'll try not to be too wordy here. I wanted to increase my system RAM from 2 to 6 gig. In order to do this effectively with my ASUS P5 WIFI motherboard and Windows XP I needed to upgrade to Windows 7 . I backed up everything to D: drive and promptly picked up a virus that chewed up C: drive. No problem! I was going to overwrite it with the new operating system anyway. I was incredibly fortunate that I had just backed up everything before the virus.
The end result is a super fast & powerful system with 6 gig of high speed RAM running 64 bit Windows 7. All my software has been reloaded as 64 bit and is running lightning fast. Adobe Photoshop CS5 with OneOne Genuine Fractals 6, PhotoTools 2.5 & PhotoFrame 4.5.1 is so cool. I'm now also running dual monitors, a 22" ASUS and my 37" Toshiba LCD. Can't begin to tell you how wonderful it all is running through my Sony stereo. Pictures will follow.
