hehe... well I usually have the sound off.  But tonight it is raining and sometimes it has trouble dealing with rain (or lots of clouds).  On the performance page I have two memory panals (neither in percentages).  One of them is physical and one is kernal.  So I should open that next time I reboot to see how its doing?
This is probably a dumb question.... I know I have lots of ram because I put in two 512 mb cards myself.  And I installed that new hard drive and it isn't even half full  yet.  But CPU so often is the limiting factor... how does a person get more of that?  And I think the computer would run better with a better graphic card, but it might not be worth putting one in this computer... its a 1.8 gigahertz Intel Pentium 4, 8 kilobyte primary memory, 512 secondary.  What are 'good' machines having these days?
Thanks for helping me.
hehe... my computer was blaming me and I was thinking it was passing the buck... they do seem to have personalities, don't they?
