PC Upgrade - A few questions

I'm sure you'll find others coz I know I saw a few when I was looking into mobos.
Am working from the new machine -
Went for 4 GB RAM, after all & an ATI Radeon 4850, another Lashiec recommendation! :)
I still have to play with the BIOS but the speed difference is pretty obvious - Firefox 2, which has tempted me on more than one occasion to put my fist through the display, takes 4 seconds to start. :-*
I restored the last (Acronis) image from the old system and miracle of miracles, XP started without a hitch, literally saving me weeks of grunt work - I was expecting to have to run a 'repair' at the very least coz of the mobo/CPU change, but the computer gods must be in a good mood!

I'd have liked a serving of that a few weeks back :)

Wow, that's quite an unexpected event. A first I dare to say :)
BTW, talking about the 4 GB purchase, are you using or planning to use a 64-bit OS?

I was wondering the same thing...
nosh:
Nope, I'm on 32bit - no plans on making the shift to 64 either. I was aware of the 3.x GB limit, FWIW, if that's why you're asking.
A first I dare to say :)

Maybe coz I prayed so damn hard? :D
Forgot to mention this before:
WTF moment of the day: Gigabyte offering to install the Yahoo! Toolbar along with its chipset drivers.
