A bit OT....All my cables are hidden by notebooks filled with tutorials to hide my cables(like you I have quite the cable salad)...out of 5 cats 2 are cable chewers >:(. That said, back on topic...I was able to upgrade quite a bit here this last go around...I wanted to upgrade to 64 bit chip...but my MB is already obsolete(from upgrade a year ago >:(...)So, it is my & my hubbies "hope" that this upgrade will last at least 2-3 years. This is becoming quite tiring to say the least. I upgraded to a 3.2ghz processor & Nvidia 6800 Ultra VC & the 4g of ram. I could have gotten a 64 bit processor, but it would have been hitting the $1000-1500 mark o.O..would have to special ordered....My memory sticks had to be special ordered as well.

My techie did some tinkering with settings all over the XPPro OS...have no idea what he did...but everything is flying...beyond my expectations...He said XP could use 2g+...you just had to mess with some things...those things I'm not willing to do ;). Ditto Above as well...scanner/printer/tablet 2 sets of Klipsch speakers....in addition my husbands puter mess to the left of me...he's into music...so there is all kinds of mixers/piano keyboard/speakers/micorphones dangling all over..... ~sigh~ puter junkies
