Hi Still loading some of my programmes and files and have noticed how quickly everything runs. I would have liked some information as to what you had done as I hadn't appreciated that without an OS, I had to download the drivers for the board et al. I am having difficulty with the dvd drive in that it is slow to respond. i have set up autoplay in the OS but it is still too slow. Perhaps you could advise me if I have to do anything in the BIOS. I should have ordered the OS at the same time as I hadn't appreciated that i couldn't use my existing OS despite the PC being committed to the the recycling process!! Microsoft wouldn't unblock the OS for me and told me i must buy a new code. All is well now. Any way, very impressed. Please consider some documentation/instructions; there must be a few other people like me who have only some knowledge of the internal workings of a PC!! cheers
