#2 was the solution to the "Wife thingy Problem" for me. The added bonus is she is more willing to agree to my upgrades because this ussually means she will gets an upgrade. ME: "Honey, if I upgrade my video card, then you can have my old one which has 8 times more memory than your current one." WIFE: "Okay, sweetie. Why don't you get yourself a cd writer while you're at it? Then you can make me some custom music cds." Boy, this is working great!!! John :)
