my pcs got 512 worth of ram - quick amd processor (cant remember off hand) so i cant see the prob. i do have a virus scan that runs but at 3am in the morning. heres a sample of it kicking in and then jsut stopping for no reason. i also restarted the pc so i would have a fresh start so nothing could mess it up http://www.doc12inch.co.uk/temper/distortion.mp3
