Im guessing your runnning 1gb dimms or even 512mb....if you have 4 slots then 1gb dimms should be cheap.

just a 512.burnt my other half.plannin on 2x1gb and coz my mobo supports dual channel,it brings it up to 4gb?or should i get 2x2g and ignore the dual channel..btw,my mobo takes up to 4gb,not 2gb as said in my prev post..and has 2 slots.this model gigabyte GA-945GCM-S2L

being a desktop pc helps a lot since those don't have acpi management or cpu throttle.

I would recommend a fresh format and getting used to *only* using the machine for Traktor.

I'm positive that future updates particularly to the driver will make the S4 more friendly to the typical windows machine.
yup,been with me since 06 tho i had to change the mobo recently..noticed the *only*,does it apply to using the net and watchin movies etc..?coz its my only system atm
