    PC virus thingy going around

    Chippy. Done all that, just finished now (broadband problems). First impressions - not all that different. I'll give it a week, then post if I think it's faster. Thanks again for your help. GOP

    PC virus thingy going around

    This is weird! I was searching for overclocking cos my pc was sooo slow. I use AGV. So, thanks to Chippy's comment above, I will remove it and use another.

    Feeling brave - Apple and Elderflower TC
