He's opened up the throttle at about 120mph when he's cleared the curve it climbs quickly but steadily to 140 and the rev limiter kicks in jumping to 189. either the back wheel is spinning (kinda suicidal on a bike, but might be stable enough on a straight) or he's slipping th...

Hmm, advice. 2 gig of ram is definately worth doing, it's dirt cheap these days so you may as well. Keep in mind that you can't actually use more than this without a 64 bit operating system. 5400 rpm hard drive is the absolute slowest you want, aim for 7200 if you can but don't get hung up on it, by...

as long as you can find the slot, and get the right sort of memory it's just a matter of popping the old chip out and slotting the new one in. the ram is usually held in place by side clips, release these and it should spring out to a 45 degree angle. grip it by the edge of the circuit board and pul...

The biggest single reason for a PC running slow is a lack of available memory (you didn't say how much ram you have). on a fresh install the only demand on this memory is the operating system (XP in this case) and any programs you decide to run. Over time, when you install programs some will load pa...
