well strangely enough it's really slowed down now... takes around 6 mins just to shut down now, instead of the 30 secs it was 5 hours ago... i didn't do anything to the speed of the memory, just happened... i'm kinda worried now... getting audio problems like disruption e.t.c. and i cant even reformat because it's so slow it doesn't want to load up anything for that apart from the background and eventually the mouse, but i'm waiting about 15 mins for just that... definitely gonna have a chat with CSM about this... so p*ssed off...
btw, had to send this message on my old computer... thats how bad it is
[EDIT]
well i just switched it on again and it seems to be running at a reasonable speed again, nowhere near what it used to be though... ram latency times are already set to 5.0-5-5-15... i'll check around for such forums... thanks
