Thanks for your help. I have done a complete reinstall of Vista now,
just incase the RAM problems had messed something up. I am quite
happy with the performance, it feels faster than my old machine
(Athlon XP 1700+) even with Aero. The graphics card isn't good for
games though as it's onboard, my old machine runs games better.

My performance rating is limited by the graphics card, which is 3.0
for 3D and 3.1 for 2D. The processord, HD and memory are 5 point
something, just below 6.

Well hope your system stays running OK now.
usually if there are problems they will show up pretty darn fast.
There is no way I'm going to go out an spend $$$$$ to get a better graphics
card,,,
so it looks like it will be a while before I'll be using Vista on a daily
basis...
