    You can reformat your machine.. it will run fast for a while.. then after all the windows updates it will begin to get slower, then after various downloading and installing it will get even more slower, within a few months it will be slowing to a halt again. As for downloading mp3s on ares. Running a virus scanner is going to slow you down a hell of alot more than ares will unless youve downloaded some realy dodgey stuff off there but if you were running a virus scanner and just downloading mp3s it is highly unlikely ares will cause a problem. Id recomend reformating and buying some more ram.

    Only normal mp3 music downloaded on Ares. Would any of the RAM on play inmy above post be okay for my machine?? Posted details in my first post

  • yea anything thats pc3200 should be fine but get a branded memory eg kingsom corsair ocz otherwise you may have compatibility problems (still possible but less likely with the better quality ram).
