    actually, after just re-reading my post (something i should have done before posting!), The Giver came along post-dump day didn't he? instead it would be correct to say my current 168 SR posts would have come from discussions with The Giver.

    I think I need More RAM

    nope, 4gb ram doesn't have to be fault or photoshop :) i'm wondering why the RAM on this machine reads 32mb less than clockers. it's not having to share mem with anything, eg video.
