I don't recall changing much that should have impacted performance, but it still seems to like to hang or lag or just throw a shitty sometimes when I really think it shouldn't. I'm thinking that an extra 2gb ram wouldn't go amiss when I get the money, but that's not for a little while at least. In the meantime, specs are in my sig. And here's a HJT log.

1170511	2011-01-17 21:07:00	My startup in terms of apps is pretty lean. Norton, ATI CCC, Realtek audio driver, touchpad driver and some random driver for my webcam. Not sure what that means either though. Checking my services though, it seems like rather alot are running compared to my desktop, and I'm not sure why. On a different note, I've still got some of the original bloatware installed on my machine. It doesn't run, as far as I know, but I didn't remove it for fear of breaking something. Do you think I could go ahead and just remove all of it? edit - And yes, I know, norton, blah blah blah. Funnily enough I took it off my old desktop and it now loads XP in a flash. Hah. But then that's not on the internet.	8ftmetalhaed (14526)
