what do u mean? anyways SSD's are alot more expesnive than normal HDD i still have a good amount of functionality, like halo 2, aero,etc... as i said above i just wanted a challenge, BIOS overclocking can go along way (for advanced users though), the stuff i ordered on the day i sorted everything out was some more fans and a higher voltage PSU, this meant i could overclock it alot more. SDD disk speeding things up alot too (read info on the web if you unsure what SSD are), i also stated above that i got rid of some programs like "SQL server, web server, ftp server, mail server" which was mentioned in my first post. Edit: before i did all this stuff my footprint was around 300-320MB, on my other computer (1GBRAM, AMD 3000+, 256MB Graphics Card, standard comp really) its around 350MB
