Thanks Kelly, that site is quite interesting in showing the differences. A more Mac OS type of feel certainly intrigues me but as you say I will be waiting at least a year before I do any serious upgrades.

As for the second question a majority of the problem started when I loaded Mechwarrior 4 on the the system. Initially for reasons unexplained (I must have installed something) the screen resolution will sometime change when I start the machine up. When this happens it doesn’t seem to affect much except when I shut down the “standby’ option is not available. The machine also doesn’t come out of standby very well if at all and requires a full reboot. Anyway… I load the game and now I am told the hardware is insufficient, which cannot be true as the board new than the game. The problem is solved if I lower the graphic quality in the game. So is it that the drivers are not compatible with the game and require an upgrade? Or some other strange conflict?
