thanks for the info, yeh i read about bottlenecking trying to find out all the info i need, and i have read about unlocking the cores etc but not sure i could do it, im not that great at stuff like that, i can do basic builds then boot and run lol, which is why im also trying to find out if i can try and download windows 7 ultimate and somehow run it on this computer, i have the key from a broken sony vaio laptop
