Just wanted to thank the people who suggested some bits & pieces to check on my PC when she went tits up (back in dec). I was so annoyed I wasn't thinking straight! :D
Anyhoo, in the end, it was a faulty stick(s) of RAM. So I'm back down to 2Gb of RAM until the RMA is sorted.
Anyhoo, she also is running RAID 0 now with my 2 150Gb Raptor's installed a whole load of games onto it last night, probably 2/2.5 times as quick in this set-up to when I was running programs from my 7200RPM Barracuda.
Anyhow, just wanted to say a big thanks! :)

Yeah, it was a bit of a head-banging against the wall for a bit...
But I think I'll leave her as she is for a while, no more upgrading for a bit. It's quite fast enough :)
Ooooh but SLi'd GTXs would be nice :D
