ok Sarge
AGP Minimum 64Mb Needs - Games (but im not a dedicated plaer) (Ermm.. spreadsheets??? - Not really needed them mate & certainly not on a 21") Is that better?

What mustard needs cutting? Are you trying to look at spreadsheets on a 21" monitor, are you playing graphics intensive games, or what?

If you consider pointing out problems with a munged addy which includes a stolen domain name as picking fault, you don't seem to have much of a grasp of issues like private property and SPAM. |
