Thanks so far. The PC isn't really that slow, I just fancy a tinker with it, Windows 7 brought a speed increase (probably due to clean install) and the SSD C drive also made quite a difference. Undoubtedly the shortage of memory is the single bottleneck - simple tool like Windows Experience gives me scores of 7 for processor, 6.6 for graphics and gaming graphics, 7.1 for primary hard disk but memory is the bottleneck at 5.5. But to improve that involves spending (mobo plus memory, so quite a bit for anything worthwhile), and I'm in the mood for tinkering but not spending!!
Points take Zero, especially re Via drivers!
But when you look at some peoples reported experience of raiding Windows 7 the results look amazing, even with small drives.
