i've already been planning on getting another hdd, but that's basicaly to fill with more crap. i use my computer mostly for music and videos etc, that's why it has so much crap on it. will consider getting another processor down the line if you think it'd help a fair bit. at the moment just want to get this pausing thing figured out, because the thing is in canberra it was fine, here it isn't, and in between i haven't filled it up any more. but once i've freed up space i'll de frag and see what that does for it
