Bound to be next to no fan clubs around in Hastings, hm?

The part in question must be shipped from that unpseakable hellhole north of the Bombays - it's a freebie as the PC is still under warranty. My "ouija board" is the PC of a close friend of mine, the Rarotongan who first introduced me to puke His system runs Windows ME with 128MB of RAM, and it is as slow as my Win98 with only 64. Fortunately, as he's only had it a month, the "gee whizz" factor hasn't worn off yet. I, on th other hand, am salivating at the prospect of jumping from 64MB to 192 in the near future.
