your an aussie ?? great country mate.
1. cool looking pic n trilby hats.
hmm..given me an idea mate.
think i'll write a song bout a band called the trilbys
that rok out heavy.
2. re church choirs,
the choirmaster didnt approve of my rok gig..lol.
i loved church choirs...nothing quite like
a massed church choir going full bore.
or a massed church choir going full bore with
a classical orchestra and a rock band.
3. re the puter.
those "beeps" mate are very important.
they are a diagnostic tool.
what you should do is look up the motherboard giga manual..
(hopefully you can find it.)
and it will tell you what the beeps mean.
what form do the beeps take ??
its difficult to say without being there looking at your system.

i gotta be honest mate, if were me
(i put this in my tips in tips section..)
your prolly gonna be forced into a new system cos of the way
music software is headed. and the power needed.
when i went from a single processor like yours n upgraded
my resource load shot down from 70 pc to 20 pc.
for a few hundred buks consider a new amd 620 quad processor system .
eg ...heres the amd cheapo quad core processor.

if you get a new system load up on ram..its cheap.
and importantly 2 7200 rpm drives with 32 mb cache.
such drives here will do loads of traks n cost 70 buks each.
but if ya got the buks..i7 system all the way.
but they are still pricey.
all the best mate.
ps..i tried googling for your giga manual..no luck.
i would contact giga for it mate.


retired puter engr....powertracks on amd......NICE !
