Just a little update.
This is indeed the age of miracles, just as foretold.
Nice! For my Virtual Pipe Organ software speed is your friend along with copious amounts of RAM.
That is of course only if you shut off MS Updates as for some reason MS Updates never make a PC run faster but incrementally degrade the performance so that the NEW operating system will look attractive.
XP used to work fine then way too slow. My Win 7 PC was stellar until MS Updates bloated it. How long before Win 8 slows to a crawl? Most likely just in time for the next OS.
