Let me guess, FM 09 doesnt work on your PC Gaz?

It seems that it needs much more power than FM 08 according to threads on the SI website.

I think they may have dropped a bollock with this

What's your spec at the moment Gaz? Would also be useful to know the make and model of your pc if it's branded orthe motherboard make and model as well if you have a non-branded pc.

Are you using Vista or XP (and which version)?

What sort of things do you do on the pc and what things do you want to speed up?

If you answer those questions I'm sure myself and a few others can help you out. But if you know what you need already I've used these sites in the past:

www.ebuyer.com
www.dabs.com
www.overclockers.co.uk

Is that PC3200 or PC5300 184 or 240 pin memory? as I am pretty sure Gaz is running either PC2700 or PC3200 memory 184 pin.

£7 for 1gb aint bad, the cheapest I can get for 1gb of PC6400 is £7.99
