    I'm a bourbon man myself, so I'm fond of Evan Walker.

    For this, though, you're looking for technical-grade isopropyl alcohol: 98% or 99, the remainder is water, which is what you don't want. Most drugstore isopropyl is as low as 70%

    If you're feeling froggy (and rich), you can also grab a bottle of Stabilant-22a, also known as Tweak, which is reportedly the coolest stuff in the known universe. [ looks ] Wow; it's not as pricey as it used to be.

    Jerry Pournelle, who along with being a notable science fiction author, used to write a monthly column in the late, lamented Byte magazine all about small computers and how they made his life happily miserable, absolutely swore by this stuff.

    Well, the bad news is the problem does not appear to be the memory. I went ahead and removed the add-on memory, leaving only the original, and the PC crashed. I took out the original, put in only the add-on, and the PC crashed. I put all of it back in, reversing the original order, and the PC crashed.

    In a last-ditch effort to avoid calling Dell, I uninstalled, rebooted, reinstalled. Opened a New File, left the terrain perimeter in place, tried to do a 3D view of just the lot - KABOOM!

    $%#@&*^!!! Where's that Makers Mark, Absolut and Tanqueray we were talking about earlier....?

    That's odd. I believe a number of people in this forum use dual core or quad core processors. Please keep us updated.
