Firefox has been getting to be more and more of a pain over the last few updates. It's finally gotten intolerable.
Also, Beyond Compare is using unreasonable amounts of RAM (I've seen it over 3 gig, and this is only an 8 gig system!)
So I've bitten the bullet. I got a new to me system a few months back that I was going to use for something else, but instead I'm going to use it to replace this system. It's got 24 gig of RAM and a quad core (or maybe hexcore) CPU. Also has 5 internal SATA connectors and one eSATA connector.
It's going to be a pain because I'll have to move a bunch of hardware over. BD-R drive, 3 HDs, and maybe some other things.
Hopefully the performance will improve to usable again.
