    Maybe.. . I'm curious, if it does crash, the settings aren't permanent and prevent it from turning on again? What would I need to do if that were to happen.

    Maybe I'll press the auto-OC button after I open her up today and throw in some more ram .

    I know people keep telling me not to be worried, but I am very paranoid as to why my ram usage is high. The ram is on a great sale anyways. I've been reading x64 systems, the more they have the more they love. But the calculations still just don't make sense to me, as I used to run a 4gb system just fine, and now i'm already consuming 5gb's with no games open. 54% usage right now on my ram is bugging me .

    I mean,
    8109 Total
    3700 cached
    3750 available
    50 free

    just don't sound right to me. I understand that the rest of my available ram is cached for super fetch, but where the hell did I end up using 5 gigs :P. I've already ran through all my start up programs etc but meh. If it doesn't fix anything, then oh well, at least I have more ram.. in case I ever get back into video editing .
