Ah well, I'm going to be installing and setting up my adsl modem/router combo soon, anyway.
I'd prefer to get a new CPU before formatting though, perhaps I'll be able to stick it out till the tnd of the month? Then it's new bios / mobo + video drivers, os & hardware install, all at once
Depends on how often I get this annoyance creeping in. Or how lazy I am hehe.
