Hi Everyone
I'm Neilgray and I'm here to hopefully discover exactly how a PC operates and how to make my new HP Phoenix behave like a trusted friend rather than a sulky child who didn't want to go to the zoo! The zoo in this case is Second Life which seems to use up all my cpu power in a trice yet it works ok on fairly modest laptops, likewise "The Sims 3" which doesn't really show much improvement from an HP costing half the price.
I look forward to a useful voyage of discovery which I hope will not end up on Ebay!
