Excellent advise, many thanks for your responses, I have plenty to work with now, by the way Stefan, the mother board is a Gigabyte, GA M61SME -S2, well that is what is written on it.
This is just going to be an extra machine for Alice to work with, her Lappy is getting old and slow, and she dose grumble about it sometimes.
It dose not have to be real flash, as long as it works well for her.
