Thanks for everyone who dived in, but I think I'm going with the "if it ain't broke" approach. The system is working well, absolutely rock solid...

Pete Very slow as in, change a setting, go away, make a coffee and read the paper. This morning, errors 3006 and 3011 are still there, but they...
Pete, You are not wrong there. Yeah, I ran chkdsk as part of the first batch of diagnostics, and I have memory test utility I've used before for...
