        your CPU is getting hot, (General Chat) - NCFC4life, Aug 30, 11:51:11
        
        Yeah, Flash is a big old CPU hog (General Chat) - BerlinCanary, Aug 30, 11:54:11

        Well that looks normal (General Chat) - BerlinCanary, Aug 30, 11:58:14

        it does sound like you need to upgrade the memory though. (General Chat) - NCFC4life, Aug 30, 11:46:24
        
        Just gave the scan a go and it suggests adding up 3GB to existing (n/m) (General Chat) - conker, Aug 30, 11:48:29
        
        Hmmm (General Chat) - BerlinCanary, Aug 30, 11:52:25
        
        Really? (General Chat) - conker, Aug 30, 11:55:18

        Are new blocks of memory plug and play? (n/m) (General Chat) - conker, Aug 30, 12:17:28
        
        God, no! (General Chat) - BerlinCanary, Aug 30, 12:22:00
        
        Oh super, I look forward to shutting down the PC to installing it (General Chat) - conker, Aug 30, 12:24:45
