Due to the 4GB memory limit of 32bit ... and due to the fact that my love for Google Chrome's ability to run (counting them now...) ..ok, I"m back ... 90 web browser tabs spread out in 6 windows .. makes 4GB unworkable .. I've got to go through the never-totally-fun process of a fresh install of Widows 7 x64 on my main 'puter .. the Vista x64 --> Win7 x64 upgrade path already failed :( Surfed in on this thread after installing 10.5.7 on my iMac & having it fail to reboot but then it came up in 'safe mode' (jeez, that's windozey) .. seemed to work ok, so rebooted again & find the update seems to have finished OK .. 'cept everything that was on my desktop is vanished .. oh well.. iMac is only a curiousity 'round here. Vista was OK, Windows 7 is what vista wanted to be.. solid !
