Who are you? I have no problems with anything concerning cpu or memory usuage with my computer. It works just fine. It is limewire that needs to improve upon it design. I appreciate your advise but I don't think the remedy is to run out and buy a new computer, at least not quite yet! LOL ...I have run previous more stable versions of limewire on my computer in the past without all the frills. Although I also run other p2p programs with allot more frills then limewire with excellent results. I like limewire, it just seems like something was lost in the last few version mainly huge amounts of cpu and memory. I think this can certainly be improved upon. I patiently wait for the next version to arrive in hopes that this will be the one that got it right. Thank Grandpa for your prompt advise it is appreciated truly but I think I will wait awhile and see what limewire does first.
