512 MB memory...2.3GHz Pentium processor. This was a problem before and a reformat fixed it (or so it would seem). The thing is that I really would rather not reformat again until I get a second hard drive because it took me literally about 8-10 hours last time (deciding what to keep, burning programs to DVDs, then doing the actual reformatting and adding everything back). I did, however, find a really good deal on a 200GB HDD + external enclosure for around $99. Maybe this'll happen sooner than I think.
Really the noise doesn't bother me...it's fairly quiet for a fan...it's just that I'm worried that the fan will eventually wear out and also I wonder why the hell it's on in the first place.
