Then I install Process Explorer and replace Task Manager... then install everything else. Just my thing, though. Cheers, Karl A.

Only comment about compressed air. Never thought of using a shop vac with the intense blast some can produce. Be sort of gentle not to dislodge something. Air from a can through the attached tube can cool a chip to below freezing! I've heard that can be a test proceedure. But again gentle and not prolonged. Sometimes I'll use a soft brush with air (compressed or vac) to gently loosen dust. Thanks again and don't retire yet! Thanks, Effective and easy to do.

The tool at Crucial.com works great for that and gives all that info in an easy to understand format.
