David installed a Gforce super graphics card, a 500GB SSD card, some extra memory, and boy, what a difference it all made. My system now powers up in just a few seconds (literally) compared to the old system that took 5 to 6 minutes. what a relief, and thank you David. And thanks for the upgraded (2nd hand) Samsung monitor, the extra size and quality are terrific.
