If you're using Windows, open Task Manager (ctrl+shift+esc) while using the most memory intensive applications on your computer, probably image processing and/or video editing. Click on the Performance tab and see how much memory is being used. It will probably be nowhere near the 32GB you have...

Don't smash the big black bit with a hammer or drill holes in it. It looks very much like a lithium battery and while the risk of it catching fire and being very difficuly to extinguish is small, it's still a risk.

If your eyes can take the blue text on red backgroud, have a look at Brandoni's site, also Axesrus. For decent hardware look at Wilkinson.

Maybe he left his expensive lens behind and took his cheap one out in the rain?
