    which of these can i delete under processes>task manager

    The blackviper guides are very good ... have used them for a few years and have never had any problems from doing what they recommend. You even have different versions of tweaks depending what you want to do.

    Did I accidentally overclock my system?

    I was under the impression that with Easytune, any overclocking you do is only temporary until you reboot the PC. Perhaps I am wrong but I'll check.

    Couple of very quick & simple questions re DSL

    Gerbil is right ... some ISPs require you to dial in the way you would with a 56K modem. I am with Bell Canada DSL and I must dial in when I want to access the Internet. It only takes a few seconds but it is a few seconds more than when I had cable and only had to open my browser to connect.

    How would i go about burning a file, which is too big for a CD, onto a CD?

    There is a utility I have used for years called G-Split that splits the file into as many parts as you want. Also, I think WinRAR compresses more effectively than WinZip and will give you a smaller file.
