Now I moved all my development to this PC (mostly VFP 9). Do you think that using Internet radio or tv on this PC will slow down the VFP 9 or could cause some adverse effects? TIA.

Up to you Dmitry.
I've used the crucial tool many times with no problems.
You can search for your make and model on the same site.
