Once again -- FAST is relative. You didn't mention how many different computers you use in a day. What seems fast to you might be painfully slow to others and especially to me because I've worked with clients who might have 40,000 or more computers in the company with varying hardware configuration. Furthermore you forgot to mention what applications you are talking about, how many simultaneously and how memory intensive. All of these things can affect how your computer runs. I know for an absolute fact based on the sheer number of client's computers I've troubleshot that an absolute minimum of 1 GB for WinXP and 2 GB for Vista (aka Windows 7) solves a myriad of problems, the least of which is file corruption. Let me ask you a question. How many Level 7 or level 9 technicians from Microsoft have you had to call over the last 20 years? I doubt even one. Are you a technician in the field or even a designer? Or are you as I suspect an end user judging from his experience of less than 10 or 20 computers personally? -- Later, Darrell |
