Less is more Pro (for Windows it seems)

Smilin, i barelly have use for 1G, give or take the odd day. This same moment im peaking at 350MB usage, and thats with a nice couple of things running. Why would i go out and buy 4G RAM and then have it sit unsused most of the time??? Take a look at www.grid.org. All that CPU that goes into...

Less is more Pro (for Windows it seems)

So i did...... in a previous post..... But stay w/ me on this one. IF i say, am working on a BIG image, say a fair few hundred MB, the image itself, along other data is on the SATA drive. The pagefile is on the ATA drive. Even if once in a while Win fetches a few sys files, it wont bother the...

And pray tell, what makes you think its in the same physical HD? And even if it wasnt, it would still have one advantage at least. The fact that you got to choose WHERE, in the drive that partition is located.

I wonder how if any of you both actually READ what i wrote... FYI I have 1G RAM, 1x2 GB pagefile on a Seagate ATA100 7200, on a 4G partition cluster size 8192 i use for pagefile and temp files. IF i ever go over 3GB mem needed, THEN something is DEAD WRONG. None of my usual stuff will EVER go...

Wrong thread Smilin ,) But by all means, go to the other one and enlighten us on why whe should want XP and not 2k. p.s. Tried your sig :) My AV catches it, but only on manual scan... Why should an AV scan .txt files???

TG, i dont think that the amount on ppl using AOL and other braindead stuff is a problem. Now, ppl sticking to those same braindead stuff after 3 months or so, thats a problem ,) n0cmonkey: Man, if you really have to ask why on both claims, its not worth the bother for me to even try to...

MrChad: If you go through X-Setups reg tweaks, 95% are worthless junk. Doent mean some arent there for good reasons. Would you do gfx/video works on a cluster 512 partition when mostly you have a couple dozens files in the several hundred MB range? Nope, neither would i. That's performance...

Tough the thread on w2k vs wxp was never intended to focus on that, it raised some funny points. Apparently, the tech/geek/power users seem to go for "less is more" aproach over "os features/apps". More savy ppl seem to want more control over what they get installed as default, apps and...

W2K or WXP? Seriously...

Wrong :) Tough you're right about me not caring for those things you mentioned (because i cant have them on my current setup), it was the kind of stuff i wanted to know that might put WXP apart from W2K. On the "Anti-Stack-Smash" feature, i fell a bit split. In a server, i'd rather hit a 2%...

W2K or WXP? Seriously...

Just thought of something... PCI-XPress... Anyone knows if GOOD support will be XP only, or is W2K included? ATM it makes little diference 4 me, but that could move some ppl on this W2K/WXP decision.

W2K or WXP? Seriously...

No intention of starting a holy war or hate thread, just looking for some honest opinions. After having tried WXP for a few months, and esp. after trying out SP2, i find myself thinking about going back to the W2K path. For the record, SP2 does little for me but annoy me even more. My...
