Quick link to the basics........

SG Link

That has some other links you should read. Take it one step at a time.

BTW ever think about putting that horsepower to work with G@H?

They told (us) to open up the Embassy, or "we'll blow you away." And then they looked up and saw the Marines on the roof with these really big guns, and they said in Somali, "Igaralli ahow," which means "Excuse me, I didn't mean it, my mistake".

I'll try this again. Damn server busy message blew off my post.

In W2K, there was a definite increase. XP is pretty fast out the gate but you can still see an improvement. In order to get most out of it you need to move your IE temp folders to the ram drive. Watch your d/ling tho anything bigger than the ramdrive needs to be saved someplace else.

Give it a try to the point of creating and adding to your start up group you can always blow it out if you don't like it. Read all the threads tho and take it a step at a time.
