Which all confirms (now from actual use on your part) what I tell all my clients on a regular basis. Don't get caught up in purchasing stuff because it is 17 nanoseconds faster than what you have. Stop hunting wider internal bandwidths, massive RAM memory amounts and brand new blistering speed...

Your assumption about the drive taking less punishment by staying on is correct. If you have the drive in the power saving mode, your energy use is at the optimum also. So the energy bill should not be increased by any noticeable amount. At any one time I have at least seven computers...

Get yourself a copy of Norton Utilities and run the System Doctor. Set up the Smart Disk and that will check the status/health of your hard drive. It will also provide several additional system checks at the same time. You should also run WinDoctor and allow it to make the corrections that it...

Giggle, giggle. Every now and again I have shared a day's worth of winners with a few friends and associates. Many have asked me to put together a subscription service. Maybe somewhere in the future I might do this. But for now, I'm having too much fun being alone at the collection window...

No digs intended. As you stated, you were running out of space. Since you didn't give much info on the setup, I assumed that it was a small drive. In a sense, it was in that you didn't allow enough for your storage. I apologize for any stress and I'll just quietly sit on the sidelines here. :)

Is it a 3 or 4 gig hard drive? :)

I am amazed that we have not identified the common threads amongst the main bunch of government detractors. The French, German, and Russian governments have all had the distinction of being on the losing side of a major battle of some sort with the US. Be it actual, economic, or otherwise, they...

Too funny, but possibly true! I am amazed that we have not identified the common threads amongst the main bunch of detractors. The French, German, and Russian governments have all had the distinction of being on the losing side of a major battle of some sort with the US. Be it actual...

Ok, time to bite the bullet. The Band-Aid cure is not going to make you happy or competent in anything other than how to clean out the trash TOTALLY! To clean out the garbage, go to Start, Settings, Control Panel, Internet Options. Then clean out both the cookies and the temp files there...

Not only do I use it, I have success with it. I have trained others to use it also. As a tech/trainer I had many clients with tons of different software products that they needed help with. So I took the opportunity to add another profit center to my skill set. I took the opportunity to...

If you are serious, wait for version 7 which should (they say) be out shortly. Same holds true for WizeFinder. It's new additions might be of interest. :)

You won't hear it from me! And I'm a great MJ fan. :)

The scenario that you've built can be likened to the Bulls squad that just couldn't seem to get past Detroit. The pieces were not quite right to go the distance. IMHO, Washington was not the place he should have tried that experiment. But then again, his mission was not to win a...

And it was MJ's learning to extend his abilities through this cast that makes him, "THE BEST" at it to date. It (the game) became so easy for him that he thought he could duplicate the concept in Washington. That's where he too seemed to slip. The reason that it worked in Chicago was that...

Good choice. I don't think that the softwares you have addressed will really show any major pickups in abilities/speeds for your uses though. But it will be a nice machine I'm sure. Good luck and happy trading! :)

Excellent deciphering of the issue here. Really makes a tech smile when the basic issue can be addressed like this. :) [b] Another solution would be to go to a light/medium weight server machine and turn it into a workstation. Base the setup on SCSI drives with hot swap capabilities...

OK, but stripping in this instance is not the answer. According to the patient, there is only one un-networked computer. That is not a good "Tech" advised method to take care of the issue of "reliability." That is too broad a term to plan a solution like stripping for. Saving data can be...

Make sure that the use is appropriate. What is the purpose of your Raid setup? And please tell me that you are doing this with real networking (hopefully Novell) software. You might be setting yourself up for more troubles than you understand right now. Raid, mirrored, stripped drives...

I wouldn't hold my breath waiting for the time when you won't find PIII's. That availability will continue for many years to come. Most businesses are understanding that they don't need to upgrade just because the next greatest thing is now available. Especially if what they have is getting...

I use my laptops like that all the time. I am writing this response from the TV/Game room now. I have a wireless network and it is not unusual for me to be here or the kitchen working with/on them. I also have several associates who routinely pop over and we have had some great gaming...
