Defrag and Chkdsk helped, this tweak really speeded them up! http://www.petri.co.il/increase_hard_disk_speed_in_windows_xp_2003.htm |

Get Windows 7, it defrags on it's own on a schedule so you don't have to worry about doing it

Until April 8th 2014. It's not really needed anyway. all you need is a good antivirus program and a good firewall program. Those two things cover 95% of Microsoft's "support"

It is but that shit doesn't recognize more than 3 gigs of ram and XP 64 was garbage. But Vista was a nightmare to deal with. |

I have the following systems: Win-7 Win Xp Win 2000 Win ME Win 98 SE Knoppix-6 E-Comm station (OS/2) I multiboot. It depends on how I feel when I sit down in front of the screen. WIN-7 works with no lag, but XP was the only one that seemed to access a bit slow. I wondering what benefit will it be to use Win-8 Hell, I forgot I still have win 3.11 running under a virtual screen. Years ago OS/2-Warp-4 was my favorite OS. |

The average user doesn't need more than 3GB of Ram. Which is why some people are still using it. if you're just doing basic computer tasks, 3GB works. |
