it's mostly the drivers/bios combo that will make it stable/unstable on 1
or the other puter. I have an Award bios, if i switch on Fast Command win98
will run smoothly, and XP will crash within minutes.

Best is to first set bios to lowest performance settings and then work
upwards.

The more complex the OS the bigger change it will need more 'standard'
hardware settings, especially one written by MS as they use the age old
tradition of the 'ostrich' algorythm in their os's

its happening already the disaster, it's called global warming and most
likely will cause an iceage around 2050 when Greenland melts, and dumps so
much cold water in to the ocean that the gulfstream will be disrupted thus
interrupted the heat exchange in the ocean serverly changing the world
climate. Its not something we can stop, the progress is irriversible.

I think in the years leading up to that the wortld will suffer various
forms of violent weather dispruptions of the like we are now only beginning
to see

9/11 is what is diffent now Count. We have seen what muslim
fundamentalists are capable of.

I do sincerely hope that after iraq then next country to be bombed is
north korea....

So we at least can try to prevent those fanatics acquiring weapons of
mass destruction.

I know we all have to die one day, but for me to die because some crazed
fanatic dumps antrax spores in my neighbourhood, or flavours milk tanks
with ricin?

no thanks

Lol no, in their hearts they are dancing already, they just dont want to
get bombed. As i was in Israel in the north, 16 km from the lebanese
border during the 1976 libanon crises, i can tell being bombed is really
scary...

I still remember vividly after hearing a whistling sound and a bang
seeing a human leg dangling from a tree.

Who wants to be bombed?

Which normal person wants to bomb someone?

But if it a question between the lesser of 2 evils pleas ebomb the shit
out of sadam before he gives antrax to terrosts groups. Or do you
believe his big blue eyes he doesnt have contact with them?

I am dutch, i lived in the middle east in the the 70's, i've been bombed
and hid in bombshelters. If i can choose between a corrupt and cynical
'leader' of Europe like France or Germany, or an airhead like Bush i'll
choose Bush anyday. Do we all forget where France was during the second
world war? Do we remember where the US was in those years?

I am frankly much more scared of a world where France is the leader then
where a cowboy is the leader.

did anyone ever read about the corruption of Chirac? How he only escapes
prosecution because he is the president? Do we recognise the vast
financial interests France has in Iraq? How Chirac until recently
greeted Saddam as ' a personal friend?'

Sure US cant wash its hands in innocence, their using Saddam as a pawn
against Iran we all remember. But if i have to choose between the gain
of removing Saddam and scaring the shit out of the other extremist
countries or leting France keep us on the road of complacency to further
their interest of 7 billion dollar development contracts i'll choose the
cowboy anyday.

For sure the cowboy needs a braintransplant, but i'd rather see the
middle east kick started into the present, instead of trying to placate
the inplacable.

Me neither, since running XP i only need to reboot about once a week, as
opposed to several times a day under any other version of Winblows, and
only had to reinstall it once (virus attack)in the 1 year i am running it
now as opposed to once every few months due.

Seems like a nonargument.

nowadays 1 gb of storage costs about $1, hardly worth the effort to
minimize the xp folder from it's normal +/- 900 mb to 500 mb, or any
other OS folder for that matter.

[View Quote] thats just a question of disabling the services in XP, first thing to do
after installation is to switch off 3/4 of the services auto started.
Doesn't do jacksh*t for the installation size but is a hell of a lot
easier and quicker then weeding out modules from the registry

mmm, is that still true for NTFS? Takes a lot longer to update a large
partition then a small one.
If you intelligently divide your data over the tasks you do, it should
improve speed if you use small partitions

Also if 1 large partition goes haywire you loose a lot of data

mmm, i have a puter with a WD800 (rated as a top performer in most tests)
and an Seagate Barracuda 4, 40 gb (also no slough) 512 mb, Athlon XP
2000, and a puter with a single WD 15 gb drive (about 6 years old not
exactly the fastest) 128 mb Duron 1200.

The bigger is highly optimized, the other not at all.

the same OS (sorry Bill, i am sure when your dream of total control comes
true the OS will otomatically withdraw the daily rent from my account:)

Shutting down the bigger takes about a minute, the smaller about 10
seconds. Overall the smaller is faster in almost everything concerning
disk operations (opening folders etc). Only when it comes to running apps
the bigger shows its speed. Compiling the same huge project takes 5 mins
on the fast one, it takes about 3 times longer on the other.

I sure notice the difference

if you disable a service a general issue program can't start it. Only if
you put it to manual it can selfstart. I have most bloat/unsafe services
disabled and i have yet to see a program enabling them. And if one does,
i will send a very angry mail to the writer and uninstall the program.

As my browser cache easily reaches more then then my total installed
memory, not to speak of my temps i think i'll pass on the ramdisk :)

I read all my newspapers online, so each morning my browser cache needs
then to be filled again. Emptying it serves no real purpose other then
to slow my browsing down. Again this is a question of storage cost
versus userfriendlyness.

At $1 a GB, i rather have a huge cache then suffer pages reloading
everytime completely.

the problem here is Drac, you are reasoning as a rational, civilised

They are blind fantatics going to any length. did you follow the
attrocities muslim fundo's inflicted on their own country men (fellow
muslims)

Imganine those lunatics with Mass destruction weapons. I am totally sure
Saddam will provide them with anything they want, as long as they use it
against 'the west' whatever that maybe in his crazed view.

By premptive strikes against such a 'roque state' US indeed keeps the
peace. They have my full blessing to erradicate any fanatics they want,
and good luck to the iraqi oilfields to them as a reward
