| Mephisto | My new computer just recently shipped in, and now it's all set up. However, I've been having a problem with it, and I'm not sure if this is natural, or if there is something I should be doing which I am not doing. When I go to my desktop, and start running applications, it takes significantly more time to load the application then it did on my previous computer. My new computer: 3.2GHz w/ HT P4 1GB duel-channel 400MHz DDR Windows XP Professional Previous computer: 1.3GHz Duron 384MB 133MHz SD Windows Server 2003, Enterprise If anyone knows what's up, please tell me! ;) | March 3, 2004, 3:19 PM |
| Grok | It's that dueling memory. | March 3, 2004, 3:34 PM |
| iago | I'd recommend formatting and installing Windows XP on it. If it came with XP installed, they probably also installed all sorts of other crap along with it. When I eventually formatted my desktop (500mhz) with windows 98 (years ago), I noticed a HUGE improvement over the factory installation of Windows 98. | March 3, 2004, 4:00 PM |
| Adron | Make sure you have a decent cluster size on it. Sometimes computers ship with 512 byte clusters. | March 3, 2004, 4:53 PM |
