OK, now my eyes are completely crossed trying to figure this memory situation out. I have not seen, from what I have read (and I haven't read it all) in this thread, anybody mentioning Crucial RAM. I am trying to put together a system based on the P4P800. I am a loser...I will not be...

Alright, I can accept that. :) It boils down to differences of opinion which I stated you will find if you do a search on this subject. Some feel it is worthwhile, others not. Whatever the actual performance benefits may be, there is certainly no harm in doing so. Also, to go full circle right...

Alright, I will openly apologize for my choice of words, in an effort to discount myself as a 'troll' (which I am not, just a new member). I did originally make the statement that the pagefile and VM were the same thing. It is wrong and not what I meant. What I meant to say was that they are...

Wow Nothinman, you don't stop do you?? Yes, I understand it quite well thank-you. You STILL have not explained where these EXTRA seeks come in? The only difference is that the seeks will be in different locations. But in less in your little world EVERYTHING is located at cylinder 35, the...

Also, a quote from Microsoft Knowledge Base Article 307886: Also, a quote from Microsoft Knowledge Base Article 314482: A further quote from Article 314482: Yet another quote from 314482: That reading from the Microsoft Knowledge Base definitely proves your claims are baseless. Unless of...

Nothinman...what the hell is your problem?? You STILL have not explained the extra seeking that occurs if the pagefile on a seperate drive as opposed to the Windows drive. Please explain why there are extra seeks. I am dying to know. Yes, I know how a hard drive works. The link I provided...

I think this is the most ludicrous thing I have ever heard. So we should never use partitions because all the data is seperated? Until you find me a credible source explaining the 'extra seeking' that goes on when the pagefile is on a different partition, my original recommendation stands. There...

And where did you get that idea? First of all, I stated clearly that he should NOT place the pagefile on the slow drive. But it SHOULD be placed on a seperate partition. Where did you get the idea that putting it on a different partition requires extra seeking? Some more research needs to be...

Normally you want to delete IE Temporary Files from within IE itself. Click the Tools menu and choose Internet Options. The General tab will have a button for deleting these files.

If he wishes to move the 'My Documents' folder for each user, simply right click the folder, choose Properties and he can easily move the folder to a different drive.

The last thing you want to do is put the pagefile on a slower drive. No matter how much physical memory you actually have, Windows XP will always use the pagefile. You want to keep the pagefile on the fastest drive you have. Putting it on a slower drive will degrade performace. Here are some...

Windows XP from Dell will only work on the machine it shipped with. It is tied into the BIOS of that machine. The EULA is changed so that it is clear you are obligated to use XP on that machine (COMPUTER in the EULA) only.

It is probably because your .PST file is so big. The .PST file is where Outlook stores everything - email messages, tasks, calendar appointments etc. First, do a clear out. Delete all messages from your Inbox and any other boxes that you don't need any more. Go to the Sent Items folder and...

It pretty much depends on what video card you are speaking of. Is that the Radeon 7500? Or one of the newer Radeon 9000's? Obviously the video card is of key importance. The 7500 will probably not work very well with today's cutting-edge games. The current top-flight mobile video card is the...
