    Best bang for your buck

    I noticed the FX 5700 Ultra only uses 128MB ram. Does the capacity of the memory make much of a difference? (for example a FX5600 with 256MB?)

    Is it possible to delay a startup program until network is up?

    I am trying to have a program run at startup from the Starup folder. The problem is that the file is on a server on the LAN, and windows is attempting to launch the program right at startup, before the network has initialized. Because of this it gives an error that the file cannot be accessed...
