I have Intel Core 2 Dual Ultimate on a laptop and run Vista Ultimate (point being that it's couple years old). And it's pretty fast all things considered. I sort of hate the additional admin necessities, but they are good for security so it might be one of the more secure Microsoft appz. Vista being based in Windows NT or 2000, which is why compatibility for so much software is absent. That of course and the 86 bit software need. Of course we need to know what software you're crunching as sound and graphix appz can stall out any HD. There's this free synthesizer app called Orangator which makes sine waves of any shape and it can stall any hardrive when you get rolling. But it's really apocalyptic what sounds when Gabriel gets on the PC and starts blowing some dope notes.
I always have stuff downloading. To me an internet conection means ones should use it up even if just passively lending to P2P and a free right to the road. ----- Original Message ----- From: "Richard M" <compost...@yahoo.co.uk> To: <FairfieldLife@yahoogroups.com> Sent: Friday, January 30, 2009 10:05 AM Subject: [FairfieldLife] Re: Computer Upgrade?
