Thanks guys for the great advice!!!
1st. Can I install Sambar 5.3 right over 5.1 and leave my docs/ picture
files where they are? or should I uninstall first?
2nd. How do I set a portion of ram to run Sambar? (I have 384meg ddr total
on my desktop) My NIC is built into the MOBO ecs k7s5a
3rd I will look into htacess and will try to set it like you said Pete and
also try the config.ini
Compress Content = true
Last I really haven't heard complaints about slow pictures loads from
Vsitors but I think it could be better
thanks again
Jack
