Dear Group,
I wrote last week about heat issues with a new AMD 64 3700+ San Diego Core
based computer. I want to thank everyone for their comments, observations,
hints and opinions. I was finally able to dig deeper into the problem today
and thought I would share my results. My comments and

As I read somewhere from the net, it's not out yet, they look for some
add-on/plug-in malfucnction problems which worked on 1.04 but not in
1.05. Hope they can fix the security and the problem plugin problem in 1.06.

Lexmark inkjets blow. Someone has one at work - they have to be an

ClamWin does look interesting, though I'd be a bit leery of trusting my

The high end HP's are still good. Like everything, most computer
equipment is lower quality than it was 5 years ago.
I have a HP Photosmart printer which has been great. I'd probably still
buy one of their laser printers over a Samsung or something like that.

If you pay the same for a high-end HP as you did 2 years ago, you get a very
good printer. So, their $900-up printers are not bad to very nice.
The problem is, they are busy pitching $440 workgroup laser printers that
are basically junk.

You do not need a ram disk. There is a registry entry (can't remember what
it is at the moment) that will cause the kernel to stay in memory, which is
what I think that you want to do. In other examples I have seen, I believe
that the paging file is turned off also.
If I can find the
