Hello James - 

JB>>  Ah... Making it run half as well as the competition? 

CA>> The "run half as well" is a bit vague. Give me three
CA>> specific tasks that an OS you own/use can do at twice what
CA>> a recent version of Windows (98SE forward) can do using
CA>> the same or comparable hardware. 

JB> Run dependabley, continuously, and without a need for a
JB> machine of the month. 

My W2K machine would stay turned on 24/7 for months at a time
and usually was only rebooted because of some change I made
that required a reboot. :-) 

CA>> I am told ISPs in Japan offer much much higher bandwidth
CA>> than we can buy here. SATA III has existed for some time
CA>> now but I see no major PC retailers offering them
CA>> installed in their machines. My FSB here is over 2000+
while new machines are selling with 800 or less? 

JB>  To say you are running a 2GHz FSB? 

Yes I am but it's an AMD on-die memory controller replacing the
FSB to be honest. HP advertises it as 2000+FSB. Some sources
quote 2400+ for this AMD machine. 

JB> How about this. I now have, only 100Kbps NICs connecting
JB> soley through a X-over cable. I found the W'98-W'95 10Kbps
JB> network to be much more responcive, where this W2K duo
JB> seems to take forever before I can even log onto the other
JB> machine. 

Not sure what is slowing you down at login but I found that my
W31 was more responsive while online if I kept the MTU a bit
smaller than recommended. 

JB> Not knowing enough about networking on the previous setup,
JB> had me throw *many* redundant protocols at the problem.
JB> Now, using NetBEUI, I can not find an easy way to toggle
JB> the Browser master flag on this setup, but MS continues to
JB> make there OSes "User freindly." The only friendly thing I
JB> find, is that they continue to burry the important stuff,
JB> to protect *us*. <?> I don't get it. 

Yes, I too feel much is "burried" under layers of menus that
aren't all that memorable (at least to me). 

JB> I am NOT going to contrubute to an OS war, as I have no
JB> doubt you could run circles around me, but when I asked the
JB> B-I-L how to assign the swap to another drive, he came up
JB> with a blank on 2K, and he is an IT tech, who supervises N.
JB> America. Am I missing something? With *each* new version I
JB> see, I have to hunt and peck for the location of
JB> *everything* system related, that I need. 

Start, Settings, Control Panel, System, Advanced, Performance
Options, Change. 

At the top of that screen you will see your available options
for location of the pagefile and below that the size for
minimum and maximum. 

JB> Custer had it coming 

Yes, AAMOF he did have it coming.
