Re: [foxboro] "Industrial PC" recommendations

I have read that WindowsXP can run over SSD but you need to tweak several 
things in order to reduce disk usage like disabling pagination (so you will 
need big ram), restore points and several other things wich will make xp run 
somehow normal but it will lost recovery options, restore points, etc. The risk 
is that even with those tweaks still there a risk of BSOD if doing heavy tasks. 
I don´t think its a good idea to use that kind of disk with xp. Other SO's work 
better with ssd like linux and windows 7 (people say that).

Have a good day (or night)
