So the 80gb would be for storage right? OK, no prob but a question
still...
If Office were installed on the 10gb boot drive, and a HUGE Access file
is on the 80gb storage drive, would the temp file reside?
If I'm working on a large file, I have to close everything else which
kinda defeats the whole mult-tasking philosophy. I often have to log in
and out of the two web-based apps I work in 15-20 times a day because of
this resource problem. It's time-consuming and aggravating. I'm
currently having 'out of resources...adjusting page file size' issues.
Is this because I don't' have enough RAM or physical space (currently
under 2gb)?=20

Personally, I'd suggest you put all your programs on the boot drive and
all your file dirs on the secondary drive. Boot drives usually go belly
up before data drives. So if you trash your HD...you'll just lose all
your apps, which can be reinstalled. And your file drive should be just
fine when you replace your C drive. Been there, done that...saved tons
of work from having to restore that way.

Hi All.
=20
I'm getting an upgrade to my business system here at school to include
512 RAM and an 80 gb HD. Yippee!
=20
I will also have a 10 gb HD on the same system.
=20
I plan to reformat and reload all my software from scratch...you know,
fresh start and all.
=20
My question is how should I set this system up to get the best
performance from Office? I work mostly with LARGE files...databases in
Access, workbooks in Excel, graphics and animations in PowerPoint, etc.
=20
The OS is WinXP (Pro) on Novell NT with Office XP, including MSPublisher
and Outlook Exchange.
=20
Should the 10gb drive be the boot drive with the apps on the 80gb drive?
Just use the 80 for storage of the large files?
=20
All advice appreciated. /g
