Well...make sure you regularly clear out your temp folder and get rid of as
much startup junk as you can. But remember...you'll be getting a lot more
ram. I have 512 and rarely ever have to worry about resources unless I've
been working with video files which suck up my resources and drain my video
drivers. So life should be easier.

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
