Cool! On your Partition Magic purchase. I have been running it on my 1.1
ghz machine..with 1.25 GB ram and never noticed it running... (as far as a
slowdown.) It works fine for me. I suspect it should do the same on the
new machine. This machine will probably become the spare computer for
company... grandkids.... :)
Thanks for the info on the hyperthreading. It helps.
They wanted $90 for two sticks of 256 to make 512. (It comes with 512).
That would have been a total of a GB+. The machine can hold 3 gig according
to the sales material. The book inside says 2 gb. (the salesman said 4gb)
But, I did check..the book is older.
The problem arises when and if I ever wanted to have more memory. With only
4 slots..all four would be taken by 256 ram and I would have to take out two
sticks..and buy two for $190.00. What that really translates to is I would
have wasted the $90.00 I spend now...as I those sticks would no longer be
useful. So, I said no.. I want the two 512 sticks.
When I got to the checkout..I saw the 512 'kit' on the receipt..and thought
it was what I wanted. Well, guess what..it was the two 256 sticks that
total 512. So, I am off today to return them..and get the 1 GB. I would
rather pay $190.00 now..then end up having to pay a total of $270.00 and
have two 256 sticks sitting around doing nothing. Lord knows..I think I
still have some PC 133 and PC 100 memory sitting around in the closet. I do
not need more stuff hanging around and do not need to waste more money!
Hope the cats are fed.
I am a night owl..which is why I was up so late....lol! And with a new
puter..time just flew by. I went to sleep at 4 am and was wide awake at 9
am. Going to ruin my reputation getting up that early! lol!
Have a great day... make it a Great day!
Hugs,
Rose

Rose! It's 3 or 4 am in your neighborhood, what are you doing awake at this
hour?
If your m/o and processor supports hyperthreading and you have HT invoked,
then it takes TWO mem sticks to get the advantage.
I looked into this whole issue a couple of months ago when I had to replace
my laptop.
I ended up with a used Sager 8887 that doesn't support HT, but that's ok...
this machine is a sweetheart and still under warranty. Beautiful 16" uxga
screen with no dead pixels.
By the way, I just won an auction for Partition Magic for my external,
thanks
for the tip on DataKeeper.
See ya, gotta go feed the cats
