[Land-speed] NON LSR VERY NON LSR -- Windows 7

[neil at dbelltech.com]

Wes;

When I bought this computer I did not specify much memory-- only 512K RAM.
Over time this system has gotten slower and slower-- to the point of
exasperation. After cleaning out a host of temporary files and defragging my
hard drive it was only slightly better. On a whim I ordered 2G of RAM and
when I replaced the 512K with 2G it was back up to speed. What a difference!

Wow-- 1T RAM-- that's really something!

Regards, Neil   Tucson, AZ

I love my iMac!

The only problem I have with my iMac is of my own doing.  I didn't buy  
all
the operating memory I should have because I don't have the resources
to pay another $600 to get me what I now would like to have.

I should have listened to my son in law who built his own PC computer
with a terrabyte of memory.  That's what you learn with a PhD in  
Information
Systems.

He hasn't touched Windows 7 as yet but is hoping it will be the  
operating
system on his new computer at the university where he teaches when he
goes back to classes this fall.  He is in a situation where he can play
around with a new operating system and has the technical knowledge
to solve problems he may find.
