  2. Just one of your Fans,
    Don’t be so hard on yourselves, you are one of the info sights on the web, if not the best. I learn so much from your articles, maybe I am just a novice, but keep up the good work. Sometimes I save some of your articles to re read again, it helps understand it. You can’t get too basic for me, but sometimes it’s still is over my head.
    Thanks, Gordan

  5. Most “new” computers uses low RPM disks with a small cache. Use at least a 10,000 rpm drive and 16mb cache.

    Turn off all un-needed services, auto updates, etc.

  7. The majority of slowdowns I deal with are slow startup.  Every morning I boot my laptop it takes about 7 to 10 minutes for it to complete.  I know there are certain programs which my company requires to be installed that cause some of the slow startups, but I can reimage a drive with the base department load and the startup is only about 3 minutes from power on to ready to rock-n-roll.  I run CCleaner, and other maintenance on my system weekly, along with simple reviews of the system’s overall performance.  I am currently running Windows XP Pro. v2002 w/ SP2 on a Lenovo T61.  T7300 CPU @ 2.0GHz and 2gb of ram.  I have 320 gig SATA hard drive with better than 50% free space.  After the laptop is booted it runs great, it’s just that the startup is getting slower and slower.  I’ve also gone into the registry to see what is starting, but the reimaged systems have close to the same stuff… Any thoughts?

  11. I am always looking for good tech blogs with NEW info. It seems like most of the tech blogs provide “copy and paste” info, in other words, the took it from somewhere else and pasted it to their blogs.

    This is very refreshing to see new and original stuff.

    I’ll be back!
