    Basic, non-subscription software for Windows 11

    :) Chrome sucks on the laptop, compared to Firefox. Freezes, because it uses all the CPU. Firefox, not even close. FF is using 40% of the memory right now, and about 3-6% of the cpu.

    Anyway to speed Firefox up?

    Firefox runs with a LOT less CPU then Chrome. 16% with a show running and this window open. Chrome would be over 80% with the same running. WHY?

    Thank you all for the wonderful responses. David thank you for the suggestions on the initial build. One bit of humor: I told the guy who was going to work on the machine that I had 96GB of Ram. He kind of nodded, thinking I was having a senior moment, like I'm sure 99% of his customers. When I...

    Learning this trackball mouse really needs a second, vertical/normal mouse as a backup. It can get frustrating, but being able to use a normal mouse with my right hand solves a lot of the frustration, and there is PLENTY.

    Thanks all. I think I'll follow Sedrosken, and stay with Office 2006-7, or Wordperfect 6x Office. I own both, and don't have to do any of their stuff. If I want to get fancy, I'll give Googles office stuff a try, too. Much difference between Office 2006 and 2021? How do you get 2021? I see...

    Doesn't Intel have some new Raid 0 software? How does it work?

    DD: 96 gigs of ram enough? Possible to run a Raid 0 with two SSDs? Either worth considering? Any speed gain a human would notice? g

    Thanks. Trackball mouse is in, and hooked up. Feels kind of cheap compared to the old Kensington trackball I had, but, it's not 150.00 either. The whole thumb thing is going to be a new kind of coordination for me to learn. Which is great. Need challenges at my age. Thanks again. Turned the...
