Storage is cool
How about putting a second hard disk in the machines and put the temp dir and pagefile on that? It should speed things up a bit... I don't know if it's enough to be usable though.
I can't stand the guy on a personal level, but there's a social obligation involved so out of all my customers, he's the one guy I couldn't ditch even if I wanted to.
And yes, he really is that tight.
He's not putting money in these machines, either, 10 minute startup time be damned. Installing a PATA SSD has a real labor cost. RAM I'd probably do essentially free if I had some RIMMs, but I don't, and they aren't exactly cheap ($100 for 2x128MB for new modules; RIMMs have to be installed in pairs).
I'll try let the users try K-Meleon (haven't used THAT in years) and Midori, to see if they do any better with those.
Someone take the shotgun away from Greg before he blows his leg off.
Thanks, but, I don't have a shotgun. 375 H&H perhaps, but no shotgun.;-)
That said, Sam's in a bad spot, and I understand what that's like...
How about giving the users this link:
http://www.tweakxp.com/performance_tweaks.aspx
and having them do the work??
IIRC this client is somehow family to the place he is employed. Not a fun situation.
You haven't met him, he's a hottie
(j/k, Greg)
Hmmm. Girl with giant tits in Costco tonight thought the same, but, since I'm SOOO out of practice, I failed to take the looks to advantage;-(
dating sucks....
For perspective, I asked Diane Hsu to marry me. She said no, but, not before she was the best, ever....
Try Playboy bunny, March 88 if you don't know who Diane Lee Hsu is...
So, since jealousy is well established, eat your hearts out...
You're pretty close to Silicon Valley right?
