Weather Conditions: Brrr...
Certainly a worthy day for an extra-hot Starbucks drink.
As mentioned in today's title, I have made the decision to upgrade my office computer (Precision Workstation 380) to Windows Vista Business. I had reservations about moving to it, especially with only 512MB memory. Obviously I took the plunge anyway. Result? 2.9. Yes, the bottleneck being memory. Here is the thing, to upgrade memory on a Precision Workstation, would require purchasing ECC (error correction) memory, which is a LOT more money.
I did however, made the move to run ReadyBoost (TM) with a 2GB memory key that I have here. Did it help? I can't really tell. I am going to assume it did. On top of all this, I also installed Office Professional Plus 2007. Yup, speed demon no more...
Yes, this is a geektastic post, but c'mon, I have been geeked out for the whole week. The last thing I will say is this: Like all Microsoft programs, RAM is good. Get lots! You'll thank me later.
What's in store this weekend? I have to come in for a network upgrade. Hope it won't take too long.
