A fairly common performance boost these days for things like notebooks and netbooks is replacing the hard drive with a nand flash based solid state drive. Windows boots an order of magnitude faster, apps load faster, performance is generally much better, and like your suggestion, there's no need to defrag. n (Defragging is meaningless on a flash device in any case.) You *can* remove the SSD from the machine and plug it into another, but you'll have to reauthenticate Windows if you do. But if you do go to an SSD drive instead of an IDE HD, you aren't all that likely to move there SSD to another machine. You did it in the first place to make the current machine faster and better performing so you didn't need another machine. > DS ______ Dennis ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ "Accelerate Dev Cycles with Automated Cross-Browser Testing - For FREE Instantly run your Selenium tests across 300+ browser/OS combos.
