From: "Nick Rees" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>
I wondered if that might cause confusion! Okay, the drive is a Sony CRXP-90MU USB2.0 DVD/CDRW with a Memory Stick slot. Basically two drives in one (a big reason for me getting it as it saves me from using my Clie as the MS drive all the time). Look it up if you like, might make things a bit clearer. It's a silver drive, squarish, slightly larger than a regular CD.
Thanks for the clarification. Looks like a nice unit. Wish I could afford one. I guess the memory stick is for transferring data from various systems to the drive to write CD-R disks. Too bad it doesn't write DVD-R and DVD+R disks! More money though...
You'd have a fit at my setup :
233MMX 64MB RAM 40GB Hitachi/IBM Travelstar - 8GB 'C' 10GB 'D' 4GB 'E' 10GB 'F' ~5.3GB 'G' (rest of disk) XP Pro (with lots and lots of cutdowns found on the web - actually runs pretty well)
If yo have them, I'd love to see a list of those links to the XP Pro 'cutdowns' as you put it. I've probably run all the same tweaks to get the OS working a bit more snappy (snappily?). But I still run into things in XP that can be really slow... like the search utility that takes ages to boot, and ages to scan for files. I'm actually seriously considering going to Win2000, but the support WinXP has for most everything out there is a nice feature I might miss.
Matt
