I even turn of the eye candy stuff in XP. Then it is really fast. Pretty is CPU expensive. Dennis McGrath

I am waiting until then... In my experience( I have two machines running Vista Business), Vista is slower than XP unless you get the most beefy hardware(fast hard drive, memory, video card, dual core processor) or you turn off the eye candy stuff(aero).

Would anyone be kind enough to offer a recommendation or two on what to consider? Dual core? Quad core? Windows XP or Vista? Good/bad brands? Best value, etc.? Best database to use? No wait, I already have that!! I'm probably staying with a desktop unit for now. Maybe a laptop by year end. Off list is fine unless others might be interested in the topic, too. Thanks for any suggestions. Mike Ramsour AK Steel Coshocton Works Quality Department Phone/VMS: 740-829-4340
