It is sad and somewhat annoying when the laptop starts slowing down. Is it just perception? Am I accustomed now to remote desktop into faster machines and working in snappier systems? Is it an accumulation of crap? Do I need a reinstall? Maybe a move from Vista to Windows 7, with a clean install along the way? An SSD? All I know is that things don't load fast any more. Even doing compiles on VS 2008 is a "sit and wait" experience. I think I really need a new quad core Intel (bad John, BAD John!) iXXX core running Windows 7 X64 and 16 gigs of ram, all on a 512 G SSD running the latest Sandforce (who makes up these names?) controller. It is Christmas after all! Now to convince the wife! -- John W. Colby www.ColbyConsulting.com
