[dba-Tech] Free Performance Booster?

Hi Mark

Yes, though the free Lite thing only. Didn't make much of a difference
but neither did my machine have a speed issue.

Hello Gustav,

Did you use the XP Lite?

I was working on a PC last week that was standalone, no CD ROM and no
network card even, it was fast and very comfortable to use.

It made me think about my own PC with '00's of services running and I
realised that more CPU power may not be the way to go.

Of course, perhaps we do not need XP Lite, we could just turn off some
of the services, but then you wonder, "maybe I need that"

Thanks for the tips,

Mark
