| 219065 | 2004-03-15 12:28:00 | You downloaded but did you pay for it because as I said in a previous post the freebie was very limited and I'm sorry but your stats for the ghost image does not hold water | mikebartnz (21) | ||
| 219066 | 2004-03-16 08:36:00 | I had a look at the Ghost file sizes, the later one had less compression, so have done a new test. ( I paid $39 US) I have just installed XP-Professional on a Celeron 333mhtz with only 128mgb Ram, 32 of which is for the screen. I did not install SP1 as it is not required on this computer. I removed all the games, accessibility files, all server files, Internet Explorer, all wall paper, etc etc. Installed Opera to replace IE6. The result is that the windows folder is now 451mgb & the total C: drive is 781mgb, this includes Norton AV 2003 and Zone Alarm. Seems to be completely stable, considering the low memory & old drives is reasonably fast. Ghost file on high compression is 352mgb. On my other box (P4) I reduced the Windows folder from 1.14gbts to 636mgb. There was a lot of garbage on it. I did not remove Explorer, but removed the SP1 files. This could be very useful for old computers and laptops. It is smaller than ME & more stable. NT4 would be my choice but is limited for software. NOTE: Make a backup of the SP1 files because Windows will ask to see them during the final setup. It may also ask for the Windows XP CD. It would be advisable to activate XP before altering it. |
