.........I did find that running a different browser than IE helped overall performance. I also found that running MSCONFIG and cleaning up all the background systems running helped performance. And running CCleaner daily gets me off to a fresh start but no problems with Windows per se.......
My response to this was: .
............You’re essentially cleaning up and tweaking.........
My next response was then going to be:
Linux requires less cleaning and tweaking than windows does for optimal performance, but the post I had in mind was post 7. The following was said by RayChuang88:
...........I'd go with a Mac over a Linux-based computer for a couple of reasons:
1) A lot more hardware support, especially for USB external devices.
2) No need to constantly tweak the OS to get best performance.............
That's what I get for not paying attention! LOL I thought you had came back after making these comments to talk about MSCONFIG and the like. I wasn't gonna flame on or anything, but I did find it ironic.
Oh well. But between defrags, antivirus and antispywares, as well as the occassional tweaks and cleanups, windows does require more upkeep. I've never even *HEARD* of a linux defragger, though I'm sure such a beast exists. Somewhere.
