My folding has ground to a halt. I can't seem to finish this WU since it gets up to 60-70% and then goes back to 0%. I suspect it is an issue with my ancient PC.
I'm looking to buy a new PC and I wonder if anyone could familiarize me with the differences between the Windows XP home, professional and media center versions.
I got the Media Center version with my last PC. Just nore bells and whistles with multimedia files. It automatically organizes songs, etc.
That's all I know. I've had home and professional in the past, and I've never lacked for features. What do you use your comp for?
overtxt is right - what do you use your computer for?
XP Home is good enough for most folks. XP Media Center is available and standard for all but the cheapest systems.
If you mostly surf the net, get a fast CPU, a good video card and lots of RAM (512 mb - 1gb). A SATA drive is recomended if you can get it with your package.
I suspect that you have issues with the old system, probably with Windows. If restarting the system doesn't help clean up the problem, then delete the entire F@H directory and install a fresh copy.
Ping us with updates, please!
I have the media center computer for a while now. I use it to record/watch my tv shows. Like Tivo, you can set it up to record an entire season of shows, etc., but with no monthly charges.
