[H]APPY NEW YEAR to all !
I just put in 2 gigs of memory into my HP7000.
I do alot of cad and Photochop stuff (tiff files)
I've read that no page file, to run on a seperate partition (what size?), to let windows manage the page file size is best!
Even if you run no page file, windows will still set one up.
What to do?
I use sony Acid music studio to record my band and was wondering if it has any stuff like the Rootkit found on the CDs?
Anyone know how to look for it?
Should I go through the registry?
Or am I just freekin out for nothin!
