hey i was using shrink to reduse the size of an 8 gig dvd and it took me an excessive time of 2 hours and 30 min for 4.5gigs i shrunk it too, whcih when transfered to my comp ended up being about 5.2 gigs?.while in dycpt i can do i 8gig file in about 45min to an hour. I was just wondering what i can do to speed up the process. system info: Amd athlon 550mhz 128 ram 12x read buslink dvd burner 100MHZ bus speeb win xp professional thanks
I belive it's time for a system upgrade, You should be running at least 512 MB of RAM. A new computer would really make a huge difference though.
Well i know im probly in need if a new processor but would addign more ram/memory speed up my computer without getting a new processor or would i just be throwing me money away.
Adding memory certainly should help, especially since you're running XP, which manages memory about as well as my 5 year old manages money. ;-) Seriously, I consider it a mistake to run XP with anything less than 256MB of memory. Using 128MB is basically equivalent to running Windows 98 or Windows 2000 with 64MB.
ya i love xp but when this things gets into its loops its a pain in the ass. As far as memory goes any certain kind that i should use? So adding its not like adding and intake to a car without adding an exhuast. since the processor is slow (550mhz) but its amd atholon and seems to do its job compared to some of these news comps.
