computer for new mega-pixel images ?

He He. A friend of mine fairly frequently calls and says her computer is running slow or doing weird things. It usually turns out she's been running continuously for days, weeks, or even months. (She doesn't like to close her email program, as she usually has about a dozen unfinished email replies open). A simple reboot fixes her up 99% of the time. I wonder why she keeps calling...? Maybe an occasional self-reboot (vacation) would help clear her mind and realize that computers also sometimes need to take a break? |

+ Thanks Ray, for your answer... and thanks as well to Robert, Roy, Bucky, Ed, Ron, Scott, Prometheus, and Mike :-) This question got a lot of good replies... but... this will surprise a few of you maybe... after running a few mem checks, and doing a reboot, I was getting very fast image loading... my best guess at the problem would be loaded buffers or similar. Some of the replies suggested background processes, and, with a fresh boot, there were none, so that might have fixed it. To me, the 1ghz was a major upgrade from my older system, and, while I doubt there will be enough money around, I will definitely look at adding RAM... maybe even a faster chip. Thanks once again for all replies. cut previous messages, for brevity Hello, Stu: Yes, indeed, RAM would be your wisest investment. Even with my two primary systems' relatively puny, Pentium III processors (1050MHz and 600MHz, respectively), it takes nowhere near "10-20 seconds" to open images, taken by my Kodak P850 (5 megapixel digicam). That's what 1GB of memory will do for a PC, you see. ;-) Good luck! Cordially, John Turco |

You are right of course that at 1Ghz it can't be a core 2 duo (although I
think there is a mobile processor at around 1.6Ghz). I assumed core 2 duo as he said it was brand new - I helped my daughter buy a new laptop about four months ago in Canberra Australia and nearly all PC machines were core 2 duo's!. Unfortunately the original poster did not give any useful details of his system or even the program he is using to open his 2Mb presumably jpeg images. regards Malcolm Smith "C J Campbell" wrote in message e.com...
