Yeah, saw that thread a couple weeks ago... I'm open to any other system. I'm not set on AW specificly. For the same amount of $, I could probably find a much better system than AW anyhow.

In the heat of my frustration w/ my current box, the only site that came to mind was AW.

3 words................Buy a Mac

With a side of fries! :Graucho

I run my business on a 350mhz. I'm not ashamed of it.
it does the job :thumbsup

i was a broke mexican for a while and yes all my work is done on it.

business gets better everyday. I'll get another soon enough.

128 MB of RAM while running XP is your problem. You should have minimum 256, and if you are using photoshop you should have 512.

I've NEVER seen an XP computer ship with less than 256. Even the cheapest pieces of shit. If they could get away with 128, they would.

Yep, its probably just a RAM problem there. XP and PS you'll need at least 512K.

I save my work after every change I make.....

but I only update my site and build galleries !!! ctrl + S is a great command!!!!

Seriously, a little RAM will go a looooong way.
If you check your system resources i'll bet you are consuming more RAM than you have on board and are chewing up all kinds of SLOW ASS virtual memory/swap space.

I maxed out the RAM on my old win98 pII 350 and it was like a whole new animal.

Plus, ram is super cheap now, specially for older machines. You can get 128 for $15 after rebate at best buy.

yep ... that is EXACTLY what I was about to say ...

I have built my own box (es) .. and have found that XP is designed to run optimally with systems that have better than ½ a gig of RAM ... RAM is cheap ... I'd try that route first ...

you can get 256 MB sticks for LESS THAN $25.00

:winkwink:

Well, I reinstalled Photoshop 2 times last night, and it works better now, but, still have some weird issues with it.

Oh well. It's not a huge deal, I have some dough, I was just saving for a new car. Maybe I'll put it toward a computer, and walk everywhere. LOL

In any case, some of you mentioned purchasing a Mac, and I am not opposed to doing this, however, I wouldn't use a Mac as my main box, as some programs that I use are not compatible with the MacOS, but, Macs rock for graphics.

Anyhow, I guess I'll just keep on this box, until it chokes, then see about getting something else. A few of you contacted me about the offer, and that offer is still open to you.

So, that's about it.

Thanks for all of your assistance.
