Here's perhaps something new to bash: -AMD. Naw, -kidding. Take It Easy. EASY now...but listen. Forget the OSes. What's getting better, or should be getting better is the hardware. After all, 2010 has arrived. Let's talk cache, and RAM. I feel some AMD processors with less cache run steadier than those that try to match Intel's stuff. It's like the difference between a snap and a thud, performance -wise. It's well documented some motherboard manufacturers actually set their bioses to take older Athlon 64's HyperTransport down a step, for instance-and it actually improved some benchmarks. So either your machine is BROKE and its a miracle ANY OS can keep integrity what so ever, or your stuff is good, and it'll probably run most anything just fine. OF COURSE Restore should delete itself-especially if you have good enough ram quantity/quality, just like all that Virtual Memory stuff in the background should erase itself,too.?? Just a thought.. Then there is, of course hard drive mushiness as well. What we don't know about hard drive error algorythyms won't hurt us. ?? Is there perhaps a reason Acronis comes free only with Seagate drives? Or am I guessing wrong?
