I'm using a WinXP-pro PC. I like using the Windows "search files and
folders" (and I deliberately set it to search everything, every filetype,
etc. not some light indexed stuff). PC has I think a 2 GHz processor,
about 500MB RAM, and I think video card is middle of road or maybe a notch
up.
But problem is...every "search" slows the whole PC down... other software
loads very slow, and after clicking it takes a moment for things to
happen. If I do two or three searches at same time, it gets 'really' slow,
sometimes ends up with some type of error. I need searches to keep going
in the background, but 'not' slow the PC down while I'm working on other
things.
Questions are....
( )yes ( )no. Is this a function of the PROCESSOR speed, if so...how
much more do I need?
( )yes ( )no. Is this a function of the RAM size, , if so...how much
more do I need?
( )yes ( )no. Is this a function of the VIDEO card memory? if so...what
more do I need?
Thanks,
George
