I have actually been trying to get hold of a cheap P400, but the friend of a friend that was supposed to be doing it seems to be stalling, for whatever reason.

not even 100£?
with this you can get yourself a new nforce 2 mobo with integrated gfx and sound... and a 1700+ processor... all the rest - your auld HDD , CD, FDD, moniotor - oh... 130 £ - £30- 256 MB of 266DDR too... well?
Apart from that, you could go real cheapo... and go for ASUS NForce mini ATX for 40£ and the rest and you get a gf2MX level graphics integrated new proc, sound , and 256 MB mem ... which is all of the above for 100£
that is probable 4x the processing power of your present PC... good for all the games up to 2003 ones...Socrates: "Good is That at which all things aim, If one knows what the good is, one will always do what is good." Brian: "Romanes eunt domus"

OK, I get that now. Thanks.Originally posted by Asher
On the Taskbar, minimized windows appear the same as inactive windows that may be maximized/restored. I'd prefer if there were 3 states shown on the taskbar: Active (already has it), inactive (already has it), and a minimized state (perhaps grey it out a bit more?).
Start > Programs > (right-click) > Sort by Name arranges all the folders alphabetically. At least it does on my comp (XP Home). Is that what you meant?As for the alphabetize feature, I could've sworn it used to be there, but on my XP Pro installation I couldn't find it in the minute I checked, but TweakUI has an alphabetize/sort feature I used.If I'm posting here then Counterglow must be down.Comment

If you have enough RAM, you can simply disable the page file entirely. I have 1 or 2 GB comps running XP with the page file disabled, and performance is quite nice.Originally posted by Zopperoni
- Make it rely less on the page file, since modern PCs have more RAM

My list is more developer oriented:
UI:
Allow design time specification of automatically resizeable UI elements depending on screen resolution. i.e. a specified font for a button, or the button itself, could be easily defined in percentages of screen resolution, OR as a fixed element.
Right now, you have two choices - fixed UI elements so that different resolutions look weird (tiny buttons or huge ones, etc.) or UI elements created dynamically at runtime, which is slow as hell and a pain to debug.
Kernel:
Automatic tracking of parent and child processes, and cleanup of orphaned child processes automatically on shutdown of the application.
Allow application level control of pagefile behavior.When all else fails, blame brown people. | Hire a teen, while they still know it all. | Trump-Palin 2016. "You're fired." "I quit."Comment

They recommend at least 512MB for it to work, 1GB is the only time I'd do it, though. Otherwise things can and do **** up."The issue is there are still many people out there that use religion as a crutch for bigotry and hate. Like Ben."
