Well I thought just as ready boost is meant to do. I've read about it before and used it on windows vista and I liked it alot. What I'm thinking of though is a way to boast windows 98 in an ever demanding resource world. shure there are patches to get more than 1 gig of ram, but not every buddy has money to spend on it, like me a student. Besides it has a cap to that anyway since Win98 is 32bit and slowly 32bit will fade (also 32bit has a ram cap to it too). Though not as fast as RAM memory it is faster than accesing the harddrive and according to wikipedia it made vast improvements on windows vista with only 512mb of RAM. My windows 98 computer is special. I've moved the harddrive from computer to computer and its current resting place is in an old custom XP SP1 computer (so I can't explain it that well). Since I dont have money to spend on rloews (correct if I spelt name wrong) gig patch and in the long wrong the ammount of ram provided by a 32bit computer wont cut it I think that this is perfect to help out with processing recourse heavy programs like newer web browsers, or flash when sites just give up on the old ones (There are plenty others I bet you guys can think of). I would help you but I have no computer background but I've been poking around microsofts website to I can join a class or something so I can get certified as a Microsoft Technology Associate (MTA) (then continue on to being a developer or Microsoft IT professional) I hope you find my points valid and wish you luck. Hopefully I can convince my parents to let me get certified soon (what can I do I'm in highschool) so I can help out not just with your coding (if you are going to do it), but with the site as a whole for I would be honored to help you out for the community.
