New 2k project

[dirtwarrior]

OK tested a few shells.

Litestep uses less resources maybe not as configurable as others but nice.

try sharpE it use less ram but the problem is the size (~20mb)

www.sharpe.sourceforge.net

Error 404 The file don't exist at sourceforge.net.

Try http://www.sharpe-shell.org/news.php - it has a download link on it. You'll also see that it's been a long time since the last release, though, so it might be worth holding off until the next one comes along, since they've been making a lot of changes.

Does this use more or less ram?

intrigued, i went to find out about sharpe. it's new to me.

i just installed in 2003 in a virtual machine.

i have screenshots here. the long and short of it? ram usage went UP by 38 mb when using sharpe.

no doubt you will find the same result in 2000.

<said politely> you guys are looking for a holy grail here. if you want a fast win2k, shut off explorer, run ExploreXP to navigate, and run your programs without overhead.

fdv test litestep it shuts off explorer and uses litestep shell. In my test it used less ram than default windows.
