0505 - Summary/Objective
0506 -
050601 - Follow up ref SDS 18 0000, ref SDS 16 0000.
050602 -
050603 - Since installation of Intel mothreboard, additonal RAM and Windows
050604 - 2000 on 000310, the system has been very stable.  There has been not
050605 - a single notice from the operating system of a problem, and no blue
050606 - screen failures.
050607 -
050608 - There have been no indications of former problems under w95 and w98 of
050609 - memory getting fragmented, which is evidenced by programs slowing
050610 - down.  This may be more a function of additional 128M of RAM, but in
050611 - any case w00 has been very stable.
050612 - ..
050613 - Formerly with w98 and 128M of RAM, had to restart OS several
050614 - times a day while running SDS because everything became very slow, and
050615 - some programs stopped working correctly.  This would typically occur
050616 - with 3 or 4 sessions of SDS open, an Internet connection, several
050617 - different web pages open, and mail.  Sometimes the Internet connection
050618 - would fail, could be cleared by restarting Windows 98.  Those problems
050619 - have not occurred so far with w00.
050620 -
050621 -     [On 020416 made clean install of w2k to address similar problems
