Time to speed things up.
Ive reached the limit of what I can do with memory,have the fastest and maxed out on limits,but things are pretty slow yet,especially on boot-ups take forever.
So for the 7 year old laptop and about same on desktops they are getting solid state hard drives.I picked up 2 Crucial bleeding edge drives at 109 dollars each for 240 GB.
On the laptop it will triple hard drive space and blast up the speed.Its said should make my old comp faster than a new laptop without a solid state drive.
For the desktop the old hard drive will remain as drive D,drive C will be the SSD for loading operating system and a few programs that are heavy users,like the Kodak pictures and a few others.
Both machines will be using Linux Ubuntu as it has promised coverage for several more years.
The old laptop HDD will become portable storage with a case for mounting it.19 dollars
The desktop will get a case frame that can mount 2 SSD's in a single 3.5 bay.7 dollars
