Re: [libreoffice-users] why does Windows version take so long to remove?

Hi :)
Depends which type of Ram.  'Old' DDR1 (such as for most of mine) is so horribly expensive it would 
be cheaper for me to buy a new mbord, plus chip, plus a healthy amount of DDR3 leaving a couple of 
slots for a future upgrade.  

On the even older machines at work the 'ancient' sd-ram is difficult to even find.  I think you 
have to find an antiques shop rather than a computer store.  We bought 4 'new' Cpus for about £50, 
which is less than 1 decent stick of DDR1 ram so now those 4 are only horribly slow rather than 
being mind-bogglingly putrifying heaps of horrible slowness.  Quite a step up!!  You can ask them 
to do 2 things at once and it might even finish before the kettle's boiled now!  (rather than after 
lunch).  If those machines got newer hard-drives that spun faster than a buckled
bicycle wheel in thick mud then they might run a tad faster and with
SSDs they might only 'run' at a mildly annoying slow crawl - even on Windows. 

Usually the bottle-neck tends to be Ram, or at least Ram is the easiest fix but it's not always so.

Tom :)

No argument there, especial as cheap as RAM is these days... ;)
