I have no experience using SSDs, so I am clueless about some of the technical terms thrown around. Is this true? Or is this even needed on Windows XP? This may technically be called running manual GC, I am not sure. Thank you in advance for your help. I understand, but that is not my question here. Cerb Elite Member.

Oct 14, 2, 1 Samsung's drives are great and they offer ways to optimise and clean the disk from within their utility program. It's Not Lupus Senior member. Aug 19, 3 Deders said:.

So I'm thinking out of the box it really is already over provisioned. Also, if you have a platter in the computer in addition to the SSD put your temp directory on the platter.

From your description I think I should first create a partition that leaves a bit of space towards end of the drive e. Next, install the OS. Is this correct? Use the following steps to install Windows XP from the hard drive : 1. Yes it will. Many of the applications that you use have to interact with parts of Windows.

Even if the bulk of your application data is on another drive, application startup time will be somewhat improved. Reinstalling Windows XP can repair the OS, but if work-related files are stored to the system partition, all of the data will be erased during the installation process. To reload Windows XP without losing files, you can perform an in-place upgrade, also known as a repair installation. And if they break, they will take all your data with them.

SSDs will break after a similar time. But even then, all your data will still be there. And you won't accidentally break them because you lifted your computer while running. There is only one thing you should disable: Defragmenting is a perfect waste of time for an SSD. An SSD gains nothing by defragmenting. But with wear-leveling and whatnot, an SSD will probably not even write anything for the kind of block-moves defragmenting does. It will only update its block tables but leave the actual data untouched.

This is the price we pay for using old technology or living by his Stevenesses rules. So be sure to get. I would safely assume this person isn't. There may be reasons to stick with XP, but if you want to use new technology don't be surprised when it doesn't work well.

Many people don't want to use Windows 7 since it's a crappy OS. It uses systemresorces as crazy. I don't buy new hardware so the OS can use it, I buy new hardware so my programs can run faster.

If you are going to spend good money on new technology There is nothing wrong with XP Old means it doesn't support the latest technology "out of the box". If you want to use an SSD Try using 6gb of ram with xp. And then complain that it takes a lot of extra effort to get working right if at all. Sign up to join this community.
