Re[2]: NT 4.0 on a TP760CD P120..need more ram?

[<emr@teamquest.com>]

     Thanks for your reply(s). This was a clean NT 4 install. I have not 
     gone through and removed any unused services yet. I am not totally 
     sure which ones I need or do not need yet. Would having pagefile.sys 
     on a separate partition help much? And is there that big of a 
     difference in NTFS vs. FAT performance?

Well, I got a 760E with 40 M RAM running it fine and dandy.. runs 
even faster now than my desktop 90mhz (the desktop wins under 95, but 
the TP smokes on NT4!!)
     
Somebody had posted the right way to get NT loaded on here, and then 
it was just a matter of reloading all the IBM stuff.. Your problem 
might be that (and this does sound like something that Redmond would 
do) NT 4 works better if you use NTFS, rather than FAT. And, did you 
do the install from a clean drive? I tried to get it to work nice 
from 95, until I heard about how screwed up it could get, resulting 
from the Registry differences. I ended up just throwing it on a clean 
drive.
