That’s probably because you don’t actually shut it down but suspend! :lol:

I think an SSD will boost anyone's productivity but after that ,...

Yeah, they're good for W7 or better systems.

They are good for XP too ... XP doesn't support trim for keeping the SSD optimized, but there are some easy ways around that. The first computer I installed an SSD had XP on it. It worked perfectly fine and much faster than the 7200rpm drive or even the 10000rpm drive I previously had on that same computer.

And do you then get the message “Operating System not found!” ? :lol:

Btw, what is it you’re "rendering" overnight? :?

I'm sure it works but I wouldn't use it on an XP machine because it's not meant to! :lol:

XP is too stupid to set it up properly and it runs a couple of internal TSRs that are incompatible with it.

It'll work but in a bad way and its life will be shortened. Ah well...
