Question
Hardcore Til I Die
Hi
I have two problems with computers at work and would be grateful for any thoughts.
1) My computer now runs really slowly. It has the same processor and RAM (E8400 dual core 3GHz, 4GB RAM) as my home computer, which is a hell of a lot more responsive. My main suspicion is that my work computer is slow because it acts as a file server, and around 10 other computes access files on it. Does anyone think this might be causing it to run slowly? I've tried to talk my boss into buying a dedicated file server but he doesn't think he can justify the cost. It's got to the point where sometimes I can be waiting 2-3 minutes for something as simple as a popup to appear. And Microsoft Outlook freezes constantly.
Apart from that I've tried the usual making sure it doesn't run lots of unnecessary stuff at startup, defragging, etc.
2) The computers in the office I work in periodically disconnect from the terminal server at our head office. We have ran some ping tests and both the server and our office are able to ping each other at the time that the disconnects occur, so the problem is not due to lost internet connectivity on either end and must be being caused by something else. Any ideas?
Thanks a lot in advance.
