I agree. We have our machines built, using very compatible hardware...from the mother board on up. If you want to email me, I'll tell you what hardware we use...rather than plaster it all over the board....and, where our computers come from.
They may not be the biggest baddest out there, but they run.....and fairly smoothly.
No games go on these computers. My working machine is kept to a bare minimum....only what I absolutely need for my work.
We run NT, which is a fairly stable OS......mainly 'cause we have two engineers here...who know NT.....
There's nothing worse than having your system crash...you have my sympathy.
