Windows Steadystate works great on AO D150

Just thought I would share that I had no problem getting Windows Steadystate to run well on my 2 day old D150. If your not familiar with Steadystate, it is free software from Microsoft to lock down the C: Drive. You should repartition your drive in to a C: and D:, then defrag before installing Steadystate.

After it's all done and Windows Disk Protection is turned on, you will have an almost bullet proof system free of any new viruses, malware, and "normal" system slow down after normal use. This is the type of setup seen in libraries and hotel business centers.

Tweakui helps in pointing default folders to the D: partition. I thank you guys for posting about the EASEUS partition utility, as my Partition Commander 9.01a didn't like the drive geometry from the factory.

The 2GB Kingston memory module arrived about 5 days ago. Steadystate is running even faster now, DUH!

There have been no negative issues with this setup.

I should add that with 2 GB's of ram, there is a lot less disk activity when using IE7. This is confirmed by the lower hard drive temperature of 36 degress cel. I use DTemp to monitor the temp http://private.peterlink.ru/tochinov/. The drive use to run 42 deg cel or higher
