I currently use HEM on my Dell Dimension desktop (4 years old) and my Inspiron laptop (3 years old). It seems to run slow.
They both have over 2ghz processors. Only 1gb RAM though. I'm definitely thinking of making the desktop 2gb. Will this help alot? I also have a terrible 64mb video card on the desktop. Not sure if that would affect HEM at all though.
The other thing is because I use it on both computers, I share the database on an external WD Passport hard drive. Does this affect the speed much? I think it's only 5400rpm. I'm prepared to create individual databases on each IDE drive if that would improve things. My database is not too large at this point.
Thanks for the suggestions.
