- Hardpressed and AutoArc will compress files, so less space will be taken up on
- the hard drive... this means that though a 20 meg drive will still be a 20
- meg drive, most files will take up quite a bit less space on the drive,
- giving the equivalent of a bigger hard drive... This being the case, no
- re-partitioning will be necessary... :)
-
- And, Dhrystone is way to test the speed of your computer at doing certain
- processes... it's one way of checking how much faster your computer is with
- an accelerator than without, or how one computer compares in speed to
- another... (though it, like most benchmark tests, have some drawbacks in
- checking different processors against each other, but that's more than I want
- to get into on a tag-end note... ;)

- Yes, it's two, count 'em two, replies in one post! <grin>
