Optimizing my computer

<t>The resource meter says my computer has about 50 percent System, User and GDI resources. This seems to be making UV and other programs slower. I have a P450 with a 13GB HD, but 6 GB are free, so I assume that isn't the problem.<br/>

<t>Peattie's book is a bit dry. But I like his analytical method of isolating the strengths and weaknesses of Japanese naval aviation. It's interesting to note that the IJN had its share of airpower extremists who believed that the entire surface should be scrapped, and replaced by aircraft.<br ...

POLL: How many losses have you taken?

<t>I ask this question because in every PBEM game I've been in (Scenarios 17 and 19), the losses are far, far higher than historically. In May '42, the Americans and Japanese can easily lose a half-dozen cruisers and numerous transports, leaving the gaping question of how many ships everyone will ...
