Has anyone noticed a significant speed difference between using WinXP set up
with the FAT32 file system as opposed to the NTFS file system?  I'm just

I'm so new to VPC that it (still) hurts! I'm going crazy trying to
install my very first Windows OS into VPC for the first time. I did go

I have VPC 6.1.1 running on my Powerbook 800Mhz, Mac OSX 10.3.4.
Here in the UK it is perfectly stable and while SLOW works a charm and is
very reliable, both in the office, from home (running VPN into our network)
and from hotels.

I am very new to networking but am so close to making this all work...
I recently made the switch from a wired to an Airport Extreme network.
