Remember: search done in more than 10's of Billions of pages, serving millions at the same time worldwide!! How giant is that computers?\n\nIs there any way to gain access and make there fast computers process things for us faster than our "dump" pc's?

You can actually download and use Google's APIs.  That's about as close as you'll get to using their massive computers for your own stuff.  Here's a link to Google's code page:\nhttp://code.google.com/

i tend to agree.. i have been a pc jockey for a bit too long myself and its occuring more and more to me lately that there actually is a world outside.  sometimes im shocked when the sun hits my face, so maybe it's time to stuff the box in the closet and take out my walking shoes.  id like to write a book too, but i find the time passing on the internet most days, then another and another.  thing is, every day is the same on the internet and there doesnt seem to be any real point to it.  hm

how about creating a dynamicly driven website with SQL engine.  Where you can add stuff and easily search it in the search bar.  That would be a good one for you.

Nobody uses that much horsepower. Unless you are using the pc for a database that is accessed by thousands or something. Or into animation graphics. There is no need for 2 gigs of ram either. But if you are content on having it you should check out the Mushkin ram or Corsair best out there!

on most search engines it has to get a track from a certain source..and there may be things slowing down that source...  \n\ne.g. i use bearshare and normally it only takes a few seconds but there are times when it will take days, so i find a new source

You seem to be decently knowledgable about computers, and as a result, I can't help but suggest you might upgrade some components of that computer. Even for "googling", a computer with those specs can have trouble running the newest versions of Internet Explorer (rather it can, but if you try doing 2 or 3 things at once, it's going to slow down drastically). For $25-$50 you can get a significantly faster processor, and if necessary, for another $50 you can get a newer motherboard to put it on. You'll likely be able to keep every other component of the computer, yet you'll have a significantly more useable computer.\n\nOn that note, I would recommend staying away from Windows XP and ME. I would personally suggest sticking with Windows 98 SE. The reason is that as we've gotten new operating systems, the hardware requirements have went up. I upkeep 50+ computers that are about 6 years old and are running Windows 2000. The OS isn't my choice, though it's probably the best for my situation. But I've seen how much troule the computers have on the internet because they're pretty close to the minimum requirements for the OS. Stick with an older OS and you'll have faster speeds as a result.

I noticed that you put this answer on every question you asked. Wow is all I have to say. Its a shame thou but kinda funny that people are computer nerds and all that. Only someone would do what you did.\n\nhmmm...just another dumb hunky lol

Well whats the age of your PC.  Are you getting an error?  When you say it takes too much time, makes me think you may have to little memory.  Have atleast 256MB or 512 MB of RAM?

As regards future usefulness it is hard to beat Computing.\n\nBest of luck !

SATA here and a fairly fast motherboard with 2GB Ram, still takes a lot loner than 10 seconds before it is "ready to work".\n\nIf it was with Linux or some other less bloated software than windows then yes, it may very well be practical.

IBM is way up there.  I think I read more than 100,000

Only the WalMart data center has enough storage space to house the entire World Wide Web. And besides, with internet content changing every second, why would you want a copy of it?\n\nSeriously, there is far too much data on the Web to be housed in your computer....

My office went from a printer with 2mb ram to something like 48 and the difference in speed was amazing. I had to run checks on the printer and it saved a lot of time. Huge difference if you have large print jobs.

It's computers. Nothing you can really do about it. It sometimes depends on how many people are using the Internet at the time.

Well the info on the Internet isn't on your couputer - It is on servers on the Internet.  You are only downloading the pages that interest you.\n\nAside from that, hard drives are getting massive these days, and that is where you are storing your own information.  80 Gigs is kind of huge.  Essentially you are talking 80 billion characters.  Heck of a novel.\n\n-Dio
