ABSTRACT

Many turn to hardware upgrades in order to improve the speed and responsiveness of Windows NT/2000. From the latest hard drives and CPUs to more RAM, IT executives are constantly striving for upgrades that will open the door to increased performance. More recently, defragmentation techniques have gained popularity as an effective means of boosting performance at a fraction of the cost of hardware upgrades. Additionally, fragmentation is a significant factor in system instability. Users who keep their servers and workstations fragment free experience far fewer crashes, hangs, and system instability issues.
