I’m using my old desktop as an application host, i.e. I have all my software dumped on it.

The desktop is networked to my laptop where I pull up the various programs and run them.

My question is, are the app’s running on my old desktop, using its memory and such or, are they running on my laptop which is much faster and would be the preferance for running apps.

thanx 4 any help.

swift.C:-)

What operating system(s) are we talkin’ 'bout? It makes a HUGE difference.
