You're Welcome! YES: XP Pro can certainly handle certain RAIDS, like RAID 1, mirroring. It has more to do with the machine and it's set up in the BIOS and on the motherboard I believe. Even our aging (4 years) P4 w/ hyper-thread, can be set up to go RAID 1. I have been looking at a few Dell's now that Gateway has been redone without a real business division. Sure do love Gateway's promised American based support. It's real alright as I have called once or twice and always got a real 48 state based tech. Now that is unique these days except for Jon and AC it seems. Anyway the Better Dells can also be purchased with RAID set-up.
Also here is the key to good wireless as much as anything else. Where do you put the router, right??? I put our router about 10-15 feet away from our main examroom, and even the other one is only side by side with the main one anyway. Nancy's laptop "Always" as full signal strength with our NetGear and the Intel internal wireless cards, that are A,B,G that came on the Gateway convertables. Now My laptop at the front desk has to travel thru about 5-6 layers of sheetrock some with AC current in them just to get thru. I usually have a good, to very good signal and almost always full thru put. At times it can get a little slow, but usually not too bad. But if the laptop is going to remain fairly stationary during the day you could plug and play for better thru-put...
Aren't those Panasonic phones the best, or what??? I only wish that the new ones had a deskset option, then I would buy the new 5.8 set-up. I really love the desksets for punching in numbers on carriers phone cues, sitting on hold, speaker phone and the like. So tell me how is living with the new one so far. Good signal, reliable, are the handsets and their speaker phone enough? Let me tell you, you really learn to love speaker phone with a keypad in front of you after doing enough insurance garbage. Anyway, gotta run...
