The Fragmentation Disease: Slowing It All DownBURBANK, CA--(Marketwire - May 5, 2008) - When it comes to computing, there are problemsthat are more basic than others. Probably at the bottom are hardwareproblems; all hardware obviously has to be connected and operational forthe computer to function. Next would be the operating system, which needsto be in place for any work to be performed on the computer.
