Normal vs Selective Start Up

Am I asking for trouble using selective rather than normal setting at start
up. Using selective leaves me with 88% of my system resources unused.
Conversely, normal leaves me with less than 75%. Please advise.

I have been using Selective for eons......no problems with it.

*sandalwood by the bay*?? Not in Brampton, are you??

Btw...if that is your real email address, change it immediately to an
invalid one.....see mine. Spambots roam the news groups constantly.

Cheers....Heather

Selective Startup is, in practical terms, the correct mode for almost
everybody. As soon as you disable, eg, PCHealth Scheduler (a good idea), or
Machine Debug Manager (essential), you are in Selective Startup mode. The
question is what to disable and what not to disable. What do you have
disabled?
