Quickbooks File Size Question ihatecrappymail@yahoo.com 07-12-2006

 Hello,

I will be moving to Quickbooks Enterprise 2006 soon and was curious
about the size of data files in this version. My main concern is if an
80gb hard drive should be enough to accomodate the Enterprise version
of the QB database as well as future growth. Right now our data file is
less than 100mb, but I don't know if that would change drastically when
switching to Enterprise. Any help is greatly appreciated!!

Math

100 MB divided by 80,000 MB = .00125 total disc space.

Just how big do you think enterprise makes that file?

It depends. If your drive currently has 79.8 gigabytes of cat pictures, you
may not have enough room.

Take no chances.

Next box of CrackerJacks, get the 160GB drive from the bottom of the box and
install it as a secondary drive.

Considering how low hard drive prices are now, how bloated
Vista will be, and how bloated other programs are
i'd go for the largest drive you can as well as the most
memory you can afford.

The problme here is Windows Vista is a moving target,
but it is safe to say you'll need a huge hard drive
and a ton of memory.

But considering how low hard drive prices are now
i'd go with the largest drive you can afford.
