Well, I have a question. I have a Pentium Pro 200mhz system, overdrive upgraded to a PII 333mhz with 96meg of ram. And I can run those programs in a multi-tasking environment without a hitch... and cruise the net. Sounds like not a bad system, depending upon the motherboard a processor upgrade would be the cheapest way to go... but I'd still be curious why the current system is running like a dog!?>?
