that is what you get when you start using windoze, because every
time a new version comes yout it requires much more memory to
run (and leaves less for programs to run) and the CPU requirments
also go up. Have any of you seen the requiments of win2K? they
seems just silly, how want's to use 50% of his/hers computing
power to run the os?
