Your bottleneck is your bus speed. There is nothing you can do about that. Installing a newer hard drive might help a bit, but (as you noticed) it's not the amount of ram, it's the speed of it. Sorry to put it bluntly, but you're trying to run 2007 software on a 2002 (?) machine at full speed, and that is simply not possible. -- Best Regards, Jack Linux User #264449 Powered by Debian GNU/Linux on AMD64 -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
