To be honest a PIII 550 is bottom spec for a fully patched up Windows XP SP2. If you're running it as a desktop as well then you really need something around the 1Ghz mark for things to run smoothly. Adding more RAM is always another solution especially if you're running more processes at once, but you may find that you're just hitting the limits of a fairly old processer. Of course another way of prolonging the life of an old pc would be to switch to Linux......your PC would be fine as a dedicated server running Linux. -- Browny ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Browny's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=2295 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=19080 _______________________________________________ Discuss mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/discuss
