I can't say from personal experience, but I have been told that any journalling filesystem (ReiserFS, ext3, jfs, etc.) is a resource hog and should only be used on machines that can handle the extra load. Install Mandrake with the standard Linux ext2 filesystem, and you will probably see an improvement. Also, go through your startup configuration, and remove any services you do not need running. I use Mandrke 7.2, and I remember having to stop several items from running at boot-up, because I did not need them. Dave - -- "Nihil tam munitum quod non expugnari pecunia possit."
