Regarding this spesific question i am running a P200 mmx with 32 meg.
But your problem is a slow processor, one way of increasing speed on slower
machines, (ie yours) is to increase the amount of memory, that i will agree
with. But in this day and age of motherboards which cost next to nothing,
!!!, need i say more.
On another note, i have machines running here from 386/33/SX with 4 meg to
a P2 400 with 128 megs.
