First off the hardware :

                I have a Compaq 2.4 Ghz P4, 512 mb ddr, 60 Gb Hdd machine
running Win2000. My tab files are stored remotely on an Alpha server,
reserved for mapping data, and at this point in time, I am the only user of
this server, except for some telnet inquiries. 

                Now the problem:

                My problem is that this system runs MapInfo slower than the
old 866, win98se machine I upgraded from, which was running under the same
configuration with regard to networking, and now the problem developed to
something unworkable.

                Specifically I'm trying to run a continuous polyline through
various points, this line in total is 3.2Km in length. As I join points
together currently visible on the screen every thing is fine. A soon as the
machine autopans toward the next point, the map refresh is not smooth,
leaving a vertical stagger between data displayed. This makes connecting the
points impossible as Mapinfo  will no longer snap to points.

                I'm looking for information on advanced configurations for
Win 2000 to improve its useability, or some advice that confirms MapInfo
runs more efficiently on Win98SE or XP Pro.

                All other standard office and CAD apps. have shown an
increase in speed so I don't think that the problem is hardware based.
