There is no economy in buying cheap RAM, you'll be buying the proper stuff
again later or you'll get a new computer.
Go to Crucial.com and plug in what your computer is and they'll get you the
right stuff the first time at a reasonable price.

Thanks Dan, I have just made that change [I had it at 4000, now at 6500].
Hopefully that will help. With the "mydefrag" program running that Walt
suggested [thanks again Walt] it does start and run faster.
I tried switching the memory chips around, but it is still as the manual
says, running a matched pair in 1 and 3 [2 x 256 MB] and 2 and 4 [2 x 1 GB].
That didn't do anything. Once it starts working it is fine, but it is that
2 minute wait for it to process the first statement after a pause that is
driving me nuts. The manual suggests a matched set of 2 x 2GB as optimal,
but I'll have to be a lot more frustrated before I spend that amount of $.
I am reminded of a friend who had a then new 286 when we bought our first
laptop: "That is entirely too easy to pick up and throw against the wall".
I may have to move my sledge hammer out to the back porch.
