Just use one reliable browser for a test. Open nothing else at all. Can you surf at any reasonable realistic pace (knowing that it can be very slow and frustrating on 56K for anyone on any machine. Use that other faster connection you mentioned in your first post if you can). If this test passes fine and 'cos you are talking multiple apps and switching and cursors it sounds that slow web browsing might in your case be just a general consequence of low resources and slow processing speed. If you want to keep this machine, get more memory first thing.
If you are doing things to web pages, view the effects of your text editing off line by dragging your html files over your browser, the effect should be nearly immediate. iCab is brilliant for this and its thing is little memory. Do same for IE. When you are happy, then upload your files by FTP and see the effects - more slowly. > Subject: Re: Browsing on a WGS 7350 > From: "Jesse R Lucke" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> > > Perhaps I shall go into greater detail: I test pages in multiple browsers > for the website I manage.
