I tell him to get more than his 256MB ram but he does not believe it, he cannot see how this can be so. I don't know if I am right. On yours I would think - if it is not a question of ram (you surely need over 500) - it would be an inherently slow bus speed... What is slow or quick is relative, but 'dog slow' is nicely absolute!
