I ran a 3400 with 48 Meg ram for a few years and it worked fine. Your Virtual Memory disk read/write is what is killing your speed. You can get a 32 MB RAM card for the 3400 on eBay for a few bucks. That'll give you a total of 48 MB. More costs more. It is very easy to install if you can aquire a torx t-8 screwdriver. They can be found at WalMart, Sears and eBay. They are not commonly found in auto parts stores and hardware stores in general it seems.
