Does more RAM make a significant difference?

Windows itself is going to struggle in 128MB before you load any other apps.

Quote of the week It hates it! after the 35min startup it takes about 2 mins to load IE!

P.S. I do not support IE
p.p.s don't let this become a browser debate
p.p.s. like your new rig

right....first WHAT do you have running in the back ground that makes it SO SLOW???? to start up?

Hit the Start Button, click on Run....type in

msconfig

and hit OK

Click the far right hand Tab at the top that says Startup and count how many things are in it, and scroll down if you need to.....


Dont change anything...come back and tell us

I have an old pc back at home, pentium 2 350, and runs winxp pro pretty damn fine. Pretty sure its less than 256mb ram in there (something like 192mb or something)
