You mean 256Mb RAM, right? I don't know that DOS would even boot in 256k.

Nevertheless, 256MB is not very much. You're OS is swapping to disk quite a bit under these conditions, thus causing your comptuer to run slower. If you bump it up to even 512MB you'll see significant performance gains. But I would try to get a gig of ram in there. I would also set your virtual memory to a fixed size rather than letting the OS dynamically allocate it. Oh...I second the motion to upgrade to xp(professional).

Cheers!
