    BB> Bob, I do not know the specs on your laptop. I have a

    Your P3 is the only one slower than my fastest computer, laptop   
    of desktop.   
      
    I have an old Dell similar to that.   
      
    Let's look as my fast old laptop. Compaq Armada 1750, 600MHZ P3,   
    384 M ram. My slow is an old Pentium no number 133mhz. The one I   
    am upgrading is a Toshiba Portege 3110CT, 300mhz PII, 64MB ram   
    going to 256 MB. I am trying to see how little ram I can run it   
    in, and how fast it will be. Trying to gain speed, and   
    minimizing Win 98 with 98lite and removing all unnecessary   
    programs. A minimal system, just to see how fast it will go and   
    deliver a useable system.
