Hi,

One of my colleague's PC is having a weird behavior. Whenever he makes a
dial-up to the ISP, his whole system slows down in performance tremendously
after a successful log-in to the ISP. The movement of the mouse is not as
smooth during the connection to the ISP compared to the movement before the
connection. Once the system disconnects from the ISP, everything returns to
normal.

Here's a brief description of the system:

120 MHz Overdrive Chip
16 MB Ram
Win95A

Could insufficient RAM be the cause of the slow down in performance or
could it be the repeated reinstallation of the OS?? He also encounter a few
error messages which he could not remember what they were.

Please comment.....
