I have a Genuine Intel with Pentium 3 processor (desktop).  D Drive
has  15.2 gig
capacity and C Drive has 3.81 gig capacity.  I have 511 mgs of ram in it.

Believe it or not it still isn't fast enough.  I wait longer than you would
think I should have to for programs (like Eudora) to open.  It really
isn't as zippy as one would think it should be.  I'm wondering if putting
Windows 2000 on it would speed it up?  Would it screw up 16 bit programs?
Where can I check on current hardware configurations against Win 2000
requirements?

All that ram "does help with" is by not overloading the system when I have big
scanning jobs ( say in the discovery phase I scan 1000's of legal docs for
an attorney on a big trial, turn them all into tiff files and put them on
CD), it helps with image manipulation in Photoshop and it helps when video
tape needs editing.

Do you guys think I should load Win 2000 to make it faster or get rid of
Eudora?
