Hello All,
> I am helping a friend out with an older computer(app 6 1/2 yrs old).  
> Compaq Pentium III 800 mhz processor, 30 gig hd Bus clock 133 mhz,  160 
> mb DIMM,NTFS.  The machine came with Windows ME.  Someone installed 
> Windows XP Pro and it has slowed down considerably. He uses it to pay 
> some bills online and has very limited use.  He just wants it back like 
> it was.  Now come the questions. 1) Is the slow-down because of the 
> amount of memory that XP Pro requires? 2)  If so, what is the correct 
> procedure to uninstall XP Pro and re-install ME or 3) is 98 second 
> Edition better?
