Yep, I build PCs and am a technician for Purdue University. RAM is the key. Your 750mhz processor should be fine. Another idea would be to upgrade your video RAM or video card. I use ATI cards almost exclusively. I would suggest maybe a 32mb or 64mb ATI Radeon. I, myself, use the ATI ALL IN WONDER due to it's awesome video capture/output capabilities. ;) The machine I use is a dual board operating on 2 P3 733mhz processors and with 1gb of sdram. I'll soon be upgrading it to 1.5gb of ram. This machine is faster than my brother's 1.4 ghz P4 but then my ram is more than double his. Also under the performance tab in "system" (under control panel) change your machine to "network server" and change the virtual memory to use a min of 1-2gb of hd space and max of half of your free HD space. This will boost performance dramatically. No wise tech allows windows to manage the virtual memory ;) Just my thoughts, ----Will
