Good data, Tiny. Let me research out your motherboard for a little bit. I want to look at the bus speed for that board. Your machine certainly should be faster. The CPU is the first most important factor, and the motherboard's bus speed is the second most important factor. For a 3.04 Intel chip, your motherboard should be operating at 800 Mhz, instead of at 533. After these two factors, RAM, and then the Hard Drive Controller are the next most important factors. Sometimes, the Hard Drive is the bottleneck. Let me check some details, and I'll get back to you.
