I'd definitely check into it.
My laptop is 650MHz and flies also... Hmmm. Sure, the video card is really really crap. But top shows that most of the CPU time is in mozilla, with a bit in X. The K6II only has only mmx and no sse. I also added 256 Meg of 133MHz RAM, ontop of the original 128 100MHz RAM. My understanding is that adding faster ram to a machine that only does 100MHz will not *slow* things down, am I right? -- TimC -- http://astronomy.swin.edu.au/staff/tconnors/ cat ~/.signature CPU time limit exceeded (core dumped) -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
