No, It only has a 256, being 5 years old. It had a new hardrive installed under warranty a few years ago and seemed very fast then. The other day I timed it on shut down and reboot, it took 13 minutes to get back to my home page.

Firefox seems highly recommended here, is that something I should load? What are it's advantages?

Gotta leave to computer for a bit, but will return.

Thanks for the assist!

I would definitely add more memory. Are you running XP? 256MB is not nearly enough memory for XP. Maybe for Windows 2000, but not XP.

You need more RAM, at least 8 times more RAM.
