Elik,
Will do later tonight. In the office now box is at home. Just to let
you know I've run through dmesg etc and all seems good..... Just takes
forever to do anything. One point worth noting on this box. I've also
tried to put some games on this before (Sim City 3000, MS Golf) and they
run equally slow. I'm wondering if the problem isn't that with the
Celeron, Inhell (spelling intentional ) removed the L1 cache and shrank the
L2 cache. (also this is a PC book boxen)
