This is a bit weird...we have some pcs with P5 166MMX with only 32MB (and
another 32MB swao) and it runs fine. Not all that slow. Netscape does take a
long time to load but after that it should be okay. Gimp should work fine as
well. A bit slow using some of the filters/tools but otherwise should be usable.
Could there be some background tasks running that you don't need? Also...what
speed are you connecting at?
