Hi Thanks for the quick reply. I've just tested my OpenOffice (Using Write) and it load in 14 seconds this is on a Dual Processor 200Mhz (yes! 200Mhz) running 9.1 with 1Gb RAM a 56Gb SCSI RAIDed disk subsystem, and a TNT2 M64 32MB Video. The system is in fact a DELL 6100/200 This is quite acceptable to me or have I missed something? -- William
