Any difference in RAM between the "slow" machines and the "fast" ones? Any difference in software running on one vs another? Little things like RealPlayer can make a difference in the apparent speed of machines.

Many times, something as simple as defragmentation results in improvement, but not always. And of course I try to determine if the slowness is accessing the internet, or just accessing files on our servers. We're working on those issues. What concerns me is that as I move around doing updates from time to time, is the fact that while all our workstations are virtually identical configurations, they all do not seem to move equally fast when I do an upgrade locally. This is a small shop, so I am able to remember that it seems that it's usually the same machines that seem to move slower than others, and some even much faster than others when running local updates. Does anyone know of some software that might help me to determine what if any "issues" are slowing down certain machines? If anyone has suggestions as to possible causes and fixes, I'd sure like to have them.
