In that scenario, I think you'll find that how responsive your system is has more to do with how much RAM you have than how fast your CPU is. Those applications are all memory hogs, and swapping to disk will bog your system right down. I consider 512M a minimum, these days. Anything above 1G is probably past the point of diminishing returns for the kind of usage you're talking about, unless you're editing large image files in GIMP. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
