Roger and Clint,
Thanks for your advice.
I do have an outdated Norton AV. Also AdAware and SpyBot. I defrag
periodically.
I NEVER reformat. Haven't installed any applications.
I checked CPU speed at Posting at 2.50GHz/400MHz, CACHE RAM=128KB; so maybe
BCM reported the slow speed wrongly.
Thanks, Paul Gene
