Wow! I am flattered at the huge response I'm getting about this problem. Sorry to hear that Broc's got a similar problem. Anyways, I'm not that technologically savvy. I don't know much about BIOS and caching stuff. I have not tried removing the RAM to see if that changes anything in WU times. I'm at college and my computer is usually running 24x7, have a couple days off so I will keep you updated on that when I do it. With my P3800 128MB RAM (a single 128MB RAM chip) I was just under 13 hours a WU, with the addition of a single 128MB upgrade, well, I am at just under 40% and it has taken over 17 hours. I've got plenty of HD space free (multiple GB), though I don't think that would have much of an effect. I have not noticed significant slowdowns with other programs. It may or not be related, but I noticed the difference about the same time I put WinMe (blech!) on my computer, updated from Win98 2nd edition (WinMe upgrade came first, then RAM upgrade). As I said before, I really don't know much about the core software, etc. so I don't mess around with BIOS and registry stuff, etc. How would I check the BIOS? And, how would I know if there has been some degradation and how to fix it? Thanks!
