so, i've got this dell system that has a Pentium Celeron D 2.53 GHz processor with 512 MB RAM running XP Home that runs like a pig in drying mud
i haul out an old Pentium 3 700 MHz with 512 MB RAM running Windows 2000 and it performs better than the above system - less delay opening programs, playing video smoothly; unfortunately it isn't black but a bit of decorative play with colored sharpies should help
i just don't get how a system that is 5 years old runs better
my challenge now is to resist hucking out the new system - perhaps linux will run more smoothly
but it does go back to my feelings that computers shouldn't be discarded so quickly by people - just have to find a purpose for it
