Paul,>>>Most home users (imo) are not being limited by the CPU performance.<<<

My sister has an IBM Aptiva with a Cyrix inside, I think, (She is not poor - maybe a little cheap - but mostly she doesn't know what she is doing) and whenever I use her computer (I don't do it very often) - it seems like it takes forever just to boot the system. Same thing when I try to switch to another program (say MS Word) - it takes foreeeeeeeeever.

What is the problem there - is it the CPU?

Mary

PS: I have a Dell Dimension XPS - it's lightning fast compared to my sister's computer.

Wow - .89!!!!
