Well, as I posted, I wasn't supprised by the phenomena.. and stated my
specs were too low.  The surprise was in the fact both win2k and winxp
can do considerably better on that machine.  At least in terms of
laoding the gui and running gui tools.

They are also somewhat slow of course... but considerably more peppy
than FC3t2.
