That's been my experience too. I have an old
pII 233 that was a dog: a new 30 gig HD and Win2k
and it's like a new machine.

I had a ram drive on an old system (win 3.11?) and temp files loaded
into ram. TS and other stuff were very fast and stable
(a side benefit is the temp directory is purged every time
you reboot). Anyone know how to do it in Win2K?
Thanks,
