IF he would increase his Memory to 256, or more if possable, he would
leave you in the Dust. People just don't realize how too little memory
SEVERLY hurts the speed of a computer running Windows.
I concider 256 as Absolute minimum and 512 is better.
For the multitasking master 1 Gig or more should be the target.
