Win2K's slowness - yes it is and I can't disable virtual memory as I recall (memory,
recall --> pun!). Getting Win95 to run on a machine needing the AMD fix can be a
headache. It seems everytime I've tried this I get different results but eventually
it does work, then I Ghost the basic setup for a headacheless future. But I don't
think most (all) folks have gotten it to run above 2.1ghz so I wish I could recall
how I got it to work on the 2.6ghz machine. Well as to the MA401 and Win95 on my
C610, no go. Looks like some of the parts do not have a Win95 inf, dll, etc... so
I couldn't get it to work properly. This post somes via the Win98 partition now on
the PC. It too proved a problem. The 3Com 3C920 Ethernet controller wanted files
I did not have while installing and will have to gather them eventually. This seemed
to slow down the boot process big time. Did upgrade dial up, not winsock, IE 5.5
SP2. I did get the card working but need to finish the ethernet install. Three local
networks, one unsecured, only 20% signal so I can't test anything until I'm at the
local library, they have an unsecured system for everyones use. Will my Zonealarm
firewall protect me there or do I need to take other measures? Need to learn how
this all works asap. - Louis
