"Well mine is an old computer Win98SE, 550MHz with 520Mb Ram and IE6 appears to install

Kieth,
Stop torturing yourself with a 550MHz CPU. I replaced a P3 550MHz with a P3 850MHz
I got on eBay recently for only $7. Most faster P3's appear for sale regularly ranging
in price from under $10 to $20. They are practically giving them away. The exception
is the P3 1000MHz 100FSB which I have seen go for over $50.
