Hello,

I am new user to XP. One crucial DOS software that worked well under
Win98 on a P2 also works under XP P4 albeit about ten times slower. The
program is used to lay out PC boards and the slowdown comes when complex
shapes (copper pour) on different layers are required to be filled in. I knew
that there would be some penalty due to emulation but I thought that it would
be made up for by faster processor and graphics card. Apparently not, or am
I doing something wrong? BTW the DOS program is called PCB386+ from Orcad,
now Cadence.
