I finally got this thing hooked to the net, and am downloading some
programs.
My question is: Are notebooks extremely slow? I swear I can watch my
toenails grow while this does anything.
It is a PII. The wireless network is running at 54 something or other.
Advertizing said it does 108, but they lie

54 is actually *plenty* fast for good file transfer and more than fast
enough for good internet performance, so I'm thinking it must be the laptop
itself that is running slow.
Now, if you're used to using a much faster pc, that could be what's going
on. I used a PIII 733 mHz for 6 years and was quite happy with the speed
until I got my new Pentium D 820
2.8 GHz. Now, when I go back to my old pc, it seems as slow as molasses.
One other issue could be the amount of RAM installed. Notebooks of that era
did not have a lot of RAM. How much does it have?
Another issue could be that it needs a defrag. Try that and see it if
helps. I'm betting a defrag and some additional RAM would make a noticeable
difference.
Of course, you're gonna have to start wearing Martha down now if you need to
get more RAM.
