Yeah, I know there's the page file, but doesn't it have to use the hard
drive and doesn't it slow the computer down to use the page file? By the
way, I just installed a spare 256MB module into it, and the bootup time was
cut in half... for now. I notice quick startups the first few times, but
then computers just seem to get sluggish again. Anyway, for now, it seems
to be faster. P.S. I have noticed the memory prices have gone up.
