Just testing my old machine…

Hmm, a 233MMX with 64MB RAM and an 8MB video card…yeah, slower than my 600 with 128MB RAM and a 32MB video card, but no problems here…

You call _that_ slow? I’m using a 233MMX with 40 megs RAM and only 4 MB on video card. Oh well, doesn’t matter when you have 6 gig hard drive. 🙂
