    Just a thought but have you used a PC running Vista recently?


    A PC running Vista needs 2GB of RAM to run at the same speed as a PC running XP on 1GB or RAM.

    And....... unless you have at least a 3.0 with 2GB of RAM I would stick to XP really.

    you get pretty much same functionality out of 8bit atari 800 with its 128k GEMS cart, just faster these days than the old national semiconductor 6502... but same stuff....

    ran my first BBS system on very similar setup on a hand built 300baud modem.
