Well, even though I haven't tried it yet, it HAS to be faster booting than
my Toshiba 200CDS. (100MHz Pentium, 8 MB RAM, Win 95OSR2). It takes 15-20
minutes to boot, and with absolutely NOTHING running but Explorer and IE,
89% of all system resources are used. It's the worst computer I ever owned,
and make more use of the 386-20 IBM PS/2 L40sx laptop w/ 6 MB RAM. And, I
may add it only takes 1.34 minutes to boot (Win '95 OSR2) - yes, I timed it.
Only problem is that the keyboard quit. Anyone have a replacement? I don't
really feel like paying $90 for one from IBM.
Happy Holidaze,

A _little_? How many minutes does it take to boot? I
have tried booting a
486sx/20 with 4 MB RAM from a premade Win95 setup, and it took a looong
time! I started and finished a major meal and it still wasn't done.
my girlfriend runs Win95 on a 386/20 Dell laptop.
a little slow, but
actually
not that bad. oh, 4M of ram. the slowest thing
is printing.
