Hello... I'm running windows xp on a P3 machine - it's been getting slower and slower to the point where I can see the displays slowly display - everything takes forever to open. This was not a proplem before. I've downloaded the latest IE patches, etc. Do I have a memory leak problem or should I just buy a Mac and say adios to windows? Thanks all... Joh
