http://www.cpuid.com/clockgen.php Take a look at this site. Has a small
overclocking program(freeware) You need to know your motherboard, chip etc
to select the proper download for your computer. Has for Pentium and AMD
chips Works not bad. I would recommend you boost in small degrees as it
locked up my P4 when I went too high to fast. It resets to normal on
restart however so no harm done. Watch you temp levels also. Hope this
helps.

Yes, it's called Linux. You install it instead
of Windows XP. Reverting to Windows 98/95 has
a similar effect. ;-)

Seriously though, RAM is soo cheap now it really
pays to have at least 256-512MB.

Yup I have both linux, winnt ,and 256 for my graphics computer, but
sometimes it just seems my processer is asleep.

I'm going to update the ram when I can, was hoping for a minifix in the
meantime.

Thanks all for the responses!

I use Linux and Win98SE. When Windows starts playing up,
I simply reinstall over itself. If not fixed, I do a
clean install. It is sooo much snappier with a clean install.

Things you can do to make more snappy, is to make the min
and max size of your virtual memory to a large size. Cacheman
is a good tool to do this, and it can recover memory from
apps that have exited but left dlls loaded.

I am not sure if it works on NT, but works on 9x/ME/2K/XP.

There are a lot of RAM managers and so on but, they are just a
temporary fix. The biggest culprits are the programs that insist on
loading themselves into the Systray and memory. Just cleaning out your
Systray can have remarkable results. A simple startup manager is all
it takes to get back a lot of performance. Here is one called Starter:
