KDE/GNome are pretty heavy, and closer compared to say Win2k or WinXP rather than win98. If you want something that compares to win98, look at a Linux release from that same era. A new video card probably won't help much, especially if you don't do much in 3d. -- Jesse Keating For Web Services and Linux Consulting, Visit --> j2Solutions.net Mondo DevTeam (www.mondorescue.org) Was I helpful?
