Lol, read the _whole_ of my last post:
** Snipped some **
>I figure that my HD is due for an upgrade next(got a lousy UDMA33 4GB
disk).
** Snipped some more**
And youre right defragging is a good thing, but EQ is on its own partitition
and I keep it very clean ;).
Further more I have a permanent swap disk of 500 MB (I want to try and go
without swapping at all now that I have 256 mem, W98 sucks at mem handling).
However I am pretty confident that the only thing that will really help me
is a new harddisk ;)
