Sometimes I'll turn on my IBM laptop T-22 and while I wait for it to come on, I do a newspaper cross-word puzzle...isn't that same as "multi-tasking"?..my A-1200 with Blizzard Turbo 1260 is WAY faster than that!

Only if you think that your computer is actually doing anything in that time.

Maybe I have a lousy config, but my A1200 with Blizzard 1260 takes quite a while to boot up. Not that I complain about it: it's part of the fun of using a classic machine.

T22... isn't that a 1gig P3? or is that a T20... trying to remember... best to max out the ram and have winXP on there. going from 256Mb to 512Mb is like breathing new life into a machine running XP :-) also, bear in mind that win2k/XP are much more... hrmm.. heavy weight operating systems! :lol:

put it in standby
also, 'clean' and defragment the hdd (esp. the virtual ram)
uninstall all resident crap

My A4000/060 50Mhz with OS3.9 is a lot faster on cold boot than my AMD Sempron 1,6Ghz with XP, when I start them up at the same time :-)
