Over the past couple of years I"ve had 6 Win98 computers, and all of them take a long time to load pages...some to the point where I had to reboot the computer because they took so long/wouldn't respond.
Hardware has been everything from a 400 MHz PII to a 1.8 GHz P4 with 512 mb of ram; makes no difference, it always runs slow no matter what machine. The machine I"m typing on now has a 500 MHz K7 Athlon/384 mb ram...runs so slow I have to wait for the text to keep up, and I have to hit the red x button next to refresh or else it will just load forever.
No viruses or malware...many of these have been fresh installs, and I use Clamwin regularly. It's not the internet speed either. What do you think it is?
And no, I"m not going to run 98 in a VM, I never liked those (part of the allure for me is the old hardware).
Thanks for any help you can give
