Is Win 98 normally faster than XT Pro? The below system is way
faster than five newer store loaded 2.5 gigahertz and faster machines
with XT Pro. Even removing their McAfee and Norton, they still take
about three minutes to load, where the Win 98 will boot and load any
program I have in less that fifteen seconds.
