Thanks for your reply(s). This was a clean NT 4 install. I have not
gone through and removed any unused services yet. I am not totally
sure which ones I need or do not need yet. Would having pagefile.sys
on a separate partition help much? And is there that big of a
difference in NTFS vs. FAT performance?

Well, I got a 760E with 40 M RAM running it fine and dandy.. runs
even faster now than my desktop 90mhz (the desktop wins under 95, but
the TP smokes on NT4!!)
Somebody had posted the right way to get NT loaded on here, and then
it was just a matter of reloading all the IBM stuff.. Your problem
might be that (and this does sound like something that Redmond would
do) NT 4 works better if you use NTFS, rather than FAT. And, did you
do the install from a clean drive? I tried to get it to work nice
from 95, until I heard about how screwed up it could get, resulting
from the Registry differences. I ended up just throwing it on a clean
drive.
