I spoke to a sysop at a shop that runs NT 3.51 on their work stations, normally with 32 MB, and he said that the performance increase should be noticeable but not enough to justify the cost and that a new box was a better way to go. As an aside, with 24 MB the 701 performs better with NT 4.0 than with Win95. It's more responsive although it does take longer to load and does not have some of features that 95 has that are useful for a notebook. >> The problem that I notice with NT 4.0 that I have on my server here is that it eats free memory away fast. Although my server has been on something like 72 hours now, CPU use is 97-100% and everything is slow. There is also no APM support. I was thinking of getting a copy for my 701 from a friend at MS, but figured that it would be a waste of time, because using it would be a waste of time. Paul Khoury
