- I have a 386sx with 4 megs of memory and a slow Trident svga card.
- Windows is PAINFULLY slow most of the time.
-
- If I spend the $250-300 for a speedy Stealth-type card, how much of a
- real-world speedup should I expect? Will Windows run noticibly faster or
- will just screen intensive tasks go quicker?
-
- Anyone running a similar setup to mine who has had a similar experience
- please respond.
-
- Thanks
