By intergrated video i assume you mean onboard video? if so then its sharing the system ram, therefore not using the whole 64mb ram, you can check this by hitting del key when the puter first starts to go into bios, then look try and find shared video memory or sometihng like that. If its something over 2mb then thats probably most likely why its running so slow because its hogging all the system memory. Either that or get some more ram, its dirt cheap right now. -- copyright 2001 Itsme's brain ;) want to earn easy cash now? http://www.emailcash.com.au/join.asp?refer=D14227 "Barry Ward" <baz@powerup.com.au> wrote in message news:3b23c859@grissom... > A friend of mine has recently bought his first computer -- a Celeron 667 on > a Micro ATX board with integrated video and sound and only 64 meg RAM.
