hey! i have a computer at the school i work at that is really really slow...
the pc itself is a 300mhz cyrix II processor with 160mb ram running win98.

The computer seems to get through cmos at normal speed but takes ages to
boot into windows and then is really slow using it. This is also the case in
safe mode. I've scanned for viruses to no avail... was wondering if it could
be the hard-drive access that was the problem?? (2gig IDE.)

Any ideas at all? I'm a bit stumped.
