Hi Mark,

I am currently running NTS4 on a DX4-100, 80mb RAM with RAS and Turnpike
3.03 also Exchange server and Internet Information server 2 (IIS2) all
services are running and there are three PC's on the network (no great
load from these), Pagefile settings c:\=100mb d:\=100mb Total: 200mb
Recommended size: 91mb, Initial size:100mb, Max size: 100mb for both C+D
drives 1gb and 2gb respectively.

This setup during D/L in Turnpike gives the following resource usage:

CPU Usage:  30%/50%
MEM Usage:  107728k  (107728k of 275288k With slight fluctuation )

Physical Memory
Total:          81332k
Available:      29000k (With slight fluctuation) 

Handles:        5674
Threads:        315
Processes:      26


Conclusion: your systen is sha**ed, if a DX4 can run NTServer and other
Server apps on 80mb your P133 should easily run Ras and Turnpike on 96mb

What Mem Usage figure is showing in the bottom R/Hand corner of the Task
Panel?
Are you running any other programs?
Have you installed any service packs?

For now I can only suggest you try putting your pagefile settings higher
but that will not help with your CPU problem, try giving further details
on your system and software.

Let me know how you get on,
