Peter,
	  I took what you said to heart, ripped out the RAM and borrowed some 
brand new RAM reserved for a Compaq PC and plonked it in.  After that, for 
one thing the machine didn't bat an eyelid doing an install from CD this 
time, and for another - it now seems to go twice as fast (opening windows 
and finding files, etc).  Looks like you were right - an actual RAM 
problem.  Thanks for the input.
