Somewhat. What do you do with your machine ?

Yes, a lot but this may alos be down to better peripherrals, faster RAM,
more RAM etc...

Go for it. Windows makes it simple these days. WfWg, '95 and NT all have
good networks but WfWg suggers a lot of the pathetic 3.1x resource
limitations, '95 is liked by its advocates ( count me out ) and NT is
resource hungry though other wise the biz.
