    Ran the program to calculate pi to 2 million digits.
    Power4Gear was set at "High Performance".

    Results as follows:

    A/C power : 1m 28s
    Battery : 1m 28s

    Do the numbers look okay?

    Hi Joyce, I notice you had a DDR2 (533) 1.5gb RAM, Is it much more faster? Because I have a W5F 512mb Ram and I was thinking about upgrading it to a 1.5gb ram.

    upgrading the ram is probably the most perforance increase you can get. Windows will run very smoothly. apps open faster.
