Theres your problem! If you try and load XP on that PC it will also be very slow. Thanks for the answers but I think you all are missing the point. Perhaps I didn't word my question clearly enough. I am aware that this isn't

Are you all saying that the speed issue is likely only because it is and old PC and not because of some error? If so, why is 9.1 SO much slower than 9.0?
that you install if its a server don't use a GUI, Yast does run on the command line. I know. I have used it.
Yes........a non-GUI server, it might make using SUSE. XP MANDATES a MINIMUM of a 700Mhz. processor, 256MB of RAM and 40G hard drive (if I Perhaps but it runs fine on my son's 500 MHz computer.
Just to add here; try upgrading your ram to at least 256MB or 512MB This would not be cost effective. 72 pin memory is harder to find and expensive. I could buy a used but newer 866MHz for $100 with memory that is easier to find but no matter which I choose, I am going to be spending more money that I care to spend. SuSE 9.0 worked and if I have to, I will just go back to SuSE 9.0.
I am running suse9.1 SLE on 512 and another box with SUSe Pro 9,1 Pro with 1 gig of ram, Both PCs have 2.0 gig celerons. They are both faster than any Very nice. I wouldn't mind having something like that too. Why is it that we poke fun at Gates bloatware yet SuSE did the same with 9.1?
However if you can't do the upgrade then I would suggest that you manually Looks like I have to go back to 9.0
advantage is gained, put your swap file there and you will see a noticeable difference. This is interesting. I didn't know that. I will try it.
I started this because I had seen reports about the new kernel being much better and faster so I thought that it would improve what was getting with that computer. Are all those reports lies? Damon Register
