Slow startup

[christopher]

Hi, thanx for having a look...

I've got a good computer(dell 8200 dimension,
CPU=1600Mhz, 126Mb of memory, GeForce II 64Mb, windows
XP) and at startup my computer is pritty slow I've got
ZoneAlarm, Notron Anti virus and office sortcut bar,
starting at startup. What can I do. Would buying a new
Hard Disc (120 GB, 7200rpm) change anything to that? Or
buying new memory(so that tot=512 Mb) would that increas
the pc's speed??

Thanx anyway, please tell anything you know about this.

Hi Christopher,

More ram might help, 128 is sort of minimal for an XP installation. =
Check the startup group for other delays as well, you may have more =
loading at boot than you think (start/run msconfig).
