I have just upgraded my laptop from Pentium 3 1.13GHz (with Windows Me) to Athlon 1.4GHz (with Windows Xp) and noticed a vast decreased in
performance of P3 v3.0 compared to my older laptop running on older OS.
I have even tried P3 on a laptop with Pentium 4 1.5GHz (with Windows Xp) and found similar degradation in performance. Has anyone experience this?
Could it be that the newer OS (Windows Xp) contributed to the poor
performance of P3?
Upon increasing the RAM memory to 384MB, I found only a "very slight"
improvement in speed BUT still slower compared to my earlier laptop. You can easily notice the slow performance by running a "Global Change" on a 1300+ activities schedule. Even launching P3 application and opening project file are sloooow!
I am contemplating to "downgrade" the OS to Windows 98 instead of using the factory default Windows Xp OS. Is this a good idea? Do you think this will improve the performance of P3?
Looking forward to hear some comments from any P3 users running on
Windows Xp.
Best regards,
CS Ong
