Here at work my computer sucks A**. Its a Gateway P166, non MMX with 128 megs of ram, two crappy video cards, and about 6 gigs of HD space. Anyway, my problem is that when I have winamp going the whole system slows to a crawl. Unfortunately, since I'm a summer hire/intern, company policy dictates that I can't get a new computer. So, I have an opportunity to get a 166MMX system, easily upgradeable to a 233MMX. I can put in even more ram, probably 160 meg, still keep dual monitors, etc. My question is, will there be a noticeable improvement in performance? I'm not going to bother to swap if I'm not going to see some difference. All I need the system to do i perform reasonably well with winamp running, meaning that I can surf the net, run AIM, run Lotus Notes, and WinMX. Thanks
