Are gnucash and microsoft train simulator really that huge? I don't use either of them, and I've been happy enough still with Ladle II, which is a 733MHz processor. It runs Matlab happily enough for me (and Quicken, which I suppose is gnucash's twin, for windows). (Where Ladle II fails is in the video card, which is hardwired into the motherboard, suck.) I mean, Cherry, my new 2.6Ghz machine is definitely faster than ladleII, but the programs I use don't make me chafe at ladleII's speed, really.
How much ram does watertown have? Can you improve the performance by adding ram? (Being a computer geek, you probably have considered this already. I'm just curious.)
It's distressing to me as well that a 4 year old machine is Just Too Slow. It just seems wrong somehow.
