Software
Some programs require you to modify the way
the computer operates to ensure compatibility.

Some older applications cannot execute
at the higher speeds available with the
computer. If the user’s manual for the
program indicates a maximum
processing speed, you can use the

to the
required speed. You can include it as
part of a batch file that runs the
program.

This is sufficient to run most software.
For improved operation, you may want
to install additional

Chapter 4 for information on upgrading
your memory).
