❑ The system response time varies, depending on the number of applications that are open and running.
Close any application that you are not currently using.
❑ Increasing the system memory may also help. The computer has two memory slots. For memory
upgrades, use only PC-2700 DDR333 SDRAM or PC-2100 DDR266 SDRAM DIMM modules, depending on
your model. For information on installing memory, please see the section Upgrading memory
(page 83).
❑ Another option is to defragment the hard drive. See the Windows

Help files for details or contact your
system administrator if you have one.
