What Bob says is very true -- Definitely utilize the Hyper-Threading option 
for running your TS4 Server --

If you haven't already applied tweaks to XP, here's the link --  Highly 
recommended as a result of personal experience with many XP computers, but 
some here will still disagree--

Barry,

You did not specifically mention it, but with the 800 MHz FSB you should
definitely be able to enable HyperThreading and set the CPU Affinity to run
the TS4 Server program on a second (virtual) CPU.  Are you running in this
mode?  I have a program that I made to Auto-set the CPU Affinity on TS4
Server start-up and it runs fine on a normal dual-cpu system but since I
don't have a HT system I have never debugged it for HT.  Ron Augustine is,
or at least was, running this program on his 2.8 GHz HT PC and said it
worked fine on initial TS4 Server starts but did have a bug on any TS4
Server re-starts.  If you want this program or any help I will be happy to
provide it.
