I'm afraid win98 runs a lot faster on the same system. I sometimes actually 
get the idea IE runs faster on my dad's p133/32MB compared to konqueror on my 
p2-300/64MB :(

Define working without any problems, I get the idea that taking a cup of 
coffee doesn't bother you if apps are being slow. This way I state as well 
kde is very useable :) (ok, taking a sip of your coffee)
