1-Turn of system restore:
Start>>Right-click My Computer>>Properties>> System Restore Tab. Check the "Turn off System Restore" checkbox.

2-Turn off all animation and screen effects.
This can be done via the display properties and on the Advanced Tab in the system properties dialog box that you were in for #1.

3-Turn off indexing by Start>>My Computer>>right-click on C:\ and choose Properties. Uncheck index this drive. Click Ignore All when message box comes up. This will make searches for files take a little longer.

In addition to Lizzie's comment, I am a firm believer in using 512MB RAM and 550Mhz PIII as the minimum for XP Pro on a network. More is better.
Will these run on a Windows network or NetWare or both?

These workstations will be on both Netware 5.0 and Microsoft 2000 servers
