Yep, a couple of Dells is where I had problems too.

My daughter's Wallstreet has a 14" screen.  It works fine, but she had 
been using OpenOffice in it (which was rather slow and clunky) so we 
bought her Office X for Christmas.  Office X is a dramatic improvement 
over OO, but if it had more RAM it would run much better.

Thanks for the info! I'm going to try that :-)
