    Any ideas?

    My cousin's husband's mother got a new machine. I got the old one and my old hardware back.

    It is an HP 7125 with a P133. The only things I have added to it are 128MB of ram, a 2.3 GB hard drive and a 4 GB hard drive. The problem is that after installing 95B, it is very sluggish. Mouse and keyboard response is delayed 5 to 10 seconds. It has a logitech three button mouse if that matters. Any ideas?

    ...what do you want to do with it?

    It probably has an HP proprietary mobo and other stuff too. Could be HP has bios and other updates on their site.
    How can you possibly take anything seriously?
    Who cares?

      Anyone got any ideas why the delay in keyboard response happens?

        Could be a couple of things. How do interrupts look? What is your CPU usage like? What if you boot without the mouse? Have you reset the BIOS to defaults?

          have you tried removing some of the ram? are the harddrives good? was it a clean install of Windows onto a clean hard drive?

            The ram and hard drives are good. The ram worked in the P90 I had. The hard ddrives worked my Athlon 600 on the same channel with no problem.

            IRQs:
            00 System Timer
            01 Standard 101/102-Key or Microsoft Natural Keyboard
            02 Programmable Interrupt Controller
            03 Communications Port (COM2)
            04 Communications Port (COM1)
            05 CS 4232
            06 Standard Floppy Dsik Controller
            07 ECP Printer Port (LPT1)
            08 System CMOS/real time clock
            09 CS4232
            11 NE2000 Compatable
            12 Standard PS/2 Port Mpuse
            13 Numeric Data Processor
            14 SIS 5513 Dual PCI IDE Controller
            14 Primary IDE controller (dual fifo)
            15 SIS 5513 Dual PCI IDE Controller
            15 Secondary IDE controller (duak fifo)

            This does not happen before the machine gets to Windows.

            I tried switching ram but it was no help.

            Edit:
            I tried removing the 4gig hard drive and just use the 2.3 GB.
            I tried dropping to 4 16 MB simms and also just two 32MB simms.
            I tried FDISK/MBR on the boot drive as it use to have UNIX on it. It had no effect.

            CPU usage is normal.
