                I agree with you, but KDE needs more work IMHO to be
more optimized in resources consumpiton, as my personal experience with
it I found that it puts a heavy load in my 166 MMX with 32 RAM, when I
upgrade to 64 thing went better. This should be improved.

                    What could be ofo interest of win9x user is the
stability of this desktops, but still they must be optimized to work in
machines with less resources.
