Hi Colin ... in my opinion, Outlook 2007 is definitely slower than 2003 ... I downloaded a patch from Microsoft that fixes a few things ... one of them being performance ... and it did help some, so you might want to try it ... can't hurt. But, bottom line is you need about 2 gig of ram for the Office 2007 programs to perform half decently (and I emphasize "half" ... so far, I am not impressed). But, here's the patch, if you are interested: http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/details.aspx?familyid=C262BCFD-1E09-49B6- 9003-C4C47539DF66&displaylang=en or the shorter version if that one doesn't work for you: http://tinyurl.com/2b9j7s ******************************* Linda F.
