I've been reading the debate on the advisability of upgrading to TP
6.0. I've been thinking about it but would like some more advice.
Specifically, is my current system under-powered? I am still
struggling along with a Compaq I (4.77 MHz 8088), with 640k RAM, two
360k floppies, 20mb HardCard and a serial port, clock etc. TP5.5 has
been doing quite nicely on it (oh yes, there's an 8087 too).
However, when I upgraded to WordPerfect 5.1 from 5.0 the
performance really degraded (WP5.0 wasn't too bad). Am I going to
have the same experience with TP6.0? Am I going to run out of memory
too easily since I don't have EMS?
Any advice or comments will be appreciated--maybe I'll just have
to start saving my pennies & go to a hardware upgrade...
