The more cpu you have, the better. The demands of Powerpoint (Office 97
version) push my 166 mhz cpu (TP760XL).
To use or have available for use *all* the offered graphics in Powerpoint
will require a stronger cpu - or tolerance for a longer wait for the next
slide to display.
I consciously tone down slide presentations, and for my purposes, that is
more than Ok. I know the TPXL's eccentricities and am always loath to change
a presentation machine.
