Other listers mentioned the need to try Glance and other tools to pin
down your performance problems, and that is good advice.  Nonetheless,
I would put money down that you have a need for additional memory.  I
would start with 128Mb (or as close as you can get with your combination
of boards) and go from there. We have customers running our software
on 935 systems with similar user counts and we have found the 128Mb to
be a minimum. You might also consider upgrading the 935 to a 949 if
the boardset can be found inexpensively on the used market. Just my
proverbial $.02
