Microsoft Money Plus Performance
I had no problems with Microsoft Money Plus performance as long as I had the browser settings (Tools >> Settings >> Browser Settings) set to browse the Internet from within Money Plus. Your experience with Microsoft Money Plus performance will depend on what processes are running at the same time, your video card and RAM.Microsoft Money Plus system requirements call for a minimum of 1 GB of RAM and 32 MB of graphics memory. Money will run very slowly on this set up. Advertisements are liberally sprinkled throughout Money Plus, which may contribute to slow response times for PCs that are only running minimal required resources
