Either way. During install you can choose to have both versions on
the same computer. Money will offer to uninstall the old version
(default). Pay attention and decline that.

Unlikely. New software seldom runs faster. They add features and
graphics and whatnot.

Both versions will run faster on a faster PC.

Default upgrading from M03 to M06 - any advice before starting?

I bought Money '06 today because it was a deal available when purchasing Tax
software. Money '03 has been working fine for me, except with a 24 Mb file
size it is sometimes a bit sluggish.

I also have built a new PC, but have not transferred everything from the old
one.

Would it be better to install on the old PC (Athlon AMD at 1.67 GHz, 512 Mb)
and test drive it or just wait and install on the new one (Athlon AMD 64,
2.21 GHz, 512 Mb)?

Will I see amy performance increase from '03 to '06? What about when I am
on the new PC?

Thanks,

Mark
