Why does my networked computer slaves run slow

[gus543]

we installed a new slave computer and it is having trouble opening windows up in a point of sales program on the master. It opens it but it take a long period of time for it to open the sales window. 2 computers are running in Windows 7 and the 3rd is running in xp. How can I speed up the slaves to operate at a faster speed.

Make sure the network isn't too slow. I wouldn't recommend this on anything slower than a 100Mbps network.

The HDD's on the primary need to be fast as well.

The primary in general needs to be fast (HDD, RAM, HDD's, Network)

Check for the slaves just being slow and optimize them.
