When I had windows ME, the best I could do was 92%.   I also had 512 mb ram.
www.overclockers.com, under forums, and operating systems, has several
interesting links where you can find assorted tweaks for ME.

Unfortunately, ME is an overbloated fetid OS; it is begging to be put out of
it's misery.  My advice is to upgrade to Windows XP Professional.  It is a
wonderful system; lean and mean.

Good luck.
