Yep as said that is about right for dial up, you may want to go to the MS site and order a SP2 CD so she doesn't have to do that again though lol

The install does take a while since it is a large number of patches and changes that occur, if the PC hasn't been kept totally up to date with all the updates that have been released then it would have taken a while for it all to have been installed
