I have helped two friends setup their Windows Vista desktops, one a Dell,
the other a HP, one had at 2gb and the other had 3 gb of RAM and a Dual
Core Processor with at least 4mg of Cache. They had the exact same
complaint. They had a replaced 4 and 5 year old computers, and could not
see any additional speed when opening their software.

Ditto's my experience. And it isn't under powered unless you want to
compare it to something not invented yet.

Q6600 Quad Processor @ 2.4GHz. Vista 64 bit, and 8GB or RAM. 2 SATA 500GB
drives that go like smoke with Linux. 3 year older XP machine, 2GB RAM, 2 x
160GB IDE drives is 4 times faster copying files, that is after Vista SP1,
which did improve not no slave the performance issues.

Hm, wish I could get a refund for the OS part of it. Would people buy cars
that get 5mpg on a promise if you spend more and in 2 years we can fix it?
