I often have at least five programs open (Firefox, Kmail, amaroK, Kopete, and F-Spot), and this 1.2 gHz AMD Duron machine, even with 1GB of RAM, is dead-slow. Programs take forever to open, webpages take forever to load.
I was recently thinking about upgrading to a cor duo, but decided not to as my current p42.8 with a gig of ram is fast enough once things are loaded. I did some experiments and as far as I can tell the loading speed is a disk IO issue, if I upgraded the cpu the disks will still be the bottle neck. -- Rob
