I have a Athlon 1.2 GHz 512 MB and it is not slow on FC5, though I'm not running the same mix as you are. I think possibly something is not right on your system. Does top show a high load, or indicate that the system is swapping? Perhaps the disks are fragmented -- EXT2/3 data structures don't suffer much from fragmentation, but the file data does.

Googling the subject makes me beleive that this is not the case in general with Linux. Dotan Cohen http://auto-car.info/ http://english-lyrics.com/
