All, I have been running on FC6 on a AMD Dual Core laptop (1GB RAM) with nvidia chipset with SATA drive with 64 bit Kernel. I have also running FC6 on a Intel P4 desktop (1GB RAM). The issue is that i think the laptop performance is much slower than the desktop because application(s) take a little longer to open on the laptop and the vmware (same image) runs much faster on desktop than the laptop. I was expecting the laptop to run faster as it is dual core machine. Wondering where to look for any clues. Thanks Srikanth
