Hi,
I tried running Fedora 11, with it being only operating system installed, and it was too slow for everything. The message boxes, applications, games, etc... everything.. took a great time to load.

It was installed on Ext4 file system. Is my computer not capable of handling that?
Right now, I run Fedora 10 and there is not any slow down issue.
Please suggest.

Is the *system* slow, or only the display? Fedora does not use the vendor drivers for video, but rather the Xorg drivers which for some hardware may update at a rate only slightly faster that chiseling on stone tablets.

If you installed optional drivers on F10, that why it works at normal speed, F11 uses a version of the kernel for which vendor drivers are not available (as of the last time I looked).

Other than being really slow and locking up on some display hardware, the new drivers are fine.

Obviously you may have other issue holding your system back, F11 runs very well on my two Athlon machines, I don't use graphics much on those machines.
