Since you say minimums are met, your performance should not seem slower. I would wonder more if the OS has been optimized? Do you know what video card you have and what driver? Most open source drivers I would think are capable of OK 2D acceleration.
Maybe I am wrong here and someone else would like to step in?

The internal mike doesn't seem loud enough. Hopefully I can bypass that and use an external. There is a problem with the video and would like some advice. The speed of the video lags behind to the actual movements. Is this a problem with web cams or do I need a better processor. The minimum requirement is 2.4 gig, and is what I have. Would another web cam help?
