I've watched programs like GIMP and Inkscape crawl to a near stop when editing very complex images on my 2Ghz 512MB RAM laptop. I also feel firefox become a little laggy when I've got a couple of tabs open that have a lot of flash stuff going on on them. I guess your computing experience is going to depend on exactly what you use your computer for ;-) Chris -- ubuntu-uk@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-uk https://wiki.kubuntu.org/UKTeam/
