Vista on new box nightmarishly slow. Wednesday, May 23, 2007 at 6:12 pm Windows Vista Annoyances Discussion Forum Posted by Abram (381 messages posted) Hi. I'm in the process of setting up a new box @ home. It's brand new, nothing installed on it yet, though I'm working getting some printers installed now. I don't know if this is normal, but this machine is incredibly slow. It reminds me of the days of running 3.11 on an 386SX. I've turned off everything I can see that is optional, changed the background to a solid color, and set all the themes to 'classic.' Still so slow I can barely work. The box is a 3.0Ghz w/ 1GB of RAM. I'll be bumping up the later soon. Anyone have any other ideas? The only other Vista box I delt w/ is @ work. It's an older machine, is painfully slow, but not this bad. Thanks. Responses to this message: re: Vista on new box nightmarishly slow.
