That's only slightly older hardware than I'm running for my main machine. I wouldn't expect it to be sluggish. The only times I've really seen performance problems was when I compiled a kernel and forgot to include the IDE chipset support, so the disk access times and cpu usage were horrible during disk activity. I was even running for a while with a basic frame buffer driver for video, without even any acceleration and I didn't noticed any sluggishness. --- Dazed_75 wrote: > I loaded 10.1 on a machine just to take a quick look and was dismayed by > its > lagginess.
