That's a good point, Sidebyte.
I have two desktops, one of which has a core 2 duo E6600 CPU and 4GB RAM. The system performed really well for me with Vista.
I did an upgrade with Windows 7, and for 6 months it performed like a dog. Sometimes I had to wait seconds to see characters I typed in a document. 2 weeks ago, I bit the bullet and did a clean install of Windows 7, then re-installed ALL the software and data I had before I wiped it.
I have to say the performance now is even faster than it ever was with Vista, which leaves me to believe that there were either background processes or old drivers left over from the upgrade that were interfereing with how the system should perform.
One of my laptops has 1.5GB of RAM, and even that PC is pretty snappy once it boots.
