ptek: A 2600Ghz CPU, 1Gb ram and it's slow ?!
Beta builds usually are, as they have debugging enabled. I remember when Win2K public builds came out, they were very slow, and people were complaining left and right. Then, Win2K final came out, and... WOW, was it fast.
Previous builds do
seem faster then this public release tho. There are also some programs that no longer run (like NOD32) and that now cripple the OS (try Guildwars ans say hello to Vista dying, well it did here). IMHO, this build should have stayed internal, not a public release.. Or they should have released 5365 or even 5342 to the public.
But now that this build has been running for a whole night and having defragged the HD it feels a bit faster. I might get rid of the sidebar tho, seems rather useless now, and likes to take a bit to much CPU time.. (using the monitoring gadget that comes with it..)
I personally prefer how the explorer of vista works over the one used in 2000/XP.
