I just installed MS vista. I like the fetures but when i'm the browser I
have noticed that the system is extremly slow. In some cases its
unberiable. I'm ready to uninstall the application it runs so slow.

Just need some ideas on what I can do to config the OS so that the speed is
beriable.

SP1 will improve speed.. its going to be out for the masses in a few weeks,
the final version is available for some selected people now.. but you can
probably find it floating on the internet if you know your way around and
are careful

You can try turning off the spell checker. It could be eating up resources
and slowing down your computer. OH wait. Sorry, I take that back! You
aren't using a spellchecker. I'm sure Frankie Boy, the Usenet Village Idiot
will drop by shortly with an answer to your problem. He uses a
spellchecker, but his doesn't slow down his system as it only has 44 words
in its dictionary.

Cheers.

few things to note down:

2 gigabytes of ram is almost necessary.

Bad performance on Pentium 4's / Centrinos / Athlon64.

Perhaps Vista is still indexing your HDD. If should improve over a few
days of use.
