Lasereth is absolutely right in the matter. I've found that my computer here at work (PIII 600) Compaq with my work's own build of Win2k and, outside of security and startup scripts starts up just as fast as my custom-built (P4 2.4) at home. If you don't use a PC for gaming, and you have a fresh install of XP or 2k of your own, then having a computer that exceeds 500 Mhz is almost absolute overkill.

My dad's PC, a 1.4 Gateway suffered from the exact same crap that we've been talking about. An absolute infestation of spywarez and other various forms of bloat can make a 3.2 HT feel like you're going about 500 Mhz or less. Storebought computers are notorious for being incredibly filled with shit.
