Last weekend

My ole' buddy Ken came over with a computer he got for free. It was an old dell white lil thing. I started it up and it seemed like it took forever.... got the windows 98 blocky looking loading screen(seriously was that graphic produced for a 9" monitor or what) anyway.... it loads up and bam! the GUI is super responsive...snappy even.. It is a P3 with...get this 64 MB of ram and it is just quick. I remember moving to OS X and feeling the ...well not slowdown but lack of responsiveness that I was used to in the Mac OS. Actually it was a slowdown until 10.2 appeared and offloaded the eye candy to the video card. It is the same with XP and especially Vista. I don't like to think I need a super big a$$ 512 MB video card to make the pretty bloated OS seem less sluggish. But I guess I do...
