Hi thanks for the reply.

You correct, Ricardo. I have a 3Ghz Intel P4 and 4 GB ram running at 400mhz·

I have tried virtual box and it is very slow - unusable.

I have also tried various other distros and its the same. Just soo slow....

I installed XP on a test drive and the performance is normal, so it does work in Windows but not in Linux.

EDIT:: I mean its slower in Linux.
