I have notcied that my machine gets rather slow and sometimes freezes and unresposive when I start work on it, I only have 15 windows open, And none of the applcations I have are extreamlly Resouce intensive (Im now running VMware, but its the same before using this too)..

I am using 2.48 GB (1 gb is a virtual machine) out of 4GB, 64x vista, 9550 Quad CPU (20-30% use) ... And explorer seems to be slow, changing windows can cause music to stop, takes awhile to load the new windows and such.. Is this normal.. I am not running out of hardware for this type of thing..

Anything I can do to improve the speed.

On a better note, Im upgrading to Win 7 Pro soon

What sort of state are your hard drives in?

They're the thing that tends to lead to severely degraded system performance.

Have you tried allocating more memory to the VM to see if that helps?

Do you see a lot of disk activity (maybe from the blinking hd light on your pc) when it's slow? If that's the case, it's possible that the system is relying too much on the page file (due to insufficient memory), or the page file is too small so it needs to be dynamically resized frequently.
