Also, if you have them, more detailed specs would help. Computer sompanies tend to reduce costs on cheaper boxes with things that a layman wouldn't notice. For example, Celeron chips make the Ghz but have crummy L1 and L2 caches, for terrible performance. Another good example is hard drives, for example one of the WD Raptor drives is ~37 gigs but is considered much better than many >100 gig drives due to its much higher rpms. I don't know if your hardware is like that, but it could be.
