Hey is this normal? Im working on a WU and to get to 50% it takes 5hr 45 mins. I have a P4 and 512 Ram and I am constantly using the computer. Is this becasue I am always using it that it is slow?

Thanks for the advice. I use diskeeper and ad-adware and spybot. I also use seti@home in the background. Ill try defragging and see what happens.

Interesting - thanx for the info re different O/S's!!
Yes, DK is extremely good - very fast compared to the defragger that comes with WinXP!! Thanx for the "gen" on Pest Control as well - I've heard of it but haven't tried it. I use Tweak XP Pro, Smart Cleaner, Easy Cleaner and Internet Sweeper for main cleaning purposes (there is some duplication of resources!!) but each has it's merits.
I also run Lavasoft Adaware, as it is very easy to configure, is updated regulary (it seems almost daily at times!) and it sure does find data miners and the like.
I'll go check out Pest Patrol, however, and consider...
Cheers who!!

It will be a very long time before I can assemble a 64bit machine + OS + apps anyway so it is merely an academic interest for me.
