I would like to know if of the people owning Dual Cores use P2P Software.

A friend has a XP1000+ 1GB Ram
I have Sempron2600+ 1GB Ram

While our system manager reports 200MB Ram & 5-15% CPU usage our computers are really really sluggish.
Specially his, winrar takes like 10 secs to start launching.

I would like to know if other people using P2P software have this issue.

But above all, if they have real experience with DualCore & P2P.

Have you noticed a drastically improved reaction time with DualCores ?


Thanks in advance.

could just be you have slow harddrive or they need defragmenting.

try doing a defrag by right clicking mycomputer > manage > disk defragmenter

if that dosent help its proberly your harddrive is just slow, as neither of those systems seems particularly new... (althought the sempron might be.)

Dual core improved the speed while playing when using p2p.
