[ubuntu-in] Edgy too slow on new computer

[Usha]

Hi,
I am not very familiar with gnu/linux. But, I used to run an earlier
version of ubuntu and i was happy with it.

Recenlty, I bought a new computer (SATA hard disk, AMD-64 bit, My main
board is ASUS A8-VM).

On this system I installed the new ubuntu edgy (32 bit). I had no
problems during the installation. But now, everything is really slow
and it takes minutes to scroll up a page.  Assuming the problem could
be with GNOME, I tried running KDE and found that it was still slow.

Please Help!
Thanks!!
