RAM (and Speed)

[russell cook]

I get 1min 28 secs including the GDM login process before Ubuntu is
completely booted. This included the clicking on Nautilus home icon and
having it come up  on the screen. I can't try windows on this machine as
I never loaded it :-)

PC is Athlon 3200+ with 1GB RAM a 20GB  hdd and a 200GB hdd.
