I did a clean install on a brand new hard drive that I had gotten.  I
had been using a different hard drive with the same ram on hoary without
any problems at all.  So the only thing that changed physically was the
hard drive.

I had used fluxbox on the previous set up and didnt really like it too
much.  Is there something that is more similar to gnome that I could try
easily to see if I like it?  I am still a noob in most things so any
documentation and/or steps to install would help.  

 I would like to add that this isnt killing my machine, its just
noticibly slower than with hoary and I would like to find out why.
Thanks,
