On my machine ...
CPU: AMD Athlon XP 2000+ 1.2GHz
RAM: 1GB PC2700
Mobo: PC-Chips
Chipset: SiS
GPU: 8x AGP Nvidia Geforce FX 5600 w/256MB DDR-RAM
BIOS: Pheonix
HDD: IDE 160GB Maxtor
NIC: Realtek 10/100 Ethernet
Sound: PCI Sound Blaster Live 24-Bit

I get poor performance during file copies, file downloads, updates, or
anything that requires a lot of disk activity.  SMART reports the disk
is healthy, and scans using disk tools from those LiveCDs loaded with
system tools find no problems.

Is Ubuntu 10.04 with Compiz Fusion active too heavy for my current
system?  I require Compiz Fusion for the enhanced desktop zoom which I
use due to my visual disability.
