So I bought a brand new Toshiba P105 laptop with Windows Vista installed.? It has a Dual Core Intel 1.6Ghz processor, 120GB hard drive, and 1GB of ram.? One would think that this would be a pretty powerful notebook.? When I first broke the seal on the case and fired this thing up - of course I had to go through the ubiquitous first time Windows (Vista) setup.? I know it couldn’t have been my hardware, but it took some 30 minutes+ for Vista to setup and run for the first time.? It was crazy.? I know that the hard drive had a main partition, and a very small recovery partition - and it was almost like it was loading and installing the main part from the recovery part for fresh install or something.? I was glad once it finally installed and prompted me to create a username and password, but I couldn’t believe how long it took for a system with 2 gigabytes of RAM….I was expecting more speeeed!!
