Default Too slow to do anything

I can get to the desktop, and after about 1-2 mins, the mouse starts to move
slowly, then it cuts out all together and I can't do a thing

Pentium D 2.93GHz
512MB DDR RAM
Radeon 9600 256MB

= Problem No 1 (not enough)

Radeon 9600 256MB

= Problem No 2 (some users report probs - google, perhaps)

Other hardware? Drivers? (- other probs?)

I'd start with a fresh ATI Catalyst driver for that 9600 just for giggles.
The CPU's got plenty of horsepower, but I wouldn't recommend less than 1GB
(despite the minimum requirements stated on the upcoming box). At start up,
my Vista installs have been hovering between 400-600MB without any bells and
whistles running.

I've got a few sluggish issues on my latest iteration of RC2 when I
installed over the top of RC1 (which was snappy). I played with some
drivers and other easy fixes, but it looks like I'll haul off a clean
installation for giggles.

After about 2-3 minutes the entire computer grinds to a hault
