I think there's someting more going on than just the available
memory issue. Did anyone notice that the OP's system has a
3.06 GHz P4 and 533MHz RAM, but only has a performance
rating of 1. With those specs it should be in the vicinity of 4.
My old 2.4GHz P4 with PC3200 RAM rated at 3.7.


Good catch. The OP needs to drill down and get the details of of the
experience index to see which item is not performing.

Or which failed to complete a performance test, Vista assumes 1.0 until
proven otherwise.
