I haven't performed any benchmarks, but the 'feel' is a little slower. I wouldn't call it it sluggish though. I rarely use office so I can't even give an impression there. I got it mainly to do Lotus 123 work. Some of the spreadsheets are fair sized (4 to 5 meg) and make heavy use of macros to pull info from files (mostly text and dbf's) into a single spreadsheet. Occasionally a macro will break while doing an edit-copy and paste and I have to restart it. Mouse scrolling doesn't always work as expected either. I haven't run into a real 'show stopper' yet, but if I know I'm going to be spending a few hours doing nothing but Lotus work, I usually reboot into windows... It just feels more comfortable. If I have a lot of linux work to do or if I only need to do something down, dirty and quick, I'll fire it up so I can avoid the reboot and keep working in linux. As for hardware, I'm running an AMD xp 1800 with 768 meg ram and an 80 gig ATA 100 7200 rpm IDE drive. I don't remember the MB specs off hand and I don't have the books near by.
