My work PC is an Core 1 Duo 1.8GHz running XP. The PC boots to desktop in roughly a minute, but is not usable for another 2 minutes due to high CPU and disk load by McAfee virus scanner. (I use SysInternals Process Explorer to monitor.) Also, every day at 10 I cannot do anything CPU or disk hungry for 1-2 minutes because McAfee does its signature update. You really notice that, even without the sudden increase in fan noise. Just recently I've upgraded the machine from 1.5Gb to 3Gb RAM with noticeable speed improvements. (Visual Studio 2010 is a huge memory hog!) Back when XP was released, it was working with 128Mb RAM, and was well equipped with 256Mb RAM. The OS is still the same...
