The outlook gfx are messing up? I would say you have other programs running which are doing weird stuff x-x
zwr also reported that he had problems with his sound card before he updated the driver, it took a lot of memory when running Graal.
Older computer are sometimes running better because they don't have all the bad stuff from Windows 2000 / XP. The base OS takes more RAM with Windows 2000 / XP, also it starts many services at startup, and people often have tons of things running which they never need, and since the taskbar is optimized to not display the icons of inactive services anymore many people don't even know that those are running. On Windows you basicly need a firewall which is blocking certain ports from intrusion, but everything else can be turned off.
