Hi, I have terrible speed problems with my ASUS computer, running an AMD ATHLON XP-M 2600 processor. I first suspected faulty SWAP memory, but this seems to work ok now. Is it possible I run the wrong kernel? When checking for the kernel, I get the result below. This really is a grave problem for me, so if anyone has a hint I would really appreciate it.
