"Slower"? No, it's not even as fast as slower. Unless you run it on
a 4 gig 64 bit machine, since that's what it was designed for.
Otherwise you're back to running XP on a 95 box.

My wife just got a new laptop. 2 gig 64 bit Athelon Turion, 2 gigs of
RAM, 120 gig HD, (XP Multimedia runs the PCI TV set nicely) ... a bare
minimum machine for Vista (we hope it's enough for the first run of
Vista).
A 55 foot semi hauling a peanut for linux. My 486DX33 with 5 MEGS of
RAM runs linux (no GUI) without breaking a sweat.
You'd think Gates has stock in Intel and the RAM foundries.
