I blamed the slowness of my grandfather's PC on HP for making crappy computers (which they legitimately do) for over a year. Then all of the sudden, he had a CCB issue -- caused by Norton -- so I replaced it with AVG it and the whole thing doubled in speed instantly. It's still a bucket of crap, because it's HP, but it's not an overflowing bucket of crap anymore. It's almost a decent PC.
I'm happy with my system not even hitting half my reasources even when I'm playing two DVD's via Windows Media Player
