The fact is that dissabling composite (nvidia driver) the speed is really<br>

So, do you think I need a better computer for KDE4? The fact is that I'll buy<br>
a new one :), but I really expected that 1 GB RAM and CPU 1600 MHz (dual core)<br>
was enough for "using" KDE4 with just a few apps open (Konqueror, Kopete,<br>
Kontact and Yakuake plus KDE4 core daemons).<br>

<br>No, it doesn't run as fast as my Desktop computer (Quadcore Q6600 @2.4GHz, 8GB of RAM and a NVidia 9600GT), but it runs quite nicely, taking the kind of hardware power I have on my netbook. Yes, I believe KDE3 would run faster on it. But then... sometimes it is a matter of "personal taste". I like the visual (and usability) of KDE4 more, so I have quit using KDE3 since KDE-4.0 was out :)<br>
<br>Oh, on my netbook I disabled the "desktop effects" in KDE4. That already gives me a little boost in performance on the netbook. On the desktop I use loads of FX ;)<br><br>Kenjiro<br>
