My laptop specs:

1.6Ghz Centrino
512Mb of RAM
80Gb HDD
Wifi, mic, cam...

-----------------------------

I used Windows XP before i installed Ubuntu..

On my gaming desktop PC i use Windows 7, not Vista
because it's utter shit!
But i don't play a lot on PC, mostly PS3, PS2...

Well there you go! Your computer is OLD... That RAM is horrible and so is the HDD...no wonder it ran slow! It almost has the same specs as my friend's PC (she has only 128MB of RAM, but same HDD). Her dad has to do a 'clean' every few months because her computer runs horribly slow. She even tells me that she has a hard time watching stuff on YouTube and our IM conversations always lag.

But congrats on getting Linux. I have nothing else to say other than I don't prefer stuff that's made by multiple people and they are told it is guaranteed that it will be better than Windows...but still, the only reason why your PC ran slow with Windows was because of you processor, RAM and HDD.
