A little help needed please

[Oilymo]

The story so far.....

I've just unpacked my shiny new HP XW Workstation, installed ADT 2007 and then un-installed it preferring to use ADT 2006 until I have time to really assess the new features.

For some reason this all singing and dancing PC (compared to my old RM machine) is absolutely dog slow. Has anyone got an insight into the HP Performance Tools etc.. and ADT or any setting advice?

This is a 3.4 GHz, 2Gb RAM PC with an Nvidia FX 3450 graphics card and it performs like my old 486!

All help gratefully received.

Hardware discussion area on this server is probably a better
place to post if you want to try there.

It's mainly when in hidden/rendered and trying to select ISO views or free rotate. Everything else is normal.....
