my current one is a pentium 4, 2.6 GHz, and it runs fast as heck... I couldn't imagine any faster... I have yet to lag my computer down, and nothing is slow... I open a webpage, and the second the window opens, the page is loaded... it's great

anyways, since the system is new, there's probably a lot of un-needed junk starting up when your computer starts up, maybe delete all that stuff. Also, with a new computer, you have to re-download all the webgifs, and expost the maps when you walk arounf PWs, which can slow you down a little. Other than that, I dunno... sometimes I find myself lagged down... but it has to be server-side, because with a fast connection, and new commputer, there's no way I would lag on a PW.

Okay, first off, what does a webpage loading quickly have to do with your processing speed? How fast a page loads is more determined on how fast your net connection is. Having a P4 on a dial modem isn't going to make websites load faster.
It's just a known fact that AMD is better than Pentium. Sure the pentium chip might be on top when it comes to the number, but a 1ghz pentium runs as fast as a 650mhz amd, so explain that.
Also, has anybody even hit on the fact that he probably has a bad graphics card, or graphics drivers? I mean, all he mentioned was his processor, which isn't very impressive in the first place.
There is also the fact that his net connecting might be different, the machine might be handling things differently, meaning an online game like Graal (where lag plays a big part in how fast you move and stuff) would also play a factor.
