It may simply be driver issues. I doubt Diamond Viper drivers are kept
completely up to date.

I agree with your other suggestion though, make a big ass swap file (mine is
a Gig). One thing to do  that does help with the swap file is to make the
minimum size and maximum size the same.

One big performance culprit (for everything) is if you have Office
installed, the default install puts FindFast in your system, which
periodically scans your drives. Uninstall it, or at least turn off the
indexing for all drives.

Play with the color depth. Other color depths (even higher ones) may be
faster because of driver and hardware issues.
