I don't know how this guy can be getting such slow results on his computer. On my computer, Word only takes 3.5 seconds to load from disk and 1 second to load from the cache.
I have a Sempron2800 with 768 MB RAM and a 7200 RPM IDE HD. I also have virtual memory off because I'm smart like that. I just recently upgraded to the 2800 because my AthlonXP1800 and mobo broke. Theres a 500 MHz difference in clock speed between the two and 1000 AMD performance ratings but the 1800 wasnt any significantly slower in opening office (maybe a second or so).
This guy just has something seriously screwed up with his system.
