Nope, I'd already checked Norton DD and SD as well as TTP's diagnostic and Optimization, but it's still off. As for your underlying question, what do I need the speed for -- Tons of large WP documents as well as photos and web editing. I assumed I would see a marked difference between the 604e and the G3 and when I didn't find it (and didn't notice anyone else commenting on similar problems), I figured something was amiss on my end.
