PLEASE HELP!!!

I thought I read somewhere that Xbench score =/= computational speed. Something about it not necessarily testing the right things. But that's just my 2c.

If you're Xbench score is low but you know the system is performing as well as it should, then don't worry about it. Xbench scores don't mean that your computer is screwed up. The scores are only useful for showing off to people and for comparing systems...

I wouldn't mind if my system was performing well, but trust me its slow. When I try to open any apps or anything, it would take 5-10 secs to open it.

compare to mine (see sig) and spot the problem.
