Does disabling Hyperthreading (at BIOS setup control program) help?

With 4G I'd install the x86_64 version. Not that I think that PAE is the
reason for this slow behaviour (last reporter who had that somewhere on
bugs.centos.org had bad RAM), but ...

additional useful info might be ...

# dmesg
# lspci
#vmstat 5 5
# iostat -x 5 5

the last 2 will take about 30 seconds each to run (oh, iostat is part of 
package `sysstat` which may not be installed by default, `yum install 
sysstat`)

and if the dmesg output doesn't start with
Linux version 2.6.18-92.1.6.el5 (mockbuild at builder16.centos.org) (gcc 
version 4.1.2 20071124 (Red Hat 4.1.2-42)) #1 SMP Wed Jun 25 1
3:49:24 EDT 2008

(or similar) that means the dmesg buffer likely overflowed, so cat 
/var/log/dmesg to get the snapshot output of it right after the system 
booted

I don't think PAE would be causing his issue...I have a similar system 
with 8GB of RAM and I got better performance w/ PAE than I did with 
x86_64, but YMMV depending on usage of the system...

Israel, have you tried running memtest86 just to rule out a memory 
error? Also, when you installed, did you let the installer check your media?

Well, I ran memtest86 and I got no errors....I installed this kernel
2.6.18-92.1.10.el5 and everything was very fast BUT, it only recognize
3GB RAM. :-(  I installed CentOS5.2 64 x86_64 bits and I got the same
slow performance.. On x86_64 I installed the latest kernel and nothing..
:-(
 
Regards..Israel

If your disk controllers aren't properly recognized, it might help
booting with

hda=noprobe hdc=noprobe

You can test this by running "hdparm -t -T" on your disk with and
without these boot options.

This has helped me on some systems.
