Too slow computer for Gnome 3 ?

Do I have too much slow computer athlon xp 2600+ 1.91ghz 720ram nv5500 to run Gnome 3 ?
gdm does not load in 1 minute so I canceled
Lxdm allows to load gnome3, but its so slow that I more wait then work with the pc...

(Kde4 is good, but after time it started to be slow.)

Re: Too slow computer for Gnome 3 ?

Your hardware is not good enough for gnome3 as they intended. Why don't you try some alternatives - like XFCE, Openbox or a tilling wm.

Your hardware is....

I kind of sticked with xfce, but it got broken, there are no window borders to drag windows(close minimize maximize) and I can not write text to the windows like run command and others, but I can write web address in firefox.
So I had to try LXDE, it was the fastest wm I had, but it is getting slow, the same like kde.
There is also always a 100% cpu usage, but the applications does not take that much. Its on the picture

Its starting to have problems with playing a videos by vlc media player.... its crazy I would say. . .
There is one thing definite, that my pc has lost its power, its not like the first time I got it.
Id like to try awesome wm, but how could I ever create a configuration file about it.
