If you think ArcView is slow, try using AutoDesk Map 2005 with one or more aerials loaded. Panning and zooming is a nightmare.

Matt,
No matter what you do, ArcGIS will never run as fast as you think it should. A lot of it is the OS and more of it is due to ArcGIS, and very little of it is your system. This is assuming you have a) defrag your hard drive, b) removed spyware c) scanned for viruses, and d) unloaded any non-essential system-tray applications (just to troubleshoot). I'm running a Dell 650 Precision Workstation, Dual 3 GHz processors, 4 GB SDRAM, XPSP2, all ArcGIS patches and updates, and it still chuggs along so slow. Fuggedaboutit.....
